Thread: I made a mistake

    I think more than anything it actually increases the electronic efficiency of the engine. The Stienbauer website had a lot of reviews from all around the world. I'm just a logger at heart and we always have to have a little more power when the chain hits the wood. :-) I'll keep you guys posted as time goes on.

    Karl, Take your time and look at everything out there. There are some great deals on coaches but you need to check them all out. There are several good converters out there and even some that are not in business anymore made good conversions in there day, and there are still people out there that know the coaches as far as repair goes. It seems like the best deal shows up right after you buy. I was lucky enough to be able to hook up with the previous owner of my coach so when I have a problem I can call him. That is a great resource to have, he owned the coach for five years and really knew it inside and out. Remember a beautiful paint job overwhelms a guy but it can hide a lot. I went in them, under them, and through them. I made six trips to Florida from Iowa to look at coaches. That said I never wanted anything other than a Prevost and the first motorhome I have ever owed. I sure hope I find out that I like camping.

    Panama, just west of Jamestown. Factory was at the Jamestown / Chautauqua County Airport.

    I agree with Dave and his skepticism. Since I have a record of every single gallon of fuel ever put into my buses I will make a deal. Pay for the upgrade for my coach and in a year we will compare the results with my recorded history. If my mileage has gained as much as is being claimed I will pay for the upgrade and for the upgrade on your coach also.

    As to the acceleration part, that's easy. We will pick a place to do a few timed runs and record the data. When the upgrade is installed we will repeat the runs on a day when the temperature is exactly the same as the previous tests.

    Any takers?

    I just check the mpg on dash. The mpg towing pre-module was 4.8 Pa to Fl , after 5.8 . As far as the pwer part like I said earlier I am a newbie still, but driving thru WV on 79 and 19 I noticed a difference. I'd like to wager but I'm not a bettin man:-). Jon we use Pat Kennedy for our Ins. guy for sawmill, he's in Jamestown at the old Erickson Swann Rolly bldg. Do you know him or Mike Latone? Mike has a Prevost and I believe he has something to do with the Prevost Prouds. Also, we've used Gene Cotter as a realtor in that area. How long have you been living in south?

    I'll give the signature a try. I'm a little tech challenged.

    Chris,

    I don't recognize the name Pat kennedy, but know of the others. I flew Mike out to buy his first coach in Champaign IL. I left the snow belt in 2000 and at that time in Chautauqua County there were at least 5 of us with Prevosts.
