Liberty Coach

[eagle10]

Prevosman,
Do you have a Liberty phone number that will give me some of the great service that you get? Contact person who would call me back? Thanks.

If Liberty looks up on owners of a 20 year old Liberty vs a 5 year coach a like prevoman stated I would not waste a call that is wrong anyway you look at.

Eagle,

The number I use is 800-554-9877 for Stuart, FL Troy is the service guru who always answers questions.

The factory in Chicago is 800-332-9877. I ask for Bill Daugherty for service questions but Bill is so busy they often just send the call to Stuart, FL. Bill has been with Liberty forever and has an amazing ability to remember every coach built. Eagle, if you need repairs or want someone to maintain your coach don't overlook the very good companies that have the skills and ability to work on your coach such as Coach Worx in FL, or Russell Coach in TN.

Luvrbus, I am not suggesting they denigrate the owners of older coaches, but they recognize their business is selling coaches so their efforts are aimed towards selling and servicing what they sell. At one time they sold 3 used coaches for every new one so they do understand older coaches are important to them, however the ability to get coaches financed if they are older than 10 years is unlikely so their emphasis has to be on newer coaches.

I have had the opportunity to see a lot of conversions, including Liberty conversions, and in my opinion as a coach ages the owners become less inclined to take their coach to a converter or a professional for modifications or upgrades, preferring to do things like that themselves or using someone who will do such things less expensively. The results are often not pretty. Especially when someone was switching from the older converter technology to the current inverter / charger type systems. I wouldn't want to touch a coach that has been boogered up and I suspect neither would a converter or repair station that works on high end products. That also might impact their willingness to embrace servicing older models.

Thanks for the numbers.These are the ones that I have called before. I was not looking for service but information on the coach itself. Size of tanks, number of coach, etc. I do most of the work on the coach myself but we also have an excellent diesel mechanic up here in Maine. I take it to Dick Lamb (Custom Land Yachts) in Windham, Maine for any electrical, etc. One of our club members was a diesel mechanic for 35 years and does alot
of work on the New England buses. Really like the Liberty and I am going for a ride in the coach today.  (Enjoy the good life)

The size of the tanks can be calculated. I think 233 cu. in. is a gallon so doing a few measurments and doing the math gives you the pertinent poop. (No pun intended)

As to the coach number, anytime you get into places not ordinarily seen such as where the refrigerator is installed you are apt to see the number of the coach written on various pieces of the cabinetry. I have the owner's handbook for mine, so I know it is #346, but when I have stuck my nose in places usually unseen I see that number written with a Sharpie on various components.

As to getting information, if Troy or Bill can't help you with questions post them here. Somebody will be able to answer the question. It would help to put your coach, length, type (Elegant Lady, Classic, H3, XL, etc.) in the signature line along with something to indicate the engine type since that was near when the Series 60 was being used in place of the 8V92.

I know this is an old post, but just wondering if anyone has manual or instructions for air system in a 1992 H340 Liberty.
I tried Liberty and what I got was "manuals were given to original owner and we don't have copies"
I have the Prevost info but Liberty added more as can be seen in pics. Coach seems to go to "ride height" but
don't have control on any other functions. The switches are labelled right Rear, left rear and front. The console
to the right (level/dump)seems to have no power. With no wiring or manuals it is much harder to troubleshoot.
Any info on location of manuals for the Liberty Conversion of an H340 would be appreciated.
TIA....Tim

Those look like Prevost factory switches, not Liberty, you should be able to trace the wiring to the solenoids in the driver compartment, HTH

[luvrbus]

So you bought it 

[Timkar]

Not yet  Still thinking. Will FB message you. Went down and had another look yesterday...Really need to find some manuals (besides what I downloded from prevost)Thanks for info Niles

Those switches are what Liberty installs and replaces the Prevost "level low" control switches. Typically if the coach switches are used properly you can manually level the coach using the 3 switches or you can use the three position switch set to the auto position and let the system level the coach by itself. If it fails to function usually the issue is related to a failure of one of the coils on the solenoid valve controlled manifold in the compartment beneath the driver, or a very serious problem related to a system that has or has had water in it due to poor maintenance.

If you have questions, ask. The Liberty modifications to the system have been well done and are robust, but like any pneumatic system it is not bullet proof, especially if it has gotten water in it and very few owners do a good job of maintaining their pneumatic systems because they don't understand the aux air compressor as installed can load the system with moisture unless the water trap is serviced.

Thanks Jon...Info appreciated.
