Melissa,
The beeping sound is probably your shore power alarm letting you know the 50 amp to the bus has been disconnected. On your front panel right of the dash you should see a green button flashing on and off. Press it in and the beeping should stop.
Let us know if that did it.
Later

We need a lot more information. What type and age of conversion……..Marathon, Liberty, Vantare, etc? Year”
Then we need to know conditions. If you are in the north and freezing is an issue or if the coach is OK without power?
Don’t do it yet, but do you know how to start a generator? Shut the entire coach down if necessary?
How long has the power been off and can you read the gauges to tell us your battery voltages?
-
That would probably be OK located right at the compressor.

Hey Jon, just wrap the two LifeLines in a couple pair of Tom’s depends and that should insulate them pretty well !!!!!!!

It sounds like a stacker is the ticket with all your different toys. Nothing universal for flat towing and it sounds like most of your stuff couldn’t be flat towed anyway. I use a stacker to haul a race car and golf cart and toad if I’m combining racing and traveling elsewhere. If we’re not racing and just want a vehicle along, we flat tow a Dodge 4×4 pick up. You’re pretty limited to what you can flat tow. Geo.

Tom….you are so, so, so correct about shows…you are preaching to the choir. I was a little country RV dealer and have worked alot of shows. If I had a nickel for every time I heard: “I’m planning to retire in ___ years and we want to start shopping for our RV”, I’d have a much newer coach.
Anyway, I’ve signed in for dealer day…should be a little more peaceful. ty

We finished up the new acrylic face today for the AV cabinet in bedroom, will get pictures up later.
Bottom line all that crap back there put off WAAAAY to much heat, it was rediculous, and it was drawing lots of power with all the wall warts Marathon used to power the switchers and other stuff, and it was a total rats nest of wires.
So far today, we also got the little cooling intake fan working again. I will mount some exhaust fans to help circulate the air, but already I have been able to unplug a lot of stuff which will reduce the heat and stop sucking so much power when dry camping which is a good thing!
You can buy or build a small home theatre PC for not much money, I got one off craigslist for $350, I added a $56 Blu Ray burner if I ever want to play any kind of disc, it will output 1080 video via HDMI.
I can now lie in bed and surf the internet too with wireless keyboard and wifi dongle on a usb port.
I believe the future is the internet, I may not even try and get my satellite going. I will load up content I want on a hard drive and distribute that to the TV’s and Stereo.

THANK YOU for the excellent write-up! In what state did you find the valves prior to making the adjustments? How far off were they? Were some still right on?

It did warm up to above zero, so that should count for something…
We won’t be going out with the bus until spring. However, we are going south for a vacation this winter, but since it is way south of Hawaii, the bus can’t get us there. So we will warm up on that trip and use the bus in the summer.

Where in Illinois do you live? If you’re far north, move to Wisconsin and you’ll kill at least two birds with one stone. Wisconsin is concealed carry friendly and we’re also business friendly!

Your right on the dates. May 12th thru the 16th. We signed up while at the fall rally in Gulf Shores. No additional information has been released yet. Nashville should be a blast!

Again,
First,I want to thank every one of you guys for taking your time to give me some input. Second, I want to say, I have been treated very well at Olympia Coach, John has been very professional and answered every question he could answer. He has also got intouch with Prevost and has answered all my chassis questions about what had been done. I don’t want anyone here to think Olympia was a problem for us. I am new to this world and I am sure anything I deemed as a problem not getting the information I wanted was just myself not understanding the drill of acquiring it from Prevost and Liberty. The deal is not done yet but I think we are close. Thank you all again for your help. I know I will need much more as time goes on..
Steve

Dick,
thanks for sharing as they say. We hope to be in Steve’s position in the not-to-distant future so reading about your experience is invaluable.
Steve – good luck with your detective work.
-
Steve, ditto to what Jon says. We have bought our last 2 coaches with no records also. We know just enough of what to look for initially and if that passes muster, then get a serious inspection and zero out.
