Walt

thank you for posting this thread. I have been battling the dreaded stink for awhile now. I replaced the old ones multiple times. No stink for a few days then it returns. I was putting in the $5 cheap ones. I also pulled

the microphor toilet and sealed the mount plate and put in a new seal. I also did some fixes the toilet needed while i had it out. New hopper seal, flapper arm, etc

Now that i have read your post, i went to Lowes and bought 3 of the Studors. I don’t need 4 as we pulled the washer & dryer and capped the system last summer.

The first 2 installs were easy. Both units under the vanities were easy unscrews and replacements. The one untder the galley sink is another story. CC installed a 4 inch wide by 1/4 inch crossbrace in the back of the sink area. They have the sink plumbing running to the wall and down. The airator rises behind the brace. Needless to say, the Studor will not fit. The old airerator barley screws in. The brace and the side of the bus leave a wee gap. Just enough room for the old style.

i will need to cut a notch out of the brace. In order to try to keep its strength, i will add a 2 inch wide by 1/2 inch wide 10 inch long piece to the brace. I am hoping this will provide stiffness to the brace to make up for the notch. This will be next weekends project.

If it works, i am hoping the stink will finnaly be gone. Thank you for posting about the Studors.

The sensor seals were redesigned years ago, we as a group here haven’t had a leaking sensor issue.

Our first one was “Classy Chassis” but after that I decided it was better to not reveal my mistress’s name.

We will be bringing my mistress with Lady Di and me to Autofest in Lakeland however so she is not a secret.

Thanks for the info tire is a little over a year old. I guess my real question is when a tire goes totally down does that damage it?

I’ve heard that a mistress can be high maintenance.

[Corey]

I’m not saying your mistress is ugly or lacking in some areas, but mine has certain attributes others lust over.

I had to take the inner doors off because it took too long to get my hands all over her private parts. Kind of like she is going commando.

Let’s get this all together…rose pedals on ground while parked, shinny copper pipes to carry water, doors to open to find another door to open, buddy plugs just in case you find a buddy, co mingle of waste water content in one tank, it’s a together thing, mistress on wheels with talking points.

Are we all missing something ?

I am certain there are those who know more about this than I know but the torque wrench is useless considering the power of the air torque wrenches used on larger vehicles. The tire companies have a 250 pound torque capacity and they simply make them as tight as possible.

That is my thought. I do not believe a man torquing a wrench could budge a 250 # air wrench.

When we have our tires changed at the local Michelin dealer, they have the heavy duty wrench set at a very high level and we never separately torque them.

I can be wrong but I believe that is common.

I look forward to other answers.

My first thought was if the coolant was recently serviced there is an air bubble. Then I wondered if the fan is working, and finally and most importantly your first and biggest problem is the shut down device failed and that has to be fixed before you run the generator again.

Some generators have circuit breakers for the cooling fans so check them first. Make sure the fan(s) are running. If all is OK there check for air bubbles and if you feel that is resolved or not the issue consider a stuck thermostat.

Lastly it could be a bad water pump but that would be the last place I would look.

Kit, “o” rings are not equal. Using the correct type will be important to a successful rebuild.

Did you give Jeff a call at ETLC ?

Another option is a pneumatic service shop where they sell hose, valves, as many do cylinder rebuilding.

BTW…good to see you on the site and another Marathon owner.

Hey Marius, You are in luck. I scanned the County Coach manual from my 1990 XL 40 before I sold it. I can email it to you. Private message me with your email address. The CC manual describes operation of the coach and house systems and has some technical information, but it is pretty light on detailed schematics and wiring diagrams. Still, it is over 200 pages and will probably be helpful.

Mine was CC # 60105. Rodger Hang, who posts here occasionally, had one that was about 3 units younger than mine. I believe there is at least one other 1990 CC XL owner on the board.

I loved my 1990 and I hope you enjoy the heck out of yours!

Tank monitors are historically problematic and inaccurate. We have owned 6 Prevost’s from several converters and they all have been a problem. We use a fail-safe visual sight glass on both the holding and fresh water tanks. 100 percent accurate every time!
