You’ve been known for good sound advice Jon, and I include this to the sound advice column of the ledger. I can’t help but think how poorly my saga could have ended with just a little greater drop off or it being less firm. You say “stay on the road” and I agree that’s the answer.
Hi Andy, I can see the advantage of a lead car but in these tight mountain roads I’m not sure how good that would be. Plus I can hear my wife now “Hey, I thought you said you bought the bus so we could be together”!

There are filters that turn pulse width modulated waveforms back into sine waves. They are commonly used for (very) large motors that are controlled via pulse width modulation. Just search for sine wave filters but most are for large 3 phase motors ($$$).
If you are electronically inclined you can probably come up with a high frequency filter (either an LC or RC network) for the small amperage draw of the fridge.

Think the air leak is coming from either the spring Brake valve or Double shuttle valve. Has anyone ever dealt with either of these?

Just an update. I have good news and bad news. I let the batteries discharge enough so that the auto gen feature was activated and this started the generator and it ran without stopping. After shutting it down, the generator on button worked with several attempts and it has not shut down again. The good news it is working again, but the bad news is I have no idea why using the auto gen button has led everything to work again.

Tom, Do you unplug your block heater before heading down the road? I know it’s not necessary, but is there a downside leaving the block heater plugged in when in cold weather or do you plug/unplug everytime you start up. Also, do you shut off the valve to the engine from the Webasto to isolate it to save on diesel or is that not applicable in our vintage Marathon?

When you do the voltage checks you will learn if the equalizer(s) are functioning. My guess is unless this is a very new problem you are likely OK. A minute or so of checking voltages will tell you a whole lot. BTW, you can do the voltage checks at the equalizer if that is easier.

I have had it happen and I know it is not freon level.
It could be a pressure switch issue, an expansion valve or something else but the easy way to verify freon is to look at the sight glass when the system is running. On OTR equipped coaches the normal status is the red ball will be centered in the lower sight glass on the receiver.

I’ve done the steering wheel lock thing too. One of the first trips out
in the Prevost I was towing my Toyota truck, just had installed shiny
new wheels and new tires. On the way back home someone passed me and was
waving and pointing back at my truck. I stopped at the next available
wide place, I was thinking, what could possibly be wrong, I didn’t see
anything at first and then a faint black power down the left side of the
truck gave it away, The left front tire was into the metal. A few more
miles and I would have been on the rim. This was in the day time, I
don’t what the people saw who pointed it out, but I’m glad they did. The
strange thing is that the right side tire was not damaged.Ken

Mr. Brown……….
I’ll have you know I have all flat screen TVs in my Crestron equipped slide room coach.
What say you now?

Yes sir. I’m staying with the bathtub brew idea!

Ron, That is a great idea and when Tom returns from his trip it is something to discuss.
Right now we have worked hard through word of mouth to help our membership grow and we have seen from the growth rate the bigger we get the faster we grow. I guess we need to consider what you suggest because as our numbers grow we have greater influence which in turn enables us to negotiate more and better programs for our members.
Our growth also means our advertisers who are the ones who make PC possible will benefit greatly from the size of our membership and we owe them our efforts so they can get a better return on their investment in PC.
Thanks for the tip.

XL fenders are rubber and you can abuse them pulling tires and there is no harm. Unless your converter replaced them with fiberglass.
The XLII fenders are fiberglass and they are a PITA to work with when pulling tires and wheels. Another inch of clearance probably wouldn’t have even been noticed in the design or appearance, but it sure would make it a whole lot easier to change wheels.
