It does take a little pressure to push the fuel through the filters, engine and into the return line. But if it works that would take up very little space. The air would have to come from the aux compressor pressurizing the accessory tank.

AutoZone or similar now have a pretty decent supply of LEDs. I needed the same for my entry light. No problem, hanging on the shelf with a pretty wide selection.

Thanks but I dont think that one is a Prevost conversion. Also Cat powered which my research has me scared of Cats. Im thinking whatever I end up with it will have a D60 or a Cummins and Allison tranny.

I have had an opportunity to ride with folks who had engine scanners and other data not ordinarily displayed. What I learned, but did not expect, was while having access to the information was fantastic people dwelled on it to the point where it became a distraction.
Most of our coaches have good basic gauges, such as oil pressure, coolant temp, volts, etc. Backing those instruments we have warning lights and in some cases audible alarms.
When I found myself scanning information that I never had available in the previous 28 years I realized my attention was not on the road. More often I was drifting a little left or right instead of being in the middle of my lane. At that point, other than a scan of the gauges I went back to driving. The Pressure Pro I have only displays pressures and temps when I push a button or two, or when something is out of range with an audible and visible alert.
My point is I know that information is valuable, but not if we begin to spend excess time worrying about a one or two pound pressure deviation or a degree or two coolant temp change or any other information that takes us from our primary responsibility.
What drove this point home was a lesson I learned about 40 years ago when I flew a really shitty instrument approach, and instead of flying the plane I was fixated on watching ice accumulate on the airframe. It was a humbling experience learning how taking my attention away from the primary task was potentially very dangerous.

I bought my ’88 in ’99 for something like $200,000 (11 years old) and the sticker was around $800,000. The customer didn’t pay that much but that’s a pretty steep cut in 10 years.

Might have missed it but did Prevost install the bags in October? If so, they will cover repairs at no charge on warranty. Or that’s what they did on one of my air valves a few years back. Had all replaced and one failed. Failed about 6 months after having work done.

Thanks Mark. I thought Fast Roger had a Liberty now. No, after our experience with our 2002 XLII Marathon back in 2002-03 with that coach’s panel issue way back then, we won’t settle for anything other than no see-um Rvets completed by someone else’s ownership prior to whatever we buy. Not dealing with. It’s a bit shameful we see brand new display coaches which have loose panels. Just shocking, if you ask us

The Liberty rose petal option became available when we Liberty owners wanted to prove our s**t did not stink.
Apparently the effort fell short.

I was also notified that I won a $50 Amazon card and will receive an email soon about the card.
Thanks PC!

There are worse places to be stuck, for sure.
So far, I’m thinking getting towed to Medford is the smartest thing.
Maybe that means laying low for a day and watching the Seahawks beat the Raiders.

Last I heard the seals were $2000 plus, and labor ranged somewhere between 4 and 8 man hours depending on who does the replacement.

Yes Sir, that’s what 60 psi of air can do to your ankle.
I can only recall 2 cases of hose replacement and in both cases it was failure of owners to follow sequence procedure hose to storage.
So it functions correctly replace the gasket inside the hose end cap. Carry spares of both pieces at the end of hose. Sealing acts both ways. Both parts are plastic and do have a shelf life on pins and “C” clamp grip.
If you see a limp hose ( get your mind out of the gutter ) tighten your clamps, check gasket in place and clean seal.
Don’t forget to carry spares, last thing…. I’am sure another Marathon owner has mentioned the double click when lifting the drop door ?
