Art, you might have already figured that you must have a 20 ton bottled jack or very heavy duty jack stand on each side of the coach.

Thanks guys… I had an 07 Wrangler and had no problem installing the M & G.. 9 model years later they seem to have stuffed more crap in that space.

There is one air admittance valve on my coach i have not found. It is the one tied to the shower drain. Does anyone have a vintage Xl from country coach? If so, is the air admittance behind & near the soap holder insert in the shower? Or is it near the cubby next to the shower?
I’m trying to find its location before i tear into stuff.

D Seal, or Bulb Seal is the same thing my Eagle has.
Will have to do some more checking, didn’know HWH made a slide with an air seal.thanks again to all for info.

Example… A 2003 Marathon H, like others, have HWH hydraulic slides and the air seal. To replace the air seal, the entire slide has to be removed, not to mention the possibility of a hydraulic leak or problem. A Featherlite of the same year also has the HWH hydraulic slides, but may not have the air seal. Featherlite owners can verify that.
So do your homework to determine what you’re comfortable with.

I am not sure there have been issues with Prevost supplying the wrong air bags on H model coaches. It has been an issue with the X chassis and that was a problem.
Tim can and should verify his air bag numbers, but if they are the correct ones it is a weight issue. Assuming it is a weight issue and there is no acceptable larger diameter replacement the only option is to do as Tom and I suggested.
If the air bags in the front can be replaced with larger diameter air bags the problem is easily resolved but changing air bags is not something easily done because it brings about other issues such as clearance problems. It is not something to be pursued without getting Prevost engineering involved.
The air bag diameter is the critical value because even a 1″ increase in effective diameter can lift a lot more weight at the same pressure. But if that is not possible then the answer is to get weight off the front axle and by lifting the tag you have that effect. By trying to raise the front by keeping the air pressure in the aux system at max you increase the lifting ability. There are no other options.

I have the Tecma Silence Plus in my Eagle and it works great. I did just have to put a new pump on, takes about 45 minutes.But my toilet/pump is 10 years old.

Jack definitely knows what he is talking about. If I recall as part of the process he investigated and found the Watchdog does not keep the generator running until the batteries are in float, but uses timing to shut it down. That was a significant piece of knowledge because by putting the resistor in the “sense” line to the Watchdog he found it starts the generator at a higher battery voltage which increases battery life, but has no impact on shut down.

Jon can’t take photos with his phone. When he tried to take a selfie, the camera lense shattered and he is too cheap to buy a new phone.

Al, I just think Marathon knew that you did not have any friends. That way you have to take it back to Marathon for service, since you have no buddys to hep y’all to fix stuff therefore,no need for a buddy plug. Jon, you can take a break since I am picking on BA today. See ya at Crab Fest at the end of the week and you can get even.

Thanks all,
Yes, we have the dreaded Zip-Dee air/electric awning. So I guess the Thomas compressor is for that. The awning does work, at least right now. I do have a little experince helping others with thier Zipp-Dee so I am not totaly in the dark on how it works or doesn’t work.
Jon, we will be at Lakeland in Feb., so I would like to see your setup for dealing with moisture.

If it does have a air zip dee awning it will have its own air compressor and air tank for awning and that’s all it’s for the awning
