Very nice Ernie.

This entire mud flap discussion has to recognize there are some air flow patterns enhanced by full width, under the bumper mud flaps and some are adversely affected. Blanket statements out of context just confuse the issue.
A blanket statement I can make is if a converter or coach manufacturer feels compelled to have their company name 8 feet wide on a mud flap, they should be paying rent to the coach owner.

I bought my 07 Marathon from Brandon, a really straight up guy.
No problem doing business with him at all.

John Carrillo has whatever you need and has been working on these systems for years. He used to service our coach at FMCA rallies for years.

Just out of curiosity Dick, how do you define “nice insurance”?
Do you mean if you have an issue they know a bus conversion regardless of age is going to be incredibly expensive to repair? Of course with an ACV policy all it would take is a full length scrape down the bay doors for Allstate to determine the cost to repair is greater than their estimate of the true market value of the coach so they give you a check and they own your coach.
Or do you mean by “nice insurance” it is inexpensive?
What claims coverage have they provided so you feel confident in suggesting a company that likely doesn’t have a clue what a bus conversion is?
If my questions sound harsh and critical it is because feedback from a number of years has strongly suggested bundling the bus with policies that cover the house and cars may be cheap, but when there is an insurance problem with the coach things get real ugly real fast.

Michael: I’m in Grafton. 1999 Liberty XLV. Nice coverage through Allstate. You’re probably in a “good” zip code. Don’t let insurance keep you from buying!

Regarding air flow, there are two air openings between the fridge and the freezer. Air flow is bottom to top in freezer, i.e., air is pulled from the fridge at the bottom of the freezer and pushed into the fridge at the top of the freezer. So air flows through the evaporator from bottom to top.
The defrost heater went out in mine some time ago. Fairly easy to replace but long arms reaching into the freezer help. Still going strong after 21 years.

The new Koni’s no longer are adjustable. If you get an older set middle setting is what most want.

Dick I have no idea. If I remember correctly (big IF), previous owner Jerry James purchased a new/newer coach with slides from Marathon in FL.
I sent a letter to the only address I had (OH) but it came back undeliverable.

I would be very concerned about being on the road around the time of the Nov. Elections especially election day and after. Don’t be traveling on the road or in Metro areas. Be as rural as possible. If the election goes wrong for the left there will be very bad riots in the Cities and middle size towns and no one will be spared. The left and the Marxists will go nuts and Prevosts will be a target.
No gun or grenade launcher will help if your in the middle of a mob; stay rural, stay at home, stay vigilant.

Insulated 40′ x 60′ here with 14′ roll up doors that you can drive through if needed. 6″ thick concrete with ramps. Had plumbing in floor for restroom with shower. Whole deal for building $47,000, electric was extra. Like somebody said you can’t build them big enough. Don’t know about frost or ice and sure pour will be a heck of a lot higher then it was here in Central Texas.

There’s a big difference in cost between a pad located where there is no ground frost, and one where the frost can go a couple of feet into the ground. There has to be a well designed base with drainage otherwise the pad will heave and crack.
You cannot even lay an asphalt driveway up north without a base of stone,

That is a first…unbelievable
