We are at Yosemite Pines RV Park right now. It’s a bit tight for a 45-footer, but we fit. Power is not too good–only 115V before we plugged in, and less than 110V running ACs. Came up 49 from Bear Valley–interesting drive going up and down some steep, curvy roads down to the Merced river, and back up on the other side. Margrit insisted I find another way out. She was not too keen on looking straight down the steep slope out the window. If you are coming this way, recommend 120 instead. Coach did fine, though, pulling up steep grades at 20 MPH with OTR AC on, and no overheat!

Ours was installed in the the rear low part of roof too.. I think that may be the problem I think I am only getting half the channels I should get…Thinking of having Jeff move it to the top of the coach when we are there if it’s not too big of a deal… if we determine that’s the problem… the good thing is that Jeff will know what channels I should receive at his place.
Cheers, Diane

Hope You get them straightened out Allan. This post makes me feel grateful to have the old manual awnings.

thanks guys,
one of my inverters seems to have a problem sue with a fan. That is what I am hearing.
Jon, truk , my fans are running 24/7 with no issue.
Im currently running just the one inverter as I’m plugged in and giving the bad fan one a break. Will get the fan fixed to remedy the issue as soon as we get off the road.
Thanks for the reply and insight!

Allan,
There’s a 7/16 bolt on top of each arm that should be lubed periodically with a little 3 in 1 oil per Zip Dee. I assume you already know how to get the water out of the arms by manually lowering the arms past 90 degree and then remove the black caps with 4 screws letting the water run out. This should be done often.

On my H, it’s right under the driver compartment …
I also have air in the rear engine compartment for tow reasons.

Sorry for the basic question, but where do I find the output from the bus compressor that I can use on my tires? ’97 XL chassis…

My general opinion of Marathon is that they do high quality work with price being little factor in their decisionmaking. They generally offer the best of everything.
I’ve owned my 2004 XLII for about 3 years and it’s had the usual number of failures and hiccups that one might expect. I’ve only used Marathon’s service department once, and that was for a factory recall of the battery equalizer which was performed at no charge. I also thought that they did great work, were courteous and helpful, and they have a great place to hook up and park outside while you’re waiting your turn.
As a mechanic, builder, electronics and software engineer, I know quality electromechanical construction when I see it, and with Marathon it’s clearly visible. Everywhere you look is evidence that a great deal of experience and skill went into this build.
My greatest regret about this coach is the unavailability of wiring diagrams and program codes that would otherwise allow me to perform self maintenance and upgrades on its systems. After 13+ years, this coach is a technology dinosaur in many respects and I have a big upgrade project ahead of me. As Marathon estimates were in the $20-$50K range, I’ll be looking at alternative solutions that I can participate in.

I had that happen to my awning before and as Jeff had said you can simply push it in. Mine was due to dirt and grime filling in around it. I’d say clean around it and give it a shot of lube.

Hey. Buddy, what are you thinking.. Now how are we going to relate, you’re leaving the 40 foot world

Gone Crazy, That is the deionizer in the engine compartment.
I don’t have a brand on it but James Stallings at Xtreme Paint installed it several years ago.
He is on the PC site as Xtreme Paint and Graphis in Nacogdoches Texas. (How many can spell that)
It has really been hand to have. Don’t have to dry the stainless when you wash it.
