    Not sure why, but the picture is so big on my Ipad and my desktop, it is not legible at all.

    Tom, they are great looking. I had Prompt Sunscreens on my last 3 coaches, but, alas, they appear to have gone out of business. So your timing is perfect as I’ve been shopping. I think Magneshades is the way to go. Maybe someone with a XLII can hop in with advice on installation.

    Anyway, they look good and they are the only non-snap option left.

    The run solenoid for the generator has 2 windings in it. 1 for start and 1 for run. The run 1 is controlled thru an oil pressure switch and probably a coolant temp switch. It is either one of these or the solenoid itself has failed. The above is the issue 99% of the time

    The air slide has a air regulator along with a manual air adjustable electric gate valve.

    Should be located on bulkhead where air slide is. Someone might of raised the air level adjustment on the SMC valve. Electric gate valve might need adjustment.

    Marathon usually posts the working pressure on a tag / label near by.

    Apex,

    We have no problem with your participation on the forum. I regret we are unable to answer or comment on some of your questions, but that is because most of us are not skilled or trained technicians and blurting out a guess might just confuse an issue even more.

    What we would like is someone with your obvious expertise is participation in answering questions, but also providing us with information on how you ultimately solved some of the problems and questions you posted.

    You are always welcome.

    Yes indeed, Just got mine today located in my Junk folder. The subject read;

    Karen Gaule: Roadmap Market Research sent you an Amazon Gift Card!

    And just as I thought… If you look down in the fine print it clearly states “any unclaimed card within 10 days of issuance will be forwarded to Tom of Prevost Community towards Jon’s iPhone“! As if they don’t make enough in dues!!!

    These are probably pick up truck rear cargo lights of a few years ago….

    Not expensive …. you can get the whole light or parts at dealer for Ford or Chevy

    Or a junk yard …. these are very common.

    I hard wired LEDs into the brackets and connected.

    Chad, solenoid valves are plentiful and the internet is your friend.

    That is a common configuration and without more detail I would start looking at ASCO Valves to see what they have. The critical things are voltage and whether it is AC or DC. Look to determine if the valve is continuous duty, high temp, and what media it is controlling, such as air, oil, fuel, etc.

    Some valves are expensive, and I think ASCO is one of the expensive ones, but by searching I have found direct replacement alternatives for very little cost.

    I used the the “Parker” brand fittings and they match my originals exactly.

    I got mine from our local Parker store. Brass only no chrome.

    Just one more possibility.

    Hi Apex, Best thing to do for now and long term info is download the Prevost Tools App and click on Manuals. It’s an invaluable App and directs you to all that is Prevost. Rumor has it that even Jon can figure it out! smile
