I purchased this coach in early March 2020. It only had 66k miles on it and everything works beautifully & the workmanship on the coach is excellent. I had a Marathon XLII prior to this coach & I really like the H-3 layout much better. I am trying to contact Mark Fechner to ask a few questions since the owners manual is a little lacking in detail.

Thanks. I also bought front bumper cap and was going back and forth on should I by all the stock supports and mounting for the upgrade from prevo at $$ or look to modify the original.

As always anyone needing a place to lay over we have space available to park…
As a business we have extra parts ordered from our vendors in the event they shut down we will continue to have parts for repairs…

I’m sure someone has determined that maintaining tire pressures is important, but what happens if a hose gets ripped off or a tire gets a serious and fast air pressure loss from a road hazard or blowout?
Silly me for thinking a TPMS might have been a better idea.

Dick, Went by this morning and talked to David. Will call at the end of week and set appointment next week see what they can do. Nice clean place. I dropped your name and they already added 25% to ticket. You need to quit hanging around with Harry. Just a kidding. Thanks for the insight.

Have tried to get several to look and most say no go. The engine comes out just enough to check engine goodies and not to generator. Be more than happy to let someone do it regardless of cost. Going to run it down East of San Antonio about 130 miles southeast to let someone else look see, So Tex Engine and Generator. Had it down to Texas Custom Coach and they replaced new Transfer Switch and new Magnum Pure Sine Inverter as I eliminated that as a problem.. They would’nt touch generator . They recommended So Tex, and I drove over in car but I didn’t like the looks of the shop. Already dropped antifreeze and hoses. . Marathon won’t touch it as it’s not one of there’s. Jeff is 1300 miles away. Always something.
Have also tried Outlaw Coaches and another I can’t recall. They don’t want to work on the antique buses.

I don’t get your comments Bob.

well, now you know where to look. The same thing happened to us a couple of years ago on trip out west and in the middle of nowhere. A phone call to the late Ben Cummings had the proper relay disconnected and alarm silenced. Parliament then fed-ex’d the offending sensor to us, which I was able to replace a few days later. Of course, now that I know what to do…it’ll never happen again. Geo.

Tom is saying G O A T means:

I’ll bet we were all thinking something different.

People said we were crazy when we took off with our three kids and dog for 15 months with our H3-45. It was an amazing trip, full of a lifetime of memories…. not a week goes by that one of us doesn’t mention something about the trip.
He’s a lot braver than me… but what an adventure and for 5K plus his mods why not?
Reminds me of a family that we met along the way while in St. Augustine… they were doing the same thing on a sailboat from Canada… 3 years…. They choose sailing because they determined it was the cheapest way to get around… didn’t have to pay RV resorts. The guy had never sailed. Went to school to learn to sail, trained as a mechanic and learned a lot about weather… They invited us onboard and they were roughing it compared to the prevost but what an adventure….

Although I’m not an on site camp ground director anymore, I do have control of the gate via the internet…..so I don’t know how welcomed SOB my be.
I’ll open it for Nancy but Tom will have to go to the Motel 6.

Al,
I hope your Chiefs go all the way. They are a fun bunch to watch even when they are beating the Texans. Good luck!
Never mind Jon he is just grumpy from eating his grits.

I just finished my RV shop here in Canada this year, i have a 45 foot Marathon XL, my shop is 60 feet long by 20 wide, those are external dimensions, internal Ceiling height is 16 ft
Internal dimensions are 58 x 18, i have in floor heat which is fantastic, temp here last night was -38 deg C.
I have just finished rebuilding my rear drive axle brakes which of course requires removal of wheels, and axle drive shafts, i had no issues doing this work, and i find i have ample room on the sides of the coach to work / walk even with bay doors open, i would not go any smaller with a 45 foot coach.
i have a work bench in front of the coach and i can walk around complete coach with engine bay doors open.
My entry door is 14×14, lots of room.
Hope this helps
regards
Gordon

Are Balance Masters the ones that use mercury in a sealed circular tube? If so, I looked it them, liked the concept but they did not have good distribution in my area and they wanted them returned to them when finished with them because of the mercury. I thought the liquid mercury would do a better job than ball bearing.
