Prevost coach's

Also a member of the 80 Prevost club, just mine is an 40 ft'er. We are out there.

Well in very new here too, but welcome to the group!

See if Freds will let you be Vice President!
 Rick West and I only have 35 footers and we would like a shot at Secretary and Treasurer. Under current bylaws (written by Fred) we are too small to hold office in the 1980 Prevost Club. As a Newbie you may be unaware that Fred (Freds) is the President of the 1980 Prevost club (self appointed). However, as owner of a REAL Prevost (40 foot minimum) you may have influence on the Kingdom.
I know Rick and I are just little bus people, but in this era of celebrating diversity we appeal to your sense of fairness and hope you can help us. No need to PM us offline as Fred is a computer guy, knows we are up to something, and has already hacked our accounts.
Welcome aboard and if you get the chance, see what you can do....

Hey, the group is growing! I'm going to appoint our ausie doodle Holly as a Board Member

Rick. I can see you have experienced the 90 degree picture problem. We have all complained about it. Solution offered by BCM was way too complicated. Short version to fix is one of the following:
1 Ask people to turn their computer sideways to see your picture
2 Use a camera, not phone, and they post straight
3 I turned my phone 90 degrees sideways (clockwise) before I took the picture and that worked. But it was a pain in the fanny

I just always dig out our old digital camera (look in your junk drawer, it is still there) and download pics to your computer and they upload fine. When you post, you will see in the upper right corner a chance to modify, remove and it gives you time to change it before it "sets up". So try posting a few pics that way until you figure out a solution that works for you. You can always dump the post if they go sideways on you.

Thanks, I tend to landscape on most photos to get better shots...you now these 35ft units need all the help they can get

Be proud my brother! We have a Prevost sports car! Mine goes fast enough. Stopping has been a challenge since I was used to driving sticks and staples rigs before this. I just put rubber bumpers on the front and back. Front ones to save the people in front of me. Back ones to keep the College girl texting in her Kia from denting my bumper at a stop light...

or deal with the problem and fix it here.

Actually we do adjust and hey in a sort of panic stop situation the feedback loop is how many thing go crash behind us inside of the couch as we jump on the binders. Which is moderated by how intense our pre-departure inspection is!!!!

I have learned that the bus doesn't move until I do an exterior and internal walk through before any movement!!!!

Being a nerd I especially pay attention to the portable high tech items...

When Rita is not with me I suck at securing the inside. Last trip to Shipshewana Indy for a fridge and to Chattanooga for service I was sans Rita. Indy trip: A hard breaking for a stop sign runner - one of the dinner table chairs on wheels came to the dash with a crash. Twice going to Chat I forgot to close the toilet seat lid. Very loud and disconcerting. The first time I stopped to see what was broken!

[sledhead]

always do a pre flight check to see if everything is nailed down , my wife checks 1st then just b4 we leave I do a check again and most times we are good.
On the trip south this year in South Carolina cuz there roads are crap we hit a pot hole that made the coach bounce so bad even though the upper cabinet door was closed and latched the tea cups and her old brown betty bounced and smashed in the cabinet . We thought something broke but did not know what untill we stopped at a rest stop and opened the cabinet and found 2 cups, 1 corel plate and the brown betty were smashed .

never b4 has anything ever broke inside a cabinet and because we could not move 2 try and get around the mother of a pothole we just held our breath as we hit it . We saw lots of pot holes 8-12" square that were so deep u could see the rebar 6" down and still see below that

But as soon as we crosed into Georgia ( I95 sb ) the road opened up wider and was smoooooth

I just installed gas struts on my cabinet doors.



Which will hopefully remove the slamming that I sometimes hear going around corners or contents coming out if something falls over inside the cabinet.

The doors on my cabinets are of a heavy plywood and replacing the hinges had no effect. These do the job and when they are folded down it takes a tug to get the door open.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, but I am actually an old member of the boards. Lost all my log ins and account info so just started a new one. Used to be MB LeMirage. But again thanks for the welcomes. BTW 35's are are the sleek sports car of the Prevost line and will outrun mine any day of the week.
Cheers.
