While details relating to the seminars for the Austin rally are still being finalized here are some of the seminars that will be presented.

Bill Jensen of Prevost Car will be teaching us what information is available on the Prevost Car web site, and how to access such things as electrical diagrams, pneumatic diagrams, webinars and other great features that can prove to be very helpful to us. We literally have information relating to our specific serial number available to us on the Prevost Car web site and Bill is going to teach the magic of how to access that wealth of information.

While talking about Bill's involvement in seminars we are also fortunate to have him (with his almost quarter century of Prevost experience on motorhome conversions) available to answer questions. On another thread you can continue to post questions for Bill or any of the Prevost representatives that will be in Austin.

For all of us new and not so new owners we are fortunate to have a seminar to teach us about pre-trip inspections and checklists. Brian and Beverly Esler will be working behind the scenes to pull all the information together and Gordon and Jennifer Deen will be presenting the seminar. This is expected to be a fun presentation and those of us that have driven away with the toad brakes locked or who have had a refrigerator door swing open while driving can appreciate how important this will be.

We are fortunate to have two of our in-house experts available to do a presentation on our air systems. This seminar put on by Hector Duplichen and John Klopp will be an introduction to our braking and suspension systems. This presentation is not intended to make us certified mechanics, but will give us all a solid basic understanding of our air systems taking the mystery out of it. If time permits during the seminar and free times we may get to see Hector's "bubbler", a sure way to isolate air leaks.

One technical session that has always proven enjoyable is our "round table" discussion. Representatives from Prevost, converters and other service providers will be available for a question and answer period to discuss current issues, what they see for the future and any topics you may wish to cover with the experts.

Right now it has not been set up, but through Gordon Deen we are hoping to have a presentation by a local generator company. Our generators are a mystery to a lot of us and we are hoping to be able to confirm that we will have a session to help take the mystery out of our alternate power source.

Don't miss an opportunity to take advantage of these seminars and technical sessions. The best way to enjoy your Prevost is to have a good understanding of the coach and its systems. We are arranging a great slate of presentations that will provide you with a higher comfort level.
