I have to assume that was Rick May. He's likely the most knowledgeable conversion guy out there. Too bad you didn't get an orientation when you bought it. I know many don't as I'm called upon later to provide confidence training and a once over on newly purchased coaches.
Your temperatures seem normal. Here's the specs right out of the Prevost manual.

Yes Gil it was Rick May. Great guy extremely helpful. Dealer rep in FL wasn't at all familiar with Prevost, admittedly so and set up the orientation with Rick, which I was very thankful for.
Those temps are just higher than what I remember Series 60's running in class 8 trucks. Any drawback to leaving HIGH FAN on other than maybe a little more fuel consumption and I'm guessing more stress on the fan drive. Or completely unnecessary?
Leaving the fan on high won't hurt a thing other than your fuel mileage, with one exception. You wouldn't want the fan to come on immediately after the engine starts, unless your belts stay tight. Also, once it warms up outside this is a moot point if you have Prevost dash air. With dash air on the fan (in most years) will go to high after a timer expires. If you have a transmission retarder you can expect the engine to run a bit hotter.
OK thank you. No dash air. Bus air only. Jacobs brake no trans retarder. Belts DONT stay tight. Bus front axle will squat sitting overnight, followed by tag lifting and rear squatting by 24 hrs. Air leak somewhere- at least it’s even side to side. Thx for replies. Would it be better to post mechanical questions in appropriate forum categories?
Billy, it helps to keep each thread focused on one subject. You might want to get with Joe and have him put you on his list next time he's out your way.

Ahhhhhhh!!!
Joe - would you put me on your list next time you are this way?
I'll be in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas second half of April and probably the entire month of May. My number is in my POG signature and I'd be excited to here from u.
Got it - you definitely will thx.
A few Attachment 15395Attachment 15397Attachment 15398Attachment 15399pics. Hasn’t moved since we brought it home and likely won’t for awhile. It is fully lowered and actually cleared everything. Bottom of trusses and door header are 12' exactly. Light fixtures below that. I should have installed lights on the sides of bottom chord, may move them - wasn't planning on getting a bus :-) First pic I took in FL, for some reason must click attachment to see it.?.
