If you want the real story, have your wife talk to Tom’s wife. After she saw Al’s coach in Lakeland and then lived next to him all winter she wants slides.

Tom has tried to bribe her with a new sofa, a new cabinet and a new Jeep, but in my world they don’t come close to slides.

Brett, If your in market for a “H” in $200 to $250 have you looked at my other “H” listed for sale by current owner on this forum. Marathon #591.

The list of upgrades is pages and pages long, engine valve service, 365 tires,roof coat,TV’s, satillite,floors,LED’s, headlights,refrig,new laundry dryer, engine radiator for example.

AL

[Brett]

Al I have not, where and which one is it?

Al, I found it and just sent you an email.

[Brett]

Brett, I can tell you, you will not find a better coach than this H that AL had previously owned. I have not known AL that long, but I can tell you no one takes any better care of their coach than AL does. All the upgrades he made to the coach are top notch. If you have not seen the pic’s of the roof coating that he had put on this coach you should ask to see them. It was done the right way and not cheap. If an H will work this is one you should look very hard at. Just my honest opinion.

Bill, I did see the pics on here of it and yes it does look nice. Even my wife likes it…lol I emailed about it and am waiting on some documents.

We really do like what we see so far. Cruiseairs scare me a little I guess becasue I no nothing about them and here they are expensive to repair.. Beyond that all looks good on it.

Brett,

We have CruiseAirs on our coach and love them. Unlike roof ACs, they can be recharged, and having separate condensers and evaporators, they are super quiet. We can literally not hear the fan in our bedroom when we go to bed. We had one condenser unit replaced, and the cost was around $3,500 as installed by Marathon Texas. More expensive than roof AC for sure, but we have been able to recharge the other three so far. Had 115 degrees in Las Vegas last month, and the coach stayed cool–our bedroom is kept at 69 degrees. I’ve heard complaints from some coach owners with roof ACs about the ACs not keeping the coach cool, that has not been a problem with ours. I’ve seen a list of what Al has done to his previous coach, and you will have a hard time finding a coach in better shape.

Per, funny you would say Las Vegas..We were in Vegas all of May and sat through the same thing. With three roof air’s on my Eagle I have zero issue staying cool and only ran two most of the time. But I have done a bunch to make this coach more energy efficient. We had some friends over and it was 109 outside, I had the living set at 74 and the AC would shut off becasue the interior temp was reached. Our friends could not believe that with one AC running and 109 deg outside we could not only reach 74 degree we could maintain it to the point the AC would shut down. As for bedroom, I can turn that into a meat locker….lol so set up right roof AC’s can work very well.

But as stated lack of knowledge on the cruiseairs are my only real concern. It appears that this particular H has had all new cruiseair control boxes installed as well as some other AC system work done at Marathon, so maybe that would last a while…lol

We shall see. A few things have to happen to get the stars aligned, but we like what we see. We also like the twin slide XLII Jeff has at ETLC, but conversations seem to be having a tough time, so I don’t know if that will ever actually have a chance, but it aint for lack of my trying.

We had cruise air on our Wanderlodge and they worked great! We have roof air now and it works, but even though it is ducted it still blows cold air ON me so I’m cold with it on and hot with it off. The cruise air did its job without being so obvious. They were quieter as well.

What does that statement mean?

[Andy]

Tom, it only means that Jeff and I are having a hard time getting together (conversation wise), but we are trying…lol Life keeps us pretty busy, but I did get some very good info from him today.

Certainly nothing bad meant at all if you took it that way. It was meant to be humerous.
