This might start a food fight, but I will give my opinion which is worth nothing.
Leave the auto-start and power interruption switches off at all times unless and until you really need them, such as when dry camping or when leaving the coach unattended with pets inside. Even then be absolutely certain if the intent is to protect against the AC units from shutting down due to lack of power, make sure if power is interrupted they will resume running when power is restored.
Here is why I don’t think you need to “arm” those two features when you drive. Your coach as set up likely has the ability to charge the house batteries and possibly run one or two ACs while you drive. As long as the drain on the house batteries is not in excess of the alternator output with devices run throught the inverters you don’t need your generator. Just for information you control the loads on your 120V systems and it is likely to be one or two AC units, your refrigerator, maybe the TV, and a microwave or coffee maker. If you stay below the alternator output in amps you don’t need the generator.
However, if you are bumping up against the alternator limits you can increase its life by taking the load off of it and running the generator. The generators on our coaches do not get enough exercise or loading so it does not hurt them to load them up and run them hard when you do have an opportunity.

I just got 8 XZA2’s last week in Shreveport LA. Got them on the Advantage program.
I have used Toyo’s before and they were ok but I think their speed rating is 65 mph, ck that out.
When I got the tires last week had to get rid of 2 of the Continental Coach tires. They seem to be pretty good tires although I only had a few 1000 miles on them. A tour bus lease company at home only uses the Continentals on all their coaches. Pretty good looking tire, rides we’ll and stays bright and shines, lot of silicone in the compound I guess.
Have also had Goodyear 670’s before also.
Long story short, I like the Michilen’s. Rated at 75.

You guys do know that Red lives just down the street from me, right? If you make him cry I might have to listen to him complian, so I think I deserve at least 1 year of free membership just because Red lives so close to me! Now just to be clear his wife Patti is a first class lady, I don’t know how she puts up with him.
Red, that is payback for not showing up with Hish to help be with a brake chamber that was given me fits!

When we were looking at the Newell coaches at the MCC in Indio, one of the two on display was sold the day after we looked.
It’s good to hear that the Marathon coach (1212) sold as it was a beautiful coach. It had three slides and we wanted four. We drove that coach on a test drive.
We had a nice salesman that flew in from the factory to show us the coach.
It looks like the economy might just be turning around with upper end coaches selling. I know we helped!

Congratulations …MM on your purchased of a new out of the box Liberty H 4/s.
I have to admit with your many postings on PC there was some gray area about if you were the real deal or just someone on the internet yanking our chain about buying a New-New bus.
I hope you post the build process and as one of the regular PC members here we’ll give you advice. Just kidding, you can handle it all by yourself.
PC members have opinions, we also enjoy helping other members spend money.

Congratulations on your new to you H3-45… did you buy it in Canada.. we were looking at an ’04 Featherlite for sale in Canada. It was an estate sale and the son ( professional hockey player) was selling it for his Mom ? It was a nice coach if that is the one.
Cheers, Diane
