We got the bus Monday in Alvarado from Motor Home Specialist. Got there at noon as our flight was diverted due to weather Sunday night. Got the paperwork out of the way and did the walk through with the sale people. Spent about 3 hours or so with the service mgr. and then they ran us out to a covered pad to spend the night. Had an electrical glitch with all the storms around and had to reset an inverter, but everything else seemed fine.
Did some shopping and settled in for the night. Tuesday we went over some more systems with the service mgr. and we departed about 2PM to return our rental. My wife took the rental and I followed. Almost as soon as I hit 35W, the battery bal light came on and stayed on all the way to DFW rental return. I figured it was not a good sign, so I called Prevost in Ft. Worth and they were good enough to get me in right away and did a quick diagnostic and replaced what I think was the equalizer (not the small 4x8 monitor up high, but the one that is bigger mounted low directly in front of the batteries). No charge, no hassle and best part, in and out in less than an hour.
Got on the road and stayed in OKC at Twin Fountains. Nice place as most of you already know...
Hit the road Wed AM and headed toward Kansas City, MO stayed at Basswood Resort for the night. Headed out in the rain and drove in rain all the way home to Duluth. Got in about 9:30 last night.
Had a pocket door come off the track, a ceiling panel come down (removable for AC access, just velcroed on) a sticky black tank dump valve, and a front slide that squeaks like hell and gives an error when opening, but not closing. Other than that a very uneventful trip. The slide gives an over current error while opening, but is fine when closing....
Bus runs great, handles well and is quiet when the slide isn't squeaking!
Now, how does one get rid of squeaks from a front slide???? Can one spray silicone on the gaskets/seals??? I will call Prevost about the error next week when I have some free time.
