Over-the-road air??

[dale farley]

Pete,

I doubt that any of the guys are really offended. I have never had Prevost OTR air, and I am perfectly satisfied with my CC OTR air, but in reality, I have never had to use it.

If I had Prevost OTR air, I would certainly be looking for reasons to like it as we most often do when we have any feature on our bus. I am sure it will keep the bus cooler than any other source available. The only time I would hate that I had the Prevost unit would be when I had to do major repairs, such as replace the compressor.

Fortunately, most of us concentrate on the things we like about our current coach and accept the things we may not like as well as another available option that we don't have. If we don't do that, we would all go nuts trying to keep up with the Jones.

Pete-

All is good! We just spur each other and try to hang on for 8 seconds.

Pete, Fear not. Truk is a little grump living down there near Hotlanta without OTR trying to make like everything is OK. In reality he just wishes he had it.

Those of us with OTR know the truth.

I thought all Liberties had OTR?

No. In later years I think all except maybe special order coaches come with it, but in the early years Liberty had two versions of their coach with the less expensive model only having driver's air.

Liberty is building their first 3 slide H3 and because of weight they are not going to have OTR in this one.The OTR weighs 700 pounds.

Jack: So how are the going to keep it cool while moving?

I don't have Prevost OTR air but I do have a funeral home fan from Denny.

Micki is driving and I am a riding on our way to the Dan and Jo all u can eat Mississippi Mini Rally in Bay St Louis.

And I ain't sweated a bit yet. But you know how women drivers are.

Maybe at the crap tables?

Yall come

Here's one Jim. This is a real nice 96 Liberty with no OTR air. I think it was at Paul's when you picked up your bus.

Like Jon,I really like OTR air and heat.I know that it cost more from Prevost as well as more labor and materials for the converter and also weighs more.A Liberty without OTR is IMHO almost a sin in 2009,it will be interesting to see if an old Liberty customer buys this one or someone that has never had bus air.I don't know but I bet that it has 2 Outback 3500 watt inverters with six 8D batteries and 4 cruise airs.Traveling in the desert when two cruise airs overheat just turn on the other two until the others cool down and then begin the cycle again.

Jack,

Tell the truth. You just take delivery of your new three slide Liberty H3 Elegant Lady with (only) four Cruise Airs and you head out to the desert in August.

What will your first reaction be when you find out you are working your fingers to the bone pressing buttons to cycle the AC units on and off so you can keep the inside of your new pride and joy at a comfortable 90 degrees after you just traded in a coach with OTR?

I'm pretty sure even if they all worked as they were supposed to that 4 Cruise Airs will not cool that much interior with the slides open. Remember, these coaches aren't the white Winnebagos but are the fashionable dark colors.

It will feel like the North Pole when you jump in that coach after standing out in the hot desert sun, but after being in it for a little while and it can't get out of the 80s inside I can just see the new owner going ballistic.

Nope......five roof airs and an engine driven generator.
