If anyone wants glass replacement or tires during this time please let me know so I can make sure my tire guys/glass guys are available……

PC is not a chapter of FMCA.

A long time back there was a discussion about becoming a chapter and the concensus was no.

Some members do not want to belong to FMCA and one of the requirements FMCA has is the chapter members have to be FMCA members.

There is no issue with all PC members who belong to FMCA agreeing to go to the FMCA convention as a number of us did a couple of years ago when we met at Indy.

Tony,

My Marathon is 6 years newer than yours and may not function the same. Do you have SMX controls for your HVAC? With the12v heat switch on at the panel, do the heat exchangers come on and blow air in the coach when you run up the thermostats?

I have two kick heaters, one in the galley and one in the bathroom. The bathroom heater has a button in the bath labled heater and with that button on, the kick heater itself has a thermostat that needs rotated for heat based on temperature.

My galley kick heater has shared control through the SMX panel. With the 110v heat button on at the panel, I double press the heat button and then the SMX controls the galley kick heater. The galley SMX will turn on the heat exchanger and kick heater at the same time if both the 12v and 110v buttons are on at the panel.

This is the big Liberty Super Bowl rally week and Jeff has been pressed into service to help Liberty with the service work during that week.

In the meantime the word is that it is party time at ETLC. I think Josh ordered a keg and the place is rocking.

I can’t wait to see Tom’s newest last bus.

Hey Sid,

We are at the MCC in site #109 for a couple of nights…. would like to meet you. What site are you in?

Barret-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, you are missing something (provided that kind of thing interests you).

We went to one of their auctions about 6 years ago, after we had purchased our first bus in Mesa, AZ.

Did not know anything about the auction but having had time on our hands and nothing better to do, we decided to go there.

It is quite an experience.

First of all, there are probably hundreds of cars, outside and inside many tents and on display inside the auction hall.

THEN … there are the people!

The people watching is almost better than the auctions!!! To say the least!!

Many sugar daddies with their trophy girls. All dressed-up to kill (more or less!).

It was also amazing to watch some of the auction activities and to hear how much money changed hands in a very short time.

I would not mind going again. It is fun.

Cheers,

Ronald

I am having similar problems

Jon,

How big is your fuel tank now?

I looked in our ‘capacity’ section in the Prevost manual and it says that we have a 230 gallon fuel tank. The computer will show a range of 1,500-1,600 mile range on fill up. That number will adjust up and down depending on what our current fuel milage that we are getting.

We haven’t filled the DEF tank yet. The manual says that it has a 16 gallon capacity.

Phil & I continued west from OKC (after visiting Prevost/ Ft. Worth) and attended the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque. We stayed at American RV Resort and drove in to the Balloon park in the morning for mass ascension with an upgraded (Gondola Club ) ticket. Parking was very easy coming from that side of town. This worked for us as I hate dry camping. We liked the park – easy parking, large sites, good electric. Also a nice view from the west ridge of town. Talk to them now if you want the first weekend.

[Dave]

Jerry, I don’t know where you’re comming from, but if you’re comming from home, we go 75 to 322 to 72 to 411.

[Dave]

Tom & Bill, we take exception to that. The idiots in Fla. are no better or worse than the idiots encountered anywhere else.

I should temper the above by saying: the aforementioned statistical report is accurate with a confidence interval of somewhere between 0 and 100%. 😉 (fending off the statistician police)!

If you feel compelled to narrow down that interval, vote here:

Poll: where did you buy your coach? (no registration, anonymous, and select as many choices as you wish, voting for Tom’s dillema is of course compulsory)!

Seriously though, we really don’t want to see any entries in the “not happy” categories, and I think most of us would agree that is a worthy topic for discussion. I know if I were in the business I’d want to get to the bottom of that.

The auxiliary timer is a delay timer that active the shore power to the washer dryer cook top and other. if your washer dryer cook top and dishwasher are running your OK.

I was happy they fixed the failed parts within few minutes that will not happened at other service provider.

have a good trip and good luck.

[Dave]

Thanks to everyone!! Glenn has made contact with Ben and Jeff. He got great information, this forum is really helpful. The weather is not allowing him to check all the issues that were suggested. Weather here in North Central Texas is rainy all day! Mostly heavy rain this morning. Positive side is temp is much cooler and we got an extra week here to work on the coach, as my job got extended. Again thanks to all, I will let you know what happens, once the issue is settled. Rynada.

[Dave]

My concern is not auto-start on low batteries, but an auto-start due to shore power interrupt and then a re-start of AC units.

We don’t travel with our pups so there is no longer a safety issue, but if were to be with our pups and gone for an extended period of time I would check to verify it the power is out even for a minute, that when restored the AC units will re-start.
