It is unlikely the pump is bad if coolant is circulating to the heat exchangers through the coach.

Hi Jeff, how are you and Lindsay doing up in the frozen tundra? My brother lives in upper Michigan and burrrrr it’s cold up there! Yes we had a beautiful day today and it’s about time. I can’t complain about temperatures, just a lot of rain and overcast days.
Our only major trip was a week in Branson, MO last year and it was a super trip. Since then a couple zip trips but nothing major. My wife has had some medical issues to deal with and between doctors, specialists and visits to the hospital our time has not been our own. Our hope is to get it all behind us this winter so we can spend the summer out west.
How is that Marathon holding up for you guys? Are you and Lindsay going to head out to the wild country this summer and trip the light fantastic? I’ve been looking at your weather and it looks like summer there is August 3rd!

What do you think if I just make it simple and replace the old normally open valve with a new normally closed 24v valve and install a switch inside so when switch is on antifreeze flows and you get heat, otherwise I will have to replace the temp or even fan control

Yes Art, I have the 24 volt charger installed by the converter that boils the batteries.
I went from Liberty number 276 to Royale number 376.
After much research, I’m going with the Samlex SEC 2425UL smart charger. Here’s why:
1) It is made in Taiwan instead of China
2) Input can be 230VAC
3) Used by our military
4) Using dip switches, can be configured as a three or two stage charger. Explaining: When the batteries being charged also have a load, the load can prevent the charger from ever getting to float mode causing the charger to stay in absorption which would eventually over heat them. By using the two stage configuration, the charger goes from bulk to float to prevent this.
5) All protections – short, reverse, overtemp
6) Thermostatic controlled fan.
7) Switchable to 50% of capacity in case you want a slower (less heat) charge.

I have a similar switch on my console and it switches the radio from internal to external speakers but it is well labeled. The external speakers are also long gone so it’s just a worthless switch!

Is this event sold out? Some of you are. What’s the story.

Congratulations to Ann and Andre on your new Coach. Its a beauty!
Stay in touch Buddy- I may need to sell a bus quick and I need to know how its done.

Andre and Ann,
Buddy and I each had a 2007 Marathon H3-45. Mine was 3 Valid slides Buddy 2 slides. The production Marathon numbers were 1075 (me) and 1080 (Buddy). Both had the Multi-plex systems which eliminate 95% of plug in relay’s. I have been on this beautiful / outstanding bus many times.
You have chosen an extremely well cared for H3-45.
Right spot right time.

Davy got towed to Prevost Dallas, which Prevost is going to slide the engine in and out, while a 3rd party is going to do the valve adjustment, harness and injectors…..
-
That thought has crossed my mind also.

Ouch, Ouch, Ouch! That could have been so much worse. She should be very thankful that you did everything right! Very good job.
I plug my dash cam in a 12 volt that runs from house batteries and stays on 24/7. I like it being on when I am parked too.
You guys know I am not an agitator, I have an honest question. Theorectically how would an H fare in a similar accident?

Are those stock Prevost turn signals just below the windshield? Or a customization?

Chris, New Orleans has been one of our favorite go-to places and in fact we just returned from a week there.
We originally always stayed at the KOA (west) on Jefferson Highway in Kenner because at the time that was the only choice. We like the relative quiet, and we especially enjoyed the drive along River Road and then up St.Charles toward the French Quarter. It was a relaxing drive with great architecture. The location is also great for heading towards the various plantations, and I believe we have seen them all. some multiple times.
But several years ago we tried going to the French QuarterRV park. It is really nice as far as the quality of the sites and proximity to the French Quarter. But after several times we went back to using the KOA on the west side. The never ending sirens, the warnings not to walk to French Quarter at night, and the nose from I-10 that goes almost overhead were too much.
If I were you I would not cancel if you have a reservation, but to say we enjoy the safety and quiet of the KOA and not having to get a taxi if we want to get into and return from the French Quarter at night.

Chuck, this is the George that Foxtrot referenced. We are also in Fla (Sarasota). We have had our Vantare H for over 5yrs now and could not be more pleased. We have more than zeroed out everything (I am just slightly less anal than Jon) and have done many up-grades. Any thing that you have questions about feel free to call me 941 779 5018 or email coreygrubb@yahoo,com. In between smiles, of course! Geo.
