As always thanks for watching. Give me a thumbs up if it provided any value. Excited to bring more videos in the upcoming weeks!
I love your videos, as a child, to visit grandma, I used to ride Dina Olimpico buses with 12-gear manual, with an 8v71 engine... trust me, you do not want your bus to sound like THAT, as a child I was always standing on the stairs of the entrance enjoying the view, but the engine noise was so much all the way to the front that just 1 hr ride got me migraines, Prevost is the best you barely hear the noise of the engine when driving... thanks for your videos.
What an experience! Can’t imagine 12 gears with an 8V - it probably was really loud getting the right power out to hit the next gear!
@@CampPrevost, I was a kid, my apologies they were 10 gear not 12, I didn't notice the mistake... well, they never let me drive it obviously but still today buses in mexico for some reason, they like them more manual transmission than automatic, in a few years it will be safe for anyone to drive their RV's all over Mexico, but let's wait for a better government there, I can't wait to drive with my family from Baja California north and south California, to Cancun stopping at the most beautiful places there are, Blessings
It’s always nice to get our significant others out of cold storage. Looking forward to all the new projects, keep up the great work.
It is! Thanks!
IRON MAN COLORS ... Thanks for this Vid.
Welcome
Good stuff. Always learn something applicable to our own journeys.
Glad it provides value - trying to fill a gap of no video with these old things.
@@CampPrevost Well, they may be older coaches, but still workhorses.
Glad your back !
Thanks - me too!
Enjoyed the video as always. Thank you.
Welcome - hopefully it was of value.
ahhh the struggles of moving are real. I didnt bring my bus to Wyoming cuz it was getting much needed engine area service and parts take forever to ship!. Needed both manifolds, gaskets, bolts etc. Plus might as well change out all hoses air regulator stuff, filters, oil, coolant, check for leaks etc etc. Ill still have to solve my TOAD dilemma ...renting vehicles is atrociously expensive. Will be painting her as soon as my project here in Wyoming is done! Your bus is still beautiful even without a wash!
Thanks! Good luck on your engine work - sounds like she’ll be new when your done! I guess there are very few TOAD set up vehicles these days. I got lucky my F150 was one of them.
I really enjoy watching your videos, we don't have such large mobile homes in Germany and mine is only half as long.
I really think 30-35’ is the perfect length. 45 is almost to much sometimes. Thanks for watching!
@@CampPrevost How high is the diesel consumption of your mobile home?
@@schwabenkanal it’s about 6.5-7 mpg. Downhill with the wind behind me probably 8!
@@CampPrevost That's less than I assumed. That corresponds to about 30 liters per 100 km. We calculate in liters and kilometers. My vehicle, which weighs 7.5 tons, consumes about 4 mpg which corresponds to 15 liters per 100 km.
@@schwabenkanal I got mine weighed and she’s 50,000 lbs. I guess if you consider pushing 50k lbs at 70mph down the road - 6.5-7 isn’t to bad
Hello 👋 from Hastings Michigan. You should take a trip with this Prevost to Canada and north to Alaska.
That would be awesome!
Great video! Absolutely beautiful coach. Can’t wait to see the future videos.
Thanks!
Well done, I envy your enclosed storage, hurricane Ian made a mess of storage in SW Florida, especially covered and indoor options.
We had some close calls with tornadoes- would have been a disaster for sure!
Coming to Texas are you young Jedi 🤩
Will be using the force in our race!
@@CampPrevost I have an order in for some dilithium crystals gonna give her all she’s got captain
Where do you find a vessel big enough to soak a 45 ft long, 8.5 for wide, and 13 ft tall Prevost, and did you add any other spices or seasoning to your brining mixture?
Proofreading is your friend
That’s funny - I can’t spell so thanks! Lol
@@CampPrevost I was getting excited, as I'm a fan of both Prevost buses, and brining/pickling
Did U have to disconnect batteries to store it there ?
They give me a 120v 20 amp cord, so technically no - but I just switch them off anyway. When turned off I don’t think they have any loss. I had them off for 4 months and they came back on to the same percentage. I created a bypass in the coach - and turn off the batteries and inverters and 12v - let them rest, but still have full AC power in the coach. That allows me to run the chassis/start and generator battery tenders. Those batteries are still lead acid.
Only a 24V battery system? Why not 48V?
If I had to do it from scratch I’d use 48, no question. Since Prevost is all 24v, it only made since. They also already have 2 large 24v alternators in place as well.
@@CampPrevost Yes, that is usually the driver.
I bet it takes you 3 hours to watch 60 minutes whatever business ur in I bet your dad gave you the business.
What a A$$
