I just visited Parliament Coach in Clearwater, FL and spoke with Rick, a service manager there. I asked about the radiator/CAC mounting in the Prevosts and how many failures he has seen. He replied that failures are quite rare and vary by design. The CACs with o-ring seals on the ends have held up the best and provided the best consistency of boost pressure.
The mounting of the radiator is somewhat loose so the radiator is just held in position top and bottom and not constrained end to end. So it would seem for those of us that have concerns it would be wise to check out the specifics of the "cartridge" the Prevosts mount their radiators in. I'll see if I can get back down there - it's only a couple miles from us and get a further description. I didn't have time this morning since the toilet needed an overhaul and momma needed to pee.
