Well that's a relief :-) wasn't sure the adjustment on the clutch needed to be done. But again I'm familiar with the coach itself, who knows!
Craig, yeah I'm questioning that oil pan sensor as well although I'm not around the coach 2 figure it out yet. She sat  for 3 days and aired down equally all the way around but still had low oil light on and wouldn't continue running after 30 pounds or less. So I aired her up through the air outlet underneath the driver seat  checking oil and oil was almost a gallon down. Added oil But once I aired up in all situations she would continue to run and not shut off so I thought it was a sensor??


In general, the oil light on the dash is connected to oil pressure. When you start it, it should be on. If you have air in the system to engage the engine shut down, the correct starting procedure is to hold the start button until the oil pressure light goes out. Otherwise, the low oil pressure will cause the safety shutdown to kill the engine. Again, your fuel pressure starter cutout is supposed to be working in order to disengage the starter while you are holding the button in waiting for the oil pressure light to go out.

Check your windshield carefully, the leak might be fixable with some black silicone if the rubber has shrunk at the point where the two ends meet. Use a fine straight edge like a razor blade to smooth it to the rubber contour. If the rubber is dry and cracked and is oozing in multiple places, its time for a new molding.

Walter . The leak in the windshield I'm not real concerned about yes it is a split seem at the very top bad location I think but workable with the right waterproofing product. It's the rear curved window in the picture I attached to the last posting but I need to replace. I'm guessing the Luke would have the right info or product once I contact him.
  And thanks Ed ! I did not know that information about the start button , the starter  and the oil and fuel pressure.  I will review that the next time I'm with the bus ,that should be a few weeks. As I'm doing trade shows in my new career position.
   I truly thank everyone of you folks for your encouragement your offerings of knowledge and riding along with me on my trip it really truly made a difference!

Another option on the window might be to replace it with sheet metal if the glass is too pricey.
