New POGers

[bravochrly]

Hi All,

After looking for several years, and reading many many posts in the POG forums, Lynda and I finally bit the bullet and bought a coach from Steve at California Coach last August. It's a 1992 vintage, 40-ft, Country Coach conversion and we've had a lot of fun with it so far -- about 5,000 miles worth. I guess we (I) should have introduced ourselves earlier, but I'm a little shy about that kind of thing so I had to wait until we had a problem that I couldn't solve to come running for help!

We live on the coast near San Francisco -- which seems to be a Prevost-free zone, among other things -- and if there are any other Prevost folks close by, I would love to get a recommendation for repairs and maintenance. My current problem is leaking coolant from under/behind the hot water heaters and an inoperative Webasto. It's a long story, but if there is anyone out there who is conversant with the CC hydronic heating system, I would love to bend your ear for several hours and at least get this problem off my chest!

On a happier note, we stayed at LVMC Resort a couple of weeks ago and loved it. Great service, great resort and great people. They threw a great St. Paddies day bash, gratis to everyone in the resort... food, band, the whole works. A lot of fun. We will probably be there for the POG rally, assuming I can get my hot water working again. Thanks in advance for any kind (or even not kind) advice you might have!

Hi Bruce & Lynda,

Welcome to the Prevost Owners Group - POG.

There are several Country Coach owners on this site who can assist you. I am a CC owner but my technical skills are not as advanced as some other owners.

I look forward to meeting you both in Vegas.

Welcome aboard!

Jamie

Bruce and Lynda, here's wishing you a big southern welcome to POG, Little things that go bump in the dark are part of bus ownership, but the good times just blank them all out, welcome!

Bruce & Lynda,

Welcome to POG! You sure live in a beautiful part of the country. Sorry I can't help with your Webasto problem; try calling Vehicle Systems in Ft. Lupton, CO. They build the Webasto and they should be able to direct you to the closest service center. Also, Steve Bennett may be know of someone in your area who can help you.

Always feel free to post, we all need help from time to time. Glad to have you aboard!

Thanks Merle&Louise!

I'm giving them a call tomorrow. Thanks for the tip! I wonder if they make the Isotherm marine water heaters as well... I'll find out when I call. Thanks again,
Bruce

I spent some time in the South in my youth. Lynda is a Texan. So thank y'all for the kind welcome.

Welcome Bruce,

We also have a "vintage" CC, so I'm sure we will share some stories down the road. Enjoy the trip and feel free to call if I can be of help. We've had ours for 7+ years so have learned a few lessons...772 201 7344

Bruce,
I have some experience with Webasto having taken mine apart three times in another coach and more recently having replaced one of the cracked anti-freeze pumps as well as a fuel pump on my current machine over the last 12 months.
My number is 713 725 9486 if you want to call and talk about your issues. I may not help but will try. I do have a list of checks. There are more capable persons on this site than myself so I feel you will get the issue solved. We have one of the best Webasto people in the nation here in Houston and we might also bend his ear if we can get the questions exact.
