I sure didn't know this could happen!
I guess if you do anything long enough, you'll end up doing it all but I sure didn't know this could happen. A couple of Fridays ago I look out at the coach in the back and see a liquid stain on the ground. Now, "I wonder what that could be" I thought. Go outside and I could smell the diesel on the ground. After the required F-bomb I go to try and figure where it's coming from and when I opened my house battery bay, out pours fuel! I thought it must have been coming from the generator supply side but that's dry and tight. A quick call to Prevost and they reccomended Kingdom coach in Mobile, which is close enough. A call to them and they say bring it over on Monday AM. I collect fuel all weekend with drip pans (less than 2 gallons lost total) and head to Mobile early Monday and leave it with them.
Kingdom was smart enough to know what they didn't know and talked to Prevost and a converter or two and determined it was the supply line to the reserve tank coming off the main fuel tank. To make a long story short, they pulled drained the tanks (and saved the fuel!!!) replaced the line that had a split in it, and put the whole thing back together in a matter of a couple of days. On top of that I though they were very reasonable on the bill. I was expecting probably $2500 bucks but it was about half that.
The best part was that I found a local company that wants to work on Prevosts and is very familiar with them. They operate about 15 seated coaches and really seem to know what they're doing.
If you're in the area and need some help give them a call at 251-660-2923. Scott Grantham owns the company and Gary Wise is the service manager.
I suppose the moral of this story is never be surprised about anything on one of these machines. Murphy's Law obviously has an office at Prevost.
