Congrads Larry and Diane….never saw that one coming.

On my Webasto system there are three sources of noise. Inside is the noise of the fans at the heat exchangers. I suspect you can rule anything associated with them out.
Outside I have the Webasto itself which will have fan and fuel pump noise. Additionally if Marathon set the Webasto up as Liberty did you will have some type of coolant circulating pump. The first step I would take is to let your ears lead you to the source of the noise you feel is different or louder than normal.
Once you have isolated what part of the outside components is making the new noise you can determine your next step. BTW changes in the noise level or tone of components is usually an early indicator that something is starting to fail so it is good that you noticed it and can deal with service or repairs on your terms instead of having to react.

Jon, I’d worry about anyone who is listening to me for expertise.
Gil, I’m afraid you’re ahead of me on these issues. I will work to get more informed and weigh in after a bit more study. Thank you for your input!

Jon & Tom…
Don’t a lot of Liberty’s have gel batteries… how do they do and how do they compare to the AGMs?

More questions… Hopefully related.
As I said I put all new batteries in today. Took care of the extra BAL light. Still have the red battery light. Also still showing 29v on the battery gauge. This does not fluctuate when driving.
Another odd thing happening.my buddy thinks it is tied to the power issue, as it applies to the DDEC computer. From time to time the orange check engine and the red stop engine light will come on together. Usually within a few seconds they will go off. A couple of times, the engine shut down. All gauges are good. Seems like the turbo doesn’t want to spool up when these lights are on. Could this be a power issue affecting the DDEC?

I am sure David will have A LOT of Prevost memories. The initial memories at the start of this post are the type that I am sure David and his family will continue to create with their new Prevost. I am sure other people have those type of memory creations on there bucket list. Peter has Prevost service spot on. With the membership of this site and the shared knowledge and experience it seems to me that the Prevost Brand has gotten to be better understood. I have been on here for over a year and learned a lot. I relate to the comments about Prevost owners getting feedback from other plastic coach owners about wow factor of owning a Prevost in comparison to plastic coach. When you get to understand it, it might be a little more but the difference in the whole experience is well worth the minimal increase in cost. A 10 year old Prevost is worth more than a 2 year height end plastic.
As for members who can only offer negative comments, input, and feedback. That is part of what makes this site what it has become. The principals allow all comments (within reason) and the membership very quickly learns what the content of the contributor is most likely going to be.
WHERE’S TOM, I have not seen much on his new coach.

Tom,
Well designed buses don’t need no stinkin’ slides, do they? It sounded like you needed a little support.

To all those who would consider an ultrasonic leak detector:
They are great devices. You can hear air leaks that you cannot hear with a stethoscope or may not even be able to find with soapy water. If you buy one with a “noise” generator you can even find where the gaskets in your entry door and bay doors are leaking. You can hear switches and relays starting to go bad by listening to the sound of the electric arc as contacts are made and broken.
But……(you knew this was coming)……….the one place they would be very valuable they fail to function. That is any holes or leaks in the rubber of the air bag due to aging or a pin hole will not be detected. You have to relay on the leak being in a spot where soapy water will work or you need to pressurize it and look for a pressure drop or air bubbles in Hector’s Texas bubbler.
Another one to consider….

The only Prouds rally we went to was the Balloon Festival, 2002. We had a great time, and if memory serves correct,there were close,to 150 busses.
Here are a couple of possible ideas/venues
1) Campbell County, Wyoming-Camplex, Gillette, Wyoming where there are 1700 50/30 amp full hookup up sites. WBCCI-Airstream International was there in 2010, and we will be there again 2014-this July. Many RV organizations have used the Camplex that “coal money” built
2) The Agri-Center, Perry, Georgia. There are several hundred hookup sites there. Once again WBCCI-Airstream International Rally was there in 2007. It’s also popular with FMCA
3). Now, let’s hear the groan, “dry camping” ;utilizing the full capabilities of our coaches. Location would have to be a “hard surface” so no one sinks into the mud if it rains-The old base in Moultrie Ga comes to mind. We lug around hundreds of gallons of water and a massive generator, why not “use” them!!!

I replaced mine this last year with an LG. side by side doors with a freezer below. Get a counter depth style. I got stainless steel and it looks fine. Worried about putting some laminate on it, but just went with the stainless.
Yes, you have to take out the passenger side front window. My shop broke mine getting it out, so they had to replace it.
Take a look at the thread under renovations. There’s a whole section about this topic.

Davy,
How old are the batteries?

In some states where sales tax is collected you might need a bill of sale or some proof of the purchase price.

Corey and George
If you don’t mind me asking, what was your previous coach?
Glad it sold quickly!
Safe travels,
Mark
