    Certainly would not go bigger as mentioned above wire might not support. Also existing bay and support might not hold more weight

    Have to wonder if recent efficiency from LED bulbs, TVs, induction cooktop really helps and therefore less need for the 20kw behemoths. As captain pointed out newer inverters can help bridge the gaps.

    Thanks Bill. Mine are 2.13 inches in diameter with a 2.97 inch bezel. They are held in place by three screws, so sounds like they are a little different than yours. My old Royale had a light similar to the ones you described.

    I think I will close this thread now. Hopefully someone can benefit from knowing where they can get lights for Marathon.

    Thanks for your input.

    On interstate system I run at 63 mph. I may hit 65, 67 going down a hall, but I keep an extreme watch on it. I am with Jon, and others that have stated, relax and cruise. Vehcile wants by they will find a way.

    Check your GFI receptacle. On our bus (2006 Liberty) , the circuit down stream from the bedroom sink GFI feeds the Crestron system.

    Looks like the thermostat for the Webasto bay heat. On at 23 degrees and off at 39.

    Jon and Jim-

    My mistake, the tires on the bus are indeed Michelin 315 80×22.5R

    They are the 9″ wheels

    That’s the problem with that system because there are so many potential leakage points you need a large bottle of soapy water to check them all, including the air bags themselves.

    Luc, I paid $207 (less tax) for a PDI at Prevost Winter Garden, FL back in February and got 7 pages of items checked. Invoice shows 1.5 hours labor at $138/ hr.

    I might add I also had a 3 axle alignment, found both tag seals leaking, replaced upper and lower A arms (which, I believe, the 95 you are looking at does not have) a level 3 service, bad differential pinion seal, generator drain hose leak, torque rods, tie rods, drag link ends, Tag radius rod bushings, sway bar bushings, OTR AC compressor problems, air bag replacement, shocks, fuel filter leak all for less than $100 over $22,000 which included tax. Oh, and one tail light bulb burned out which I replaced to save the labor cost.

    All of this started with a unusual wear pattern on the passenger side front tire.

    I will also totally agree with Larry saying PDI is the best money you can spend.

    Hope everyone has a better outcome with Paul than I had. Scheduled appointment to have $1,000 worth of work done, price set and agreed. He was a no show. No call, no text, just did not show up. I again scheduled with him to do the coach while it was at Prevost Winter Garden. Worked with Prevost to give him a 2 week window and again he was a no show with no call, no text, no contact. That has been over 2 months ago and he only apologized after I posted his actions, or non action, on Facebook. Seems to have time for facebook, but no time for his customers. I can not give him or his company a good reference and can not recommend him or his services. Any additional question, you can email me.

    Yes Brett I look at those schematics a lot but like I said it’s like finding a needle in a hay stake, The one page that says circuit numbers says not found. I look at compartment lights and no luck
