Happy Birthday PC!
And IMO, the best site on the internet!!
Thanks to Jon and Tom for making PC great! And, all the fellow members and advertisers as well!

The air system is not separated from side to side on the front suspension, that’s why it doesn’t lean. The front only has one ride height valve. If it stays up past normal, that says that either the ride height valve may be leaking at ride height, or the valve that controls the front is bad.
I’m sure Jon will have you an answer shortly.

That is a macerator hose hook up to drain the black tank

That was the first new car after we married.
Our first car when we got married was a 1950 Ford two door sedan.
In between the Ford and the Rambler was a Studebaker Lark.
Times have changed.

George is absolutely correct about the length.
We have found that the places where a 45 foot coach cannot be accommodated are usually the ones we don’t find acceptable such as lack of 50 amp service or unimproved sites and roads. The turn radius might be a slight factor on early 45 foot coaches, but even with that larger radius that we had on our 97 45 foot coach we never had a campground we wanted to go to restrictive.
The reason for lack of tag axles that you see is because the greatest number of coaches are not at the high end of the price range such as some brands other than Prevost, such as Newell, Foretravel, Bluebird, Monaco Signature, etc .

Depending on age and usage cycles (which are relatively few for the valves shown) a renewal may only require a valve body with spool and possibly the return spring. The solenoid operated actuator probably has very fe cycles on it and can be reused. That is the great thing about norgen valves and their modular construction.

It’s a consignment coach likely being sold as is and Marathon certainly wouldn’t let a brake issue go unresolved if it’s a safety concern. An “as is” sale it just that, then you either negotiate the needed repairs with the seller or move on.

One of the two valves near the drive axle….the leak was the body of the valve was leaking very bad….

Dave and Liz: Where do you live? We had Cathie daughter and her HB in the coach Friday night. Second time they stayed in it. Thought it was great.

Brett, it just means that the first XLII chassis was on some H’s, 1/2 yr or so before the XLII came out. Geo.

Getting back to this issue after a couple days, I do have power coming into the receptacle so it has to be a switch or light bulbs. But all four light bulbs going out is highly unlikely.

Let us know how that LI works out for you using your current equipment.

That voltage lost is HUGE.
With no loads in that short period of time I would expect maybe one tenth of a volt or less, not a couple of volts.
If it is not too difficult I would charge the batteries to float. Then I would disconnect them from the house. Disconnect meaning I would either turn off all house master switches, or if there was any doubt disconect the cable to the ground or load.
At least that way I would know if the loss of voltage is related to loads, or is within the battery set.
If the batteries held voltage from the at-rest voltage then I would be done looking at batteries as an issue and I would be investigating the coach. If the batteries lost voltage I would isolate the battery that is the issue just so the supplier knew where the problem was, and then I would have the battery set replaced under warranty. If the battery manufacturer disputed replacing the entire set I would find another supplier.

I have tested the batteries with a 100 amp load tester that I just bought (carquest, CQ-1000T) and use a multimeter for battery voltage and amp testing. I’m not sure how long the inverters run to bulk charge the batteries. The remote does allow me to change the amperage capacity of the batteries and I have that set at 2000 which is the highest available. I did completely charge the batteries, turned the inverters on, shut off every breaker I knew of and the batteries only lost a couple of volts in a 24 hour period and will begin turning the breakers on individually and measure the amps drawn from the batteries. The will be a weekend project. Thanks for the input and if there are other suggestions, they are certainly welcome.
