I called Hearthside with a similar question last year, especially regarding ownership and older buses, and was told that older buses are acceptable if you provide a picture that shows “pride of ownership”.
FWIW, last year I had interior updates done and purchased new stickers for the door that say “Series 2014”. Few will be able to tell different and all of them are on this board.

I was at a show in KY the other night. Rained like crazy! When it was time to leave, my front curbside wheel had sunk 6-8″. At first I thought my tires were spinning when it wouldn’t move. It was just because it was in a hole. It finally did pull out in reverse.
My bus, and a lot of entertainers, are programmed to start in second gear. It is done this way to keep things from getting thrown around in the bus. Entertainer driving is all about being smooth. If I just press D, I start in 2nd. I can press 1 and start in first.
It may have just been a fluke, but it didn’t want to pull that little hump at all.

No worries there Driver, they have been touting that OTR pretty good lately.
I wonder why one of the OG Liberty owners traded his OTR Liberty for a Legendary.
I guess that OTR didn’t matter to him.

As I said I am not an alignment expert, but because of the posts on another forum I was very concerned about making sure the seering box was centered before the toe in adjustment was done, and then centering the steering wheel as the final step.
I was assured the steering box was in fact centered. What I learned was even though the steering box may be centered it does not mean the steering wheel is centered so after everything is aligned the coach wheels are set at the straight ahead position via the computer, and the steering wheel is disconnected and re-oriented so it is centered.
That made perfect sense as explained and in actual practice my 5 degree to the right steering wheel was not centered and the steering and handling is the best it ever has been.

It has been obvious that protection film has caused many owners a lot of grief. However, most of the trouble could have been avoided it owners had been aware the film is not permanent. If it was replaced every five years, the old film should have come off easily. I don’t know if the converters were ever made aware of that fact by 3M. (3M now has an improved version.)Xpel film has some unique properties and carries a 7-year warranty against defects, but as I understand it won’t ever crack, fade or become difficult to remove. I also understand that Marathon Coach will exclusively install Xpel Ultimste film in the future. This film ‘suposidly’ heals itself to eliminate light scratches so it stays invisible.
My coach originally had the 3M film and obviously it stayed on too long and the coach ended up with an Armor Guard Plexi-glass shield, which IMHO is ugly and makes it very difficult to clean the front of the coach.
My plan is to remove the Armor Guard shield and install Xpel. If I have the coach for five years, the film will be renewed. I’ll probably trade before then, but without that ugly Armor Guard hanging on the nose it will look better.
For those who are planning a film removal, it would be worthwhile checking up on Xpel paint protection film before making a decision on paint protection.

Tony,
The Webesto burner has a Control Unit mounted on the side of the burner. This brain box runs the burner.
It has three plugs in the bottom of it. The largest plug, the “C” plug is the harness to the burner. The middle plug, the “B” plug is th harness to the burner. And the smallest plug, the “A” plug, is the harness to the circulating pump.
If the burner fires and the coolant does not circulate, the control thermostat will open or perhaps the high limit thermostat will open. Once open, most high limit thermostats need to be manually reset. There is a button between the two wire connectors to push.
So one would check the A plug for power to the pump. If okay, then is the pump moving coolant through the hose? And, is any isolating valves turned off?
Hope this helps some. All the best sorting it out.

My guess, Dave sounds like it’s electrical somehow. Have you killed main switches back by engine and see if no voltage is getting to controls after airing up.? Mine will sink in back after about a week if sitting in barn and this is after spending several thousand at Prevost replacing 5 way, 3 way, valves, fittings and who knows what else. Of course Prevost service is the only place I would take it to on air issues unless you know somebody that is familiar with systems.

You may want to see if it has a steering wheel lock or not. If it does, you may have to play around disconnecting the battery when you want to tow. There could also be other things that you have to do as well.
GM put a lock in the new Tahoes and Yukons that added some issues when towing those, and made disconnecting the battery one of the steps necessary to tow them.
