  Marathon slide

  Posted by Marvin on January 18, 2020 at 6:14 pm

  On 2003 what brand of slide did Marathon use for an XLII? Are they problematic? Thanks

  If it’s a double slide XLII 45 foot coach it’s Prevost slides.

  If it’s a single slide in a 40 foot coach it’s a HWH in that era.

  Prevost slides are the way to go.

  If it’s HWH as Bernie pointed out, the slide will be hydraulic and not electric like Prevost.

  Added complexity on a Prevost Marathon, hydraulic as well as the air bladder slide seal. At least Vantare had wipe seals on their HWH slides.

  That’d be a hoot…. we have bus #827!
