My fan is also wired direct to the 110V with no fuse or protection. The reason I know this is I installed a thermostat with it “hot” I knew I would not touch the wires together…. an ole pro like me..surely not. Then a blue flash. I knew I blew a fuse that would take most of a year to find. But it was still hot… installed a thermostat and set it to 80deg and my fan runs amost all the time..

I have seen 210 degrees on my generator,it is rare but it has happened,my thermostat seems to be 180.I have a analog thermometer at the top of the radiator and it has a indicator that will show the peak temperature,usually it is 185 on most days.

Michael, we owned a 2000 Vogue 5000 1S, and while a very good coach compared to most MH’s of the era…..by far and away…not a Prevost. They were built in the Pryor, OK plant. Geo.

Don, will you be putting back the deadening material?

I assume that it has not been replaced before so 20 yrs. is not too bad.

Thanks Truk,

Good tip.Do you know is there was there a specific year range affected or all years with that feature?

This issue was brought up on IRV2 forum:

http://www.irv2.com/forums/f112/fogged-window-repair-252902.html

Several options, depending on where you are located and which window you need fixed.

[Bill]

Removing all the door panels, yes, more than one to get to the handle, and then installing and trouble shooting, putting the door back together, oh and drilling the door bell hole.. and breaks. Did I mention they take breaks? lots of breaks?

[Bill]

I replace my door latch every two years no matter what, I always carry a spare one with me easy to change out, but hard if you do not have one, guys remember that if you can open the drivers side door on the Xll if you can not reach the keys for the ignition the passenger toll window will not open just turn the four way flashers on and power will be at the window switch on the dash or over by the door

Your comment on the I-40 drive from Little Rock to Memphis has me concerned. I am traveling that road on Sunday…. going from Catherines Landing in Hot Springs area to South Memphis to E Z Daze RV park… should I take another route?

I can go South from Hot Springs to Pine Bluff and then to Helena…..cross the river and work my way to the interstate….

If it is as bad as you say… I will do so in a New York minute….

Don’t worry as long as you were able to extend the hose Marathon has built in a second air tank in the rear tank bay. When you extend the hose you hear a rush of air. That is the knife valve opening from that AUX tank. 2 nd tank refilled is only used for hose operation. If you have a malfunction someplace else in the system your 2nd tank could bring in the hose.

. Size around 4-5 gallons. With check valves and auto electric/pneumatic solenoids you’ll have enough to retract the hose.

The pull lever is a by pass to release air pressure from the piston that pushes or pulls the drop down door.

As the electric cord questionI I cannot remember a Glendinnng Cablemaster hose reel malfunction.

It is extremely rare Glendinning made their name developing the power cord reel in the marine industry. That power cord reel is built to live in the harsh world of salt water environment.

In the RV world it’s an easy life.

I have heard stories of problems when both are still connect to land and the bus drives away.

Hint and just my opinion; Before you move the bus the last thing you do is a 360 around the bus…period

Thanks for the clarification …

Dick,

I can not tell you about the compressor in the buses but I know how they (that type of compressor) preform and last in commerical airconditioning applications. Being taken care of, serviced and correctly charged they can last 30 years and more. They are a tank. But if it is filled with moisture and dirt from incorrect charging and not vaccuming down the systems it could fall apart fast. Moral of the story……. Take good care of it and it could last as long as the bus will……
