Prevost coach's

[luvrbus]

A deciding factor on CAT leaving the on highway market was truck manufactures decided to do in house engines the 3406-C-15 has been around for 50 years it set the gold standard for truck engines running a million miles back in the 70's,Cummins and Detroit played catch up for 20 years,they were never good on fuel milage but when called on to work they were head of the class.You have to give CAT credit if they made it 50 years ago the dealers with truck shop will service it they didn't tell you that you are on your own

I still have the same question any one have any knowledge on the Prevost in LakeHavasu AZ that has had a repower with the Cat C-10 engine. The coach is thirteen hundred miles from me so taking a quick look myself isn't probably going to happen. I wouldn't have a problem to pay someone or a shop to look at the coach. Thanks again for all the post so far.

Hello,
Newbie here so hello to all!
I have a 1980 LeMirage 35ft unit with a Royal Coach interior. It was not the original coach interior but a remake somewhere around 10-12 years old. The original is unknown except it was a Michigan Football Fan party suite. Later was remodeled to the Royal layout. I am the 3rd owner and have upgraded carpet, upholstery and leather driving seats. Removed carpet fur from the bedroom walls and painted with redesigned bed layout.

Welcome to the very small fraternity of 1980 Prevost owners. Fred is the President and I am the only other guy. I wanted to be Vice President but Fred says I don't count because my bus is only 35 feet long and does not have enough tires. Open that outside door under the driver seat and learn that panel. It looks scary at first but the schematic is well laid out. It will be the source, and solution for some of your "bus stoppin'" issues. I have grown to actually like it because because it is wires and relays. No "electronic" stuff us newbie guys will ever solve. Kind of like working on a big lawn mower....
You have found a Beautiful coach and I hope to see it in person some time.
Best regards,
Ted

Hello Rick and hey welcome to the forum!!!

How about doing a private message to me and give me your email address?

I can then send you a download link to all my bus manuals that I digitally scanned and we can do group email's with Ted.

What engine do you have in your bus?
