Good catch! That old bearing does look like it got hot. Did you manage to get the dust cap off without destroying it?

Jeff,
Here is a photo of the female, upper door latch. The screws are easily accessed.
You must have a different refrigerator or set up.

Moisheh, good to see you on this site. I knew these guys would be able to give you a perspective on that Prevost.
Safe travels,
Mark

Google “Fridge Fixer” interesting product.

Thanks Al, it really looks great now.
Tom, I mentioned that to him while he was working on the coach, said he will consider it. Quality is his primary focus, will take some time hire and properly train personnel on the removal. He suggested in 2018 he completed about 385 removals, of course with his father / son assistance. It is a very tedious job…took them from 9am until 5:30pm, with 15 min lunch to complete. I have a message into him, his decision what he wants to do going forward.
Chuck, I understand, yes it is costly…ourselves were putting this off since 2017, tried couple ways to clean it myself without success, so I did the research and decided to let the professionals do it. Just FYI, Marathon is quoting about $2,500 to remove the shield and install the new Xpel Ultimate, coach at their facility for 3 days, no warranties if paint comes off during the shield removal…
I am not sure how Wayne quoted your service, on ours he was just next door, looked at the shield and gave me the quote. I know lots of his customers are driving to Fort Myers where he has an arrangement at / with Seminole RV that allows him to get the work done on their property. FWIW, I have no incentive or other benefits by suggesting his services, just happy with the outcome for our coach, a good honest service deserve praise as far as I am concerned.
Good luck, safe travels!

While you note I am critical of wild goose chases in one respect your comments are on target Dick.
Chad just dealt with creative problem solving by a previous owner and those kinds of “repairs” or “updates” are so off the wall people that tend to rely on logic for problem solving are blindsided.
We just have to qualify our responses, while recognizing strange things do happen.
A long time ago a member called and wanted some help to understand why his level low system wouldn’t make the bus go up (or down, can’t remember which). We discussed the system, how it works, what fails, how to diagnose issues, etc. and not a single thing determined the problem. He finally called when he found the problem. Turns out his pneumatic system had never been serviced and a Norgren valve was full of water and would not shift to open or close the valve as required. Big lesson for me to always be prepared to think outside the box, but to qualify that thinking so nobody starts chasing obscure solutions.

I cut down one that was too big, so it must be 2 or 1.5 inch.

I’m in the middle of a trip towing a 2008 GX 470… the last year with the ability to tow. I’ve been towing for 30,000 miles, no issues. Transfer case to neutral, leave in park, leave key in slot but do not turn on. Go.

Might the attached photo of the old bearing show evidence of heat scorching?
-
How did you know it was failing? When you rotated it did it feel rough. Did it have any slop? Was there any sign it was dry, pitted, or otherwise not perfect?
Grease gets warm, grease flows a little easier when warm, centrifugal force slings it out from the cup and makes streaks, but that is normal.

Which converters and/or what kind of information?

These will likely be the batteries needed. For those in the frozen north, the LT Relion has an internal heater. The HP versions are for higher amp demand such as starting a generator with house batteries, a standard setup in many Fiberglass coaches.

So can we see some pricing and capacity comparisons? I know the Li batteries can be used well below the 50% SOC than lead batteries so fewer batteries might be required.

Yes! Very nice!

Great question. If you find the answer, please post it.
