    Just swapped my drives in April 2018. They ran 60,000 miles over ten years and had 11/32” tread left. 17/32” when new.

    There are 6 that have not paid, you’re going to lose your slot boys. I’m sending one more reminder, than after 9/15/18 you’re out of luck.

    If law enforcement weighs on of our coaches and it weighs 72,000#, they are going to pull it aside and begin tearing it apart until it looks like the Lincoln Continental in the French Connection.

    I would bet the threads are standard pipe threads. If you can determine the size by measuring the search can be more precise, but just doing a broad search I came up with a site that has a wide selection.

    By unload, I mean that I believe the a/c unit resets due to low voltage and then tries again after 30 seconds or so.

    As I recall the auto start switch is on the dash. So the toggle switch is usually in the monitor position at the control unit. Then you have the option of being able to auto start for low battery voltage or low ac voltage.

    Test the system and verify operation before starting to remove anything.

    It appears this problem is more so on the Motorhome side of Prevost. With all the Entertainers and Star coaches, if they were having tread separation they would be screaming.

    So the fact that they are running weekly and lots of miles, could it be the lack of use on the Motorhome side that is contributing to tire failure?

    Jim,

    I have a Genie HR54 wireless server, 3 CW41 genie mini client receivers and one wireless bridge WVB. All connected to a DTV Winegard Trav’ler and controlled thru my Crestron. The Crestron programming wasn’t cheap but the system works flawlessly. Hope this helps – Ron

    Well I went back to the “firehose” for another drink. I was reading the Prevost manual , found what I needed in the “Marathon” manual;)

    I also can’t wait for Oct. to get here, but like Les, I have read and read manuals and can’t find any instruction to shut down for 2000

    Marathon XL?

    reading Jon’s post ” shut down/turn of A.C. and inverters before turn off battery cut offs?

    Good morning. The coach seems to be back to normal in every respect, without the Surge Guard.

    Will order the Progressive Industries product … it would seem to have a lot of positive feedback and happens to be installed on the coach to the left, and the coach to the right of me.

    Thanks again for the awesome feedback and support.

    Thanks Don, for that valuable post. Changed both of those idler bearings last fall at about $70 each. Will keep your reference for future use.

    June 4, 2018 at 10:53 am in reply to: CoachNet Road Hazard Protection – anyone use it?

    For past couple years we had Coach-Net Premier 24/7 Technical and Roadside assistance and Hazard Protect RV Tire and Wheel Protection.

    This AM – we renewed our Coach-Net Premier 24/7 Technical and Roadside assistance but were declined Hazard Protect RV Tire and wheel Protection due to coach being a 2000.

    Was told that minimum year that qualifies for Hazard Protect is 2003…

    Not sure what the year of the coach has to do with the Tire Hazard Insurance…

    May 31, 2018 at 7:50 pm in reply to: Front window glass replacement on XLV

    I assume Marathon used the 28% tint glass on the eyebrow window – it looks almost black. I tried to log into Prevost parts to get a quote, but no luck. Always get internal server error. I’ll try again tomorrow.

    I have the suction cups and the locking strip tool so I think we are all set except for the glass.
