I had mine replaced on my 2002 Marathon last year. The model I had is no longer in production. I was told that Dometic was working on a direct replacement, but nothing had been released yet and no plan date. Marathon put on what they use on their new coaches, Coleman They are about 2 inches shorter, and work well.

Darryl,

Your era bus has very little parasitic draw. Turning off your inverters and 12 and 24 switches is all you can do.

Your chassis batteries should hold for weeks if there in good shape. When you fire it back up you should have plenty of juice in your house batteries to boost the chassis if you had too.

Later

Didn’t want to disassemble the valve so I added two drops of Air tool oil in the ports, gently induced air into the end control port. Piston moved freely back and forth. This is the Norgren for lifting the tags which only occasionally gets used. Reinstalled it and all is well, think I might forgo ordering another one and leave it as is. It works and it is a pain in the A_ _ to access.

Thanks for all the input. Will store in the old memory bank for future reference.

Definitely reboot. If this does not work give Marathon a call. They generally are very helpful.

Installed two new wiper blades, Prevost# 800284/800392, $28 ea, supplied by Autex Automotive Devices# ACS 12-22. Old pair lasted 9 yrs.

I also got a 2nd pair, Prevost# 191104, $18ea, supplied by Commercial Vehicle Services. I’m willing to part with this pair for $40, must be picked up locally (N. San Antonio, TX).

I am going to try and clean it myself, the Radiator has no leaks and is in good shape other than flow. Anyone know where to get the gaskets and sealant? seems like something has oozed in at assembly 30 years ago.
