After my experience with Swagelok I will never use another brand of compression fitting.

You’re right of course Jeff, as soon as I made the post I thought “well dah”!
-
leak came from the condenser bay where the condenser fans vent from it guessing maybe the fans didn’t kick in and the over heat/pressure valve dumped the Freon to protect the system as stated above I will keep you guys posted once I refill the system. Yes I have bus air which also includes the driver but it doesn’t have a separate compressor for the front its all one unit.

Jon,
Thank you for the clarification.

Brain:
Don’t have these shades on my current coach but have dealt with them on previous coaches and boats too.
Don’t know your exact model but adjustment is fairly simple. One button/tab (yellow/black button/tab) is to set the up travel distance and the other is to set the down travel distance.
Push the button/tab in (it should click in/stay in that position) run the blind up to the position you want it to stop, while it is running push the button/tab in again to set the stop position.
Push the button/tab in (it should click in/stay in that position) run the blind down to the position you want it to stop, while it is running push the button/tab in again to set the down position.
Depends on if the blind was wired correctly as to which button/tab is up & which one is down. Just start the blind running and push one button or the other, you will quickly find out which one is up side set button and which one is down side set button.

Just a suggestion: Read carefully the procedure to adjust the in stop and the out stop. This should be done in a quiet environment so that you can hear the motor stop making noise, not just stop moving.
I found the stop adjustment to be very sensitive. Two of my awnings would close but the motor would continue to try to close further, making a light hum. Eventually it would trip out on thermal overload. It would take a fairly long time to “cool off” and reset.
The same thing could happen in the out position. My awnings call for a measured space between arm pivots when fully extended – not touching or in a bind. It is easy to think they need to “lock in place”.

My take has been the 4024SW that have been in all of my Marathons are True Sign Wave vs the 4024MSW that is Modified Sign Wave. Maybe Jeff will jump in here.

Jon’s post on a rebuild was exactly what was on my mind. We love our solid walnut interior so much, we would be heartbroken if it was totaled – even if we got a later model as a no cost replacement.
My other reaction is over the last 5 years following posts, I see lots of folks with well maintained, much newer coaches discussing breakdowns and delays. You would need to be dead certain the S60 coach you buy is as well maintained and more reliable than the “devil you know”
There are specialty shops, like DES, that LOVE rebuilding V92’s (I saw a 12V92 torn down). For a fraction of the cost, why not a robust rebuild? Not only engine/tranny but alternators, steering pump, compressor, hoses, wiring harnesses, etc.
That is how B-52 and U-2s and L1011’s are still safely in service 😉

Al, you need another bus……………

Dick,
Is the transmission max RPM limit something that can be changed by Detroit Diesel? Or is it always set at 2350?

We don’t have the new tire yet… we are in Austin TX and the tire had to be ordered. Tire is in Ft. Worth… it’s really gonna depend on “where” you have a flat as to how long it will take to get a 365.
The piece of tire missing IS on the outside on that piece of “rim” that looks scary – and it’s why we’re getting a new tire… wife is scared!
I to take a look when it’s changed and see if it looks any different.
I spoke to Dave and Wendy (seem like very good people BTW) and it is the 315 that has a new model… the 365 is still the same. Was a mixup on our part.

I have reading a bunch of info on Allison so I looked on the Prevost book and I’m in the transmission section lots of info and if you push too many buttons you will get a shifter tone. It also talks about a do not shift light! where is that?

Carrying a full set of tools and enough spare parts to stock the typical Prevost service center is a sure way to never have on the road needed repairs.
