The reply blue color is too dark for the type in it to see unless you use a TV size screen

Before or after the fuel card discount?! With the fuel card you would have saved about 0.60/gallon off the advertised T/A price! Just used it 2 days ago and saved $610 on 104 gallon.
I looked it up on the app and it shows T/A at 3.169. Buckee’s looks like it was $2.99! Good deal!

Bill, yours looks just like mine. Like I said above, go to the second bay on the other side and look on the back wall. You should find an access panel to get to the fan on the back side of the the radiator.

Maybe in attempt to push us all into electric vehicles some wizard determined to not only create a shortage of fuel, increased prices for fuel, but also to insure our engines fail prematurely by making it difficult to do routine maintenance.
I cannot wait for California to get all the electric vehicles they want. There will not be enough electric left after charging those vehicle batteries to charge a cell phone.

Talking about the dark side, I went SO far back I’m hiding in the corner!
I downsized to a Class-B Pleasure Way Plateau FL, 22’9″ (2021.5). I will miss the Las Vegas Motorcoach Resort and Mountain Falls in Lake Toxaway, NC, etc. I was hoping to make it up to Hearthside but never made it.
After having two large coaches over a 14 yr. period, I will be able to go to places that I couldn’t fit before.
(2015 Prevost Liberty Coach, 45 ft., 4 slides, 1.5 baths)
(2008 Monaco Dynasty, 42 ft., 4 slides, 1 split bath)
If I were to consider a large coach again, it will be a Prevost.
I’ll stay in the shadows, I don’t want to get run over by you BIG guys!
Safe travels,

I have had my Ikon since the 28th of July and have 15,650 miles on it already. It had 240 on it when new. Other than the fact that it rides a bit more solid in the front, it tracks better in the wind, gets 2+ mpg better, and goes up the same hills between 15 and 25 mph faster than any of my 3 Prevosts ever did.
There is somewhat less storage and the only real bitch is it takes about 2 football fields to turn around (not really, just a fair bit more). Another plus is I can actually see out of my mirrors as they don’t shake constantly like the Crapco mirrors do. Oh yeah…I can’t go to certain rv resorts since it isn’t a class A..mainly places like Hearthside Grove, LVM, Polson etc. Snobs all….!
Is it perfect? No, but it isn’t bad either. Who know, we may wind up with something else later, but for now I wanted to give this a try. It sure is less expensive…$2900 for insurance compared to $16,000 for my 2016 Liberty. And I would have to pay almost 4 times as much to buy a new Liberty today as I paid for this. I know the Liberty isn’t worth that much more.

The only generator I know of that requires that level of service is a Onan.
I had a 10K Onan many moons ago in a Class A that I got totally taken on. After a 2500 hour service and a couple grand it was never right again. Loped constantly and would shut down in heat.
You don’t have to do anything but service at 150 hours , carry a spare electric fuel pump from Napa 1200 and a spare belt. I think the campfire BS gets pretty rich when you tell someone our generators last as long as they do.
Folks this is a Kohler 20k with a Yanmar engine. I have a 20k Powertec now that Marathon went to for tier 4 emissions, we’ll see.
This is one of the reasons I dog Liberty for going to a 12.5K Onan in new coaches. People just don’t know.

It’s my understanding that Jeff Rowe holds the XL windshield replacement record at 13 minutes. I can’t remember if that was a single windshield install or old one out and new one in.
Is that quote for windshield replacement from Prevost Houston?

Bill, I don’t recall getting that order, so you must have paid a premium.
