There is a thread on the Prevost Community Forum (prevostcommunity.com, General Discussions, "Beware - 365 Tread Separation") regarding 365 tires.  Several have been able to pull about 12 inches of side wall away from the tread.

The picture on the thread shows grabbing the de-coupling grove and pulling out.  2014 and 2015 dated tires.

We are on the road from Rancho Jurupa Ca. to Moab Utah. The infamous Baker Grade west of Las Vegas brought us down to 15 mph 1st gear to keep engine temps under control. The ambient temp that day was 100+The rest of the trip has seen the engine run 190-200 degrees, but any increase in elevation brings us to 2nd gear to manage heat. 

The radiator "looked" clean to me before we started the trip. In Cedar City Utah we had a truck shop steam the radiator, and saw some evidence of dirt in the fins. The cooling did not improve. Today, a fellow guru asked for photos of 8V92 radiator fans. I thought I would send a photo, as no two Newells are alike. Imagine my surprise when I opened the engine bay and saw a totally dirty radiator. Photo attached.  I watched the truck shop steam the radiator, but looking back on the cleaning yesterday, the shop made sure the radiator had flow through it from back to front  as they steam cleaned, but never checked their work in the engine side of the radiator when they were done. Neither did I. Also, I now believe they did not use steam, just hot water. Not ever using a steam cleaner, i did not know what to look for, but I saw no steam, just water. 

Tomorrow I will locate another shop. We are now in the Moab Utah area. I am certain we will be running a lot cooler, thanks to the gurus.

Is anyone willing to send me a picture of their 8V92 Newell fan?  Mine broke off when the a/c mount cracked.  I cannot seem to locate one and the one the repair facility put on really runs hot now.

I’m thinking about this park for spring break in March, looks like a decent park, several long and pull through sites; any feedback from anyone who’s stayed here?

My awning will not extend.  Unhooked wires at the switch and still no action.  Threw the awning breaker, waited 30 seconds and no change.  A while later the awning was fully extended.   So, motor works!  I had to hand crank it back in.  I suspect there is something going on with the wind sensor.  Does anyone have any ideas in this??
My coach is #646, an 03.  Thanks for any help!!

Anyone know who made the motorized sunscreens for the windsheild and front driver and passenger windows?
How do you change the set points?

hi all,  forest is here and we are working on his coach.  then i walked to the drivers side of mine and saw both slides had creeped out.  the bedroom one about an inch because the pins were down.  the salon slide about 3 inches because the pins were not engaged and the slide seal has rolled completely out in places.  

and the 2 inch trim piece below the slide on one piece has slid up and needs moved down and riveted.  

the seal is the original and has the paint from original done so it is about 18 years old.  so am thinking i probably should just put a new one in.  

newell says you can get it back in with some work but it will not be glued in anymore.  i would rather fix it right in the comforts of my shop than on the road somewhere.  

looks like it is time to make some slide support mechanisms to take the slide out.  

always something.

Georgia and I would like to wish all of our Newell friends a wonderful 4th of July. We are truly blessed to live in a country where we are able to travel and enjoy the many wonders the United States has to offer.

Our liberties and freedom came at a stiff price to those forward thinking men and women who decided that we could thrive under a new form of government and were willing to bet their lives on it back in 1776.
