I had a 2014 Ford F-150 I towed for one summer. The bulb sockets did not work that great because of how the housings are built and the light output was wimpy. I added one of those LED strips under the tailgate to supplement the original lights. It made a huge difference.

I would be more than happy to check that price for you. All we need is the cooler part number or the VIN of the coach. And when Jeff quotes you, you’ll know you are probably getting the best price possible.

While a roof vent should allow both air entry and exhaust it should not create a negative system pressure when we drive. Our first coach had what looked like a pressure venturi cap on the roof vents and as we drove the negative pressure created vacuumed the water from the traps. A rotating cap will have a negative pressure area at the back side opening with the drop in pressure greater as speed increases.As the water in the traps was reduced by driving we could hear gurgling. As long as we used the sink after we stopped driving, no odors, but if we did not refill the traps we got the smell.

There really is no down side to a roof vent just terminating with an open pipe pointing skyward. What little rain can enter the vent is going to end up in the holding tank and not in any quantity that will cause a problem.

I don’t want to alarm you, but its important to figure out where and how your cooler is leaking. As Jon said, if the leak allow engine coolant to mix with the transmission fluid, that poses as very dangerous situation to your transmission. I think Jon said that engine coolant and transmission fluid doesn’t mix well. I cannot emphasis this enough.

Before you move the coach, make sure you understand the impact to your transmission of this leak. Don’t be afraid to post more questions and information about your situation. We’re all here standing by to help you as best we can.

Don’t be afraid to reach out to Jeff Rowe at ETLC or the Large family at Expert Transmission. They both are PC advertisers and have a good reputation for helping Prevost owners out like you.

I’ve never priced heat exchangers/cooler for heavy equipment or over the road trucks, but I have looked at heat exchangers and coolers built for various motorsports applications and they seemed to be quite a bit less.

Good luck! Keep us posted.

Please turn on the heat, it’s 31 in Polk City, FL.

The only way to change the fitting is to either pull the dash (Marathon) or wait till my front window cracks and then get to the gauges that way. We did isolate it to the F brakes gauge that is leaking. But I need to have the tech see if we can find the origin to put a solenoid on them. The tech told me that newer Prevosts have built in solenoids that once you turn the key off it shuts off the air to avoid air leaking down. Still not done though…tomorrow is another day after replacing check valves to isolate the leaks. Here’s a pic of the three gauges behind the dash looking thru my windshield. If this 1/4″ leaks, is that sufficient for the F/R brakes to leaks down overnight? Plus the aux.. Also, beside check valves are there pressure protection valves or are they the same thing?

Thanks, Tom! I am going to try to use your settings. Your advice on how to clear the “gibberish” on the display for Inverter #1 (reset switch in the bay) was spot on, also, although I wish I knew what was causing that condition.

Thanks again!

Tim,

The picture Al put up is where you activate the Auto-Start that turns on the dash light letting you know the Auto-Start is active. For the most part, the only functions you use on that screen is off or auto.

This is the Generator screen as Al displayed. You would select Auto for the Auto-Start function.

This is the Inverter screen, always on. You can manually select Charge only, or Off. You don’t want to use the Search function.

Mikee,

I don’t understand what you just said. The “auto” is under the Gen Start. There is a different menu for the Inverters where I can set the different values, i.e., cut in or cut out, etc.

I also tested my auto gen and when I turn the screen to off (same pic as above) the light in the cockpit for “auto gen start” goes off. This has to be the way to activate/deactivate the auto start.

Bill, something a bit easier to handle and C-Dot (Colorado Department of Transportation) approved, is the “Auto Sock. You tube search it

The shades on my Liberty (motor) were 24v, the ones on my Marathon are 12v. To test, just reverse the wires for up and down.

so right now we are freezing. And have major draft coming from somewhere. Just don’t know how to shut that sucker.

BTW

my husband and I just looked at your coach. Online. Why are you selling? Upgrading?

Beautiful coach. Just what we are looking for. Just not sure about only jumping up one year.

Thank you all very much! I will check out that link Jon. I’m so glad I found this forum. I’m sure I will be a frequent visitor. Happy New Year!

Yes that is correct.Olyimpia has the Marathon and Panterra has the Royale
