Looking like tonight will be another night to run the webasto. Only issues I saw was some soot from the exhaust pipe.

Will, Turbo boost pegs at 15 lbs which is normal. WW Williams is the MTU dealer now for DD 2strokes. They have all the test equipment and so far mechanics . Also can dyno if necessary. Been suggested that a fuel supply line might be collapsing under suction pressure.

Ya, some bogus salesman talked me into that.
Threw away a perfectly good SmarTire system just to get him off my back.
Honestly, no one should be without one.
It is the best thing on the bus.

Geo. … you’re one of the last guys on this forum who I would expect to have gotten that question from. Nick Fornoro, Sr. was a midget champion from out east, New Jersey I think. His wife made him stop racing and he moved into the flag stand the day after his last race. He flagged lots of east coast midget, sprint, and modified events and eventually became the flagman for the CART series. His son, Nick Fornoro, Jr. (also a race car driver) drove in a few CART races that his Dad flagged.
During a live TV race broadcast that Dad flagged and son drove in one of the three TV guys asked who Nick Fornoro’s (the race car driver’s) father was and another guy in the booth immediately (probably without thinking and with his head somewhere it didn’t belong) started to make nonsense conversation speculating about who Nick’s father was … with NO reference to Nick, Sr. the race’s flagman … then the camera cut to a shot of Nick Fornoro, Sr. in the flagstand with a graphic that read something like “Nick Fornoro, Sr. father of Nick Fornoro, Jr. … driver of car #XX” while the clueless commentator went on speculating who Nick, Jr.’s father was. Shortly you could hear the other two commentators laughing very hard while clueless babbled on (apparently the babbling commentator didn’t look at a monitor) and they quickly cut to a commercial.
When they came back from commerical one of the three TV guys explained the relationship between Nick, Sr. and Jr. I’ve heard since that TV production guys in the trailers were laughing so hard as clueless commentator babbled on that they could hardly do their jobs.
It was a forerunner to Michael Waltrip saying something about a NASCAR race and being immediately corrected by another commentator.

MemberOctober 27, 2016 at 8:26 pm in reply to: Someone kept Lifeline batteries in service 9 yearsChuck,
I want to be sure we’re talking apples to apples. Are you saying Marathon set the internal inverter fans to come on at 96 degree’s? My inverter fans do not come on at 96, I’ve shot them with my IR gun at 105 and they were just coming on. Maybe they changed that in the later models.
The inverter compartment is another matter, those fans are controlled with an adjustable snap disc from Marathon set at 115. I removed the snap disc and put a digital controller in set at 100. I figure if I can stay ahead of the heat for the inverters, that’s a good thing.
I just replaced the rear inverter compartment fan, mounted at the ceiling up high behind the inverters and it was a bitch to get at. Those fans are hard wired to the inverters, so you can’t turn them off with a switch or circuit breaker. Mine started squealing in the garage and I was able to shut it off using my digital controller by just dialing down the temp setting. Otherwise, it would have required removing the inverter bay panels and unplugging the fan at the snap disc.

Per
I have had tag and drive axle seal issues on every Prevost (3) I have had. Usually the same one gives me problems over and over again. On my current 04 H3 it is the curbside tag. been replaced twice can’t get more than a year out of one. Work done at Prevost in Nashville.
I had the thought that possibly the long time of sitting without moving the wheels during certain times of the year may somehow be the culprit. May sit for 2 to 3 mos.

Now you have me scratching my head. I have to look at my monitor to see if a power light is on.
Keeping up with these coaches is getting to be a challenge and when I can’t remember stuff it makes it worse.

Guy French the Vice President called me back from Prevost we are looking into this problem cause of why I will get back to u guys , I am now in the process of replacing the other four calipers and shoes at the ranch so then everything will be new now, I will let you guys know

We just replaced the house batt’s (8), so I figured we bought a couple of bathroom tiles in his new McMansion. Geo.

Your batteries have a lot of life left. But Tom needs the business to pay for the new house, so buy a set anyway.

When I had to change my speedo/odo, I was faced with the same problem.
I was told that the odometer reading had to be set by some special piece of equipment that the dealer would make arrangements for it to be done. He did and it was and that is probably what you will have to inquire about. It seems reasonable to me that the odometer reading is just short of sacred and they wouldn’t want us messing around with it -
We too stayed at Tunnel Mountain in Banff. It will be fine for your rig. There is one caveat, the water pressure where you hook up your hose is too high, it made the head on our reverse osmosis tank leak. The fix is to turn the spigot on just a little bit.

Jon,
Do you happen to have any more details about how they are set up? Why would they need to invert incoming AC power into outgoing AC power?
Also, how do you quote a post?

I don’t know Tom….I bet Nancy would love a triple slide “H” with superslides in the bedroom. I know we sure like ours….
