It was a very busy 2nd half of 2011 for ARVS
ARVS finally took a vacation in 2011. Upon returning to work in September, we relocated to the Los Angeles area to take on a bus conversion project. As you might have noticed from our Flickr pictures, this project is currently ongoing and is now at the axle shop as of today. From there it will be going to a welder and then we can finally start putting this coach together.
In the meantime, ARVS attended Prevost Service Training School in Mira Loma, CA from Nov. 7-10, 2011 and is now certified in both Prevost HVAC and Electrical Systems (Multiplex). We also have been fortunate to acquire a new van for our mobile service. We are currently working on a roofing / front end project.
We would like to thank all of our customers for their continued support and look forward to helping new customers, as well, in this new year. Please do not hesitate in calling us with any questions – as you may know, many times we are able to resolve the issue at hand over the phone, at no charge.

Prevost Webinar on Winter Prep – Heating System Maintenance
So I thought I’d post some notes from the recent Prevost Webinar I attended on Nov. 4th. This Webinar covered Winter Preparation – Heating System Maintenance.
The following items were covered in this webinar:
* Battery systems
* Booster cables to jump start
* Engine cranking
* Preheaters
* Coolant
* Pneumatic system issues
The first comment was SAFETY - more critical in winter conditions.
Battery systems – Group 31 (4) (most common) or 8 D
- Ignition & battery switch are one in the same
- Volvo 9700 – separate battery switch to left of ignition switch (more…)
