Leon's LXi Modifications

[Lrcard]

Thank David for the compliments, it makes it a bit easier when you start with a coach that is as it left Fort Valley.

Charlie, the Signal-Stat part number for the marker/clearance lights in LED are 6050 , they are a challenge to install but doable. I used those on the front cap and rear cap only. For the side marker lights I used a surface mount LED with a chrome bezel.

Greg, thank the fridge turned out very well. As for the air system,the factory set up is still intact and operates as it should, S60 compressor, Jun-Air and Thomas compressors. I installed a Extreme Aire, 12 volt Compressor, 3/4HP, 1.5 cfm @ 100 psi, continuous duty up to 150 psi. I'm getting my power supply from the 3 group 31 cranking batteries, power goes through a 50 amp circuit breaker that I installed. Air flows from the Extreme Aire through a filter and water separator, into a 4 gallon storage tank. The Extreme Aire only operates when manually turned on and cuts in at 120psi and shutoff at 150 psi. From the storage tank I ran 2 lines, one to each side of the coach with an air chuck on each side so I can air a tire if needed. There is a second air line that ties into the coach air system that runs through a regulator that is set at 120 psi and then through a check valve so the coach system can't back feed and the regulator only allows 120 psi to enter the coach system. I can however leave the Extreme Aire on all the time, at that point the S60 compressor would never run. I have a switch outside and one inside the coach for the Extreme compressor.

Chuck, the LED rear tail lights came from Susquehanna Motor Sports 610-944-3233, speak with Dave, he is the owner. Third light from the top which looks to be clear is the turn signal and flashes amber, the bottom is the back up which is not LED, Hella calls it a super bright back up, they do not make a LED back up. These lights require some modifications the the engine compartment cover to work, again a bunch of work but doable.

Morey, the 365's are a fantastic upgrade. I did 2 minor modifications to do the 365 tires. First the 10 mounting studs that are from the factory are to short, they need to be driven out and replaced with longer studs so you can get a full nut of threads. The second modification was trimming in inner fender lip, this needs to be done so the fender does not hit the tire when you dump the suspension. it you look at the pic's David posted you will see the trim job I did. It was very easy, used a sabre saw and painted the cut edge with epoxy to seal the fiberglass. I'm running 98lbs in my fronts, ride and handling is great. You also need to use the right part number wheel. I was told by Alcoa that the front wheel used on a Prevost will not work. If you would like the part number I can find it.
