due to age on used Prevost, owner can expect Cruise air repairs and they are buried in some conversions. Alkali or salt corrosion on condenser after several years leads to need to replace.  So a 95 or 96, good chance of needing repairs. Are brand new ones available?

I don't know for sure,but parts are easy to come from any home Air Conditioning supply house,Dometic owns it now maybe different now,converters screwed those units up big time,Marathon was the worst at it

Someone on Facebook made the curved condenser for it. Seem to recall around $700

Finally got to try my Gas buddy card. Didn't show any discount at my usual fuel source. On gasoline. Got an invoice via email next morning. 28 cents  per gallon off. Now to try on diesel for truck. Will report when I do it.

I looked into the Gas Buddy card, but it is limited to $75 per transaction and $300 per week.  Not going to get very far fueling a bus.

You cannot drive a bus now with the price of fuel for 300 dollars a day if you cover any miles
