Reply to Front air system charging up fully in road mode question?

Richard when you installed the new ride height valve did the front of the coach level out or has this been an issue even after you installed it? If it did not level out after installation there is an issue. Looking at the operation you have an air input line (air feed) and an output line (to the bag) to air up the bag. So if you reverse…

Hey Jeff,

No I put that on hold last summer decided to remodel the salon and cockpit with new vinyl plank flooring. I’ve been pricing Vatrer and LiTime Lifepo4’s, but thinking about keeping my Xantrex inverter/chargers based on the location. I thought about Victron’s but I will need to totally reconfigure the bay because they are…

Hey Cal,

I have a 93 Marathon XL….mine has a wood trim held by wood screws…you should be able to remove that wood trim and you should see how to remove the locking mechanism. Good Luck.

Hey Richard,

First I would look for a semi-truck detail shop they should be able to help you or direct you to a shop that can get the polishing done.

Hey Ronald sorry for the delay on the reply…..I use the Roadmaster Sterling All Terrain tow bar…its rated at 8000lbs. which would work for your Hummer’s weight capacity, but as Mike mentioned you would want a setup that would match your vehicle weight.

Hey Ronald…..it shouldn’t be an issue as far as if the engine being strong enough.. The Hummer should be pretty close to the weight of a full size pickup or SUV.

Hey Ronald….I had a similar issue last year in my 93 but I was getting a partial start but it was shut down after about 5 seconds. I tried the toggle switch first but still no start….after some more troubleshooting and suggestion from both prevost forums and it turned out to be my low coolant sensor and relay located in the rear…

Hey Eric….sorry to hear your dilemma, but if the shop broke the lug they should fix it don’t you think? Unless your not feeling their service quality, but that would be my first step. In any case though not seeing where the lug was broken makes it a little harder to answer your question. On the dual wheels you have the large nuts on the…

Reply to Marathon Water System Question

Terry is correct on my XL you don’t need the pumps when connect to campground water. I have a tank fill button that operates a relay to open the fresh water tank for filling….but I don’t use my pumps when connected. I use bottle water for drinking…I’m not that comfortable with using my fridge water until I replace my old Amana Fridge next year.

Hey Art….that’s a tough question because some tech’s would say yes change it based on time. But if you don’t live in a cold climate where the temp in the winter goes below freezing….my opinion would be don’t worry right now…I mean its your preference in my opinion. But they do say change oil based on number of hours and length of…
