Welcome to the Marathon family Tim and Cindy. I love your coach, as know you will as well. Now as they say sit back and enjoy the ride.

The manufacturer replaced my motor at no cost…

Could be a number of things Skippy, fuel pump, nozzle, coil, temp sensors, photo cell or brain box, you’ll have to trouble shoot. When was the last time it was serviced? If it was serviced maybe something was done wrong. Your’s should be 24v and I have a new brain box if you want to use to trouble shoot. If you can’t work on it yourself, best bet is find a place with the test box that can point to the problem.

Most all of us who have bought preowned coaches have been in your situation Dicky. What seems to be the perfect coach gets bought before you get the chance to jump. But I think most would agree that there will be another coach out there that comes along. And once you get it you’ll love it more than the one you missed out on. Happened to me and I ended up with a coach I like a lot more. Just don’t let the bus bug get the best of you and settle for a coach. There are some cream puffs that come on the market every few months.

When I travel in my bus I use A LOT of data. And I assure you it’s not from poking my finger at a little phone. It’s from staying in touch with clients with large emails, keeping up to the minute on my investments by streaming quotes during the stock market trading hours, and researching future investments. All of which requires me to stay connected several hours a day. That’s how I “spend as much money as being discussed here.”

Jon, I think you are one of the fortunate ones in that what you do on your computer for several hours isn’t heavy on data usage. I’m glad it’s not, or else we wouldn’t have this great forum.

So I feel your pain Karl. I would have signed up in a minute to be able to use data for $80/month. And I would not be happy being slapped with an overage charge like that without warning. Even AT&T gives me fair warning when I go over my data allotment.

Before you throw out a prefectlhy good compressor why don’t you monitor your air pressure?

Usually if a compressor runs often and long it is because it is trying to replace air that has leaked. Your coach is at the age when you will either be spending quality time with it fixing leaks, or you will be paying serious money to someone who will find the leaks for you. That is a painful, slow, complicated process.

Can you tell me what lights are illuminated on the electronic control panel? It could be just a reset of the low voltage light to get the burner going again.

[Corey]

thanks very much

[Corey]

Thanks guys for your comments! It took quite some time, busted knuckles and a little bit of money to get it looking good.

I’m relieved. We can all stand down now. I’m confident Jeff will get them pointed in the right direction before he sends them on their way.

[Corey]

I wouldn’t want to screw up Jeff’s chances of collecting, but if possible Jeff should get some photos of that sticker, and every time someone gets their oil changed he should provide them with a copy of the sticker and Ole Ben’s home address or email address.

I’ll bet everyone would be willing to send the guy a note with the sticker enclosed.

That guy needs to get a reminder of his actions every time possible until he pays.

[Corey]

Glad that’s going to work out for you Buddy. Just tryin’ to help.

Steve,

I had a couple stains here and there. Nothing major. The stuff I use cut it and cleaned it up. Didn’t add any more swirl marks. All done by hand.
basically you need two of everything to handle a 45′ coach. Need to get more of everything to finish the drivers side.

I don’t think our coach has ever been “professionally” polished so there are swirls, scratches, etc. This cleaned those making them less noticeable, but they are still there. I think a professional polish would get the swirls out. The scratches, probably not.

[Corey]

Glad you get to be on the receiving end once in a while, Bob. You went out of your way to help me with parts I could not find with I was in bind, not to mention the knowledge you have shared!

Thanks Bill will see you in a few days.
