    Jon:

    So are we to presume that the primary driving reason that Tom liquidated his beautiful Prevost luxury motor coach and replaced it with a very nice box truck was to reduce his fan clutch expense? That’s the conclusion that some of us are arriving at … and rather quickly I might add.

    Asking on behalf of other Forum members.

    Edit: Added “very nice”

    We had that problem. We cleaned the flush valve and it still bled by.

    we had to shut main valve to keep toilet from over filling until we got a new flush valve.

    replaced timer too, as it was original also.

    I had my Bose go out – no sound at all in my 03. Under the sofa is the amplifier. The amplifier that houses the sub woofer went bad. Found one on eBay for 100. The Bose unit in the cabinet showed the system worked, but no sound. The heat build up under the sofa is high from the Bose amp and there is no fan circulation. After replacing the Bose Sub-woofer amp “black box” I learned to also turn the amp off when not using the coach to avoid the unnecessary heat build up. Hope this helps you get music.

    Hey Jon, Doesn’t George know a lot about the Parliament Coach? You remember he helped me with the one near Tampa and was friends of the president?

    It seems to draw about 20 -21 amps.

    I’ve been out in the wild working for the past month, wife mentioned it to me. I got back last night for a long weekend and tried it. Comp didnt even seem to kick on, just flipped the breaker. Wasn’t thinking to watch the draw on it when I tried it. Just turned it on and it ran fine.

    I’ll keep an eye on it for now.

    I confirmed the .16 off for Loves and TSD, this is the response.

    They have for now only given 16 cents off per gallon due to low fuel costs. Hopefully only temporarily

    Thanks…..Yes, my PVC piping has deteriorated to the point it has broken in several spots. Sun damage.

    I don’t plan on replacing the drain piping inside the coach. I’m sure that’s fine. Just want to replace the exposed piping.

    Also exploring PEX to see if it is any more resistant to UV damage.

    Here is mine. Bus was completely empty other than full fuel and not much fresh water. Wonder why heavier other than OTR A/C. XL 40 also.

    Notice the heat discoloration on the inside of that plastic box? Not good for solenoid life span. I want to install a small air duct/supply from the cold ac air duct above it. It also needs an outlet. Cold air in, hot air out.

    I’m not an electrician or electrical engineer. But I read all of Jon’s posts religiously.

    That’s an interesting solution.

    But … I don’t see any UL Marine, RVIA, CSA, ABYC, or U.S. Coast Guard Standards certification.

    Just Intertek/ETL certification which appears to be an organization in England.

    That “fourth contact” around the ring is the ground. Does much current flow through the ground? Is its apparent modest size sufficient?

    Did you figure out “why” you had a meltdown?

    At this point, I’m sticking with the tried and true traditional RV/Marine connections … especially from quality manufacturers like Marinco.
