    It sounds like the way your Bus is wired, your Generator output runs through your inverters?

    The Techlink on your TV’s is showing you the house 12 and 24 volt systems which is where it should be .

    The LCD screen is your Prevost Pro Driver which is showing your chassis battery voltage.

    Did anyone do an orientation with you when you bought it?

    Do you have the Prevost book and Marathon books?

    Welcome to the Marathon Club.

    When will the sun shine on a dogs ass. When will the cows come home.

    I don’t see it. The years mentioned 2000 and 2008 were completely different than today. People were buying things with a signature and a lie or overstated income and inflated home values.

    The credit market has turned into a full doc world. I’m pretty involved with bus sales and yes some do need help to buy but generally new bus sales are all cash deals with people utilizing tax advantages and accelerated depreciation and those that don’t pay cash are solid and credit worthy.

    Also the converters are well aware of the windfall that is happening right now and are I think prepared for a rainy day. Back in pre 2008 Marathon was building 50 on average per year and one year did 84. They are at 22 right now. Labor demand will not allow converters to grow without substantial costs. The skilled labor market has left the building.

    The 250k and below market is one of the most sought after there is. I don’t see it coming down but what I do see is fly by nights patching 20 and 25 year old buses together and selling crap to people who just don’t have the experience to make a justified purchase without help and more importantly luck. I don’t care how good an inspector is you need information on where it’s been for most of it’s life and that is hard to find so luck comes into play.

    Some are shaking their heads right now but anyone who’s been around equipment long enough knows what I mean.

    Any property investor will tell you it’s impossible to predict when a market will go low or high so don’t worry about it.

    Buying a depreciating asset is not a smart financial move anyway. We like most do it because we like it.

    Dick, This may be an easy temporary solution to monitor your water use. I put one after the pump in my plastic coach. Worked good.

    Search DAE AS200U on Amazon

    Just had this problem in Florida. Tire tech came out removed core, without jacking up the axle. Jammed in a new core. Got home (Missouri) and it was leaking again. Local road service came out, jacked the axle, let the air out, pulled the core. It was bend. Replaced it and all is good.

    I suspect the fuse issue is unrelated to any hose blockage, but it still will not hurt to keep the hose clean.

    I remove the hose and back flush it with water just to try to insure the hose and end fitting is free of debris.

    Chuck, No its Delta and looks like it may be the same ends as yours. I searched a bunch of faucet brands by image and this was the only one i found that looked the same. I will send a link to your email so you can look at it. Jeff

    It is also getting more difficult to find non-bio diesel 🙁

    Know bio-diesel cannot be good for our gensets or webasto burners either… just like ethanol is not good for our cars, lawn mowers, etc.
