Tim,
50 amp plugs have a 50 amp service on each leg, or each side of the plug, which means you have two hots, one ground, and one common.
On a 30 amp plug, you have 3 lugs, only one of them is the hot, which is 30 amp total. Then you have a ground, the round terminal, and the other is common. So your inverters have to share the one 30 amp, 15 each.
Hope that helps.

Hi Robert, I’m not sure why you think that Liberty doesn’t embrace a custom build. We picked everything out that we wanted (cabinets, leathers, appliances, wood flooring, fabrics, etc.) I would imagine that there are some extreme things that they may not do. You have to be more specific.
Any questions, please ask. We use our bus for normal travel between CA and TN. At 15 months of travel, we have put on almost 20,000 miles not counting the delivery miles from Canada (chassis).
Our bus is still on their website… under ‘past coaches’, we are #787. And, Dean Loucks painted our coach.
Some of the State Parks cannot accept 45 ft. coaches, you will have to check before arrival.

The slow typing comes to me when I post pictures… it has to do with the compatability settings I think !!
Tools:
Compatability settings: remove prevost community hit apply… I have to do this to post a picture… then when done I go back and put prevost community back in and all is well.My laptop is running windows 8.1 with everything up to date… I have always had to do this ????

Just to add to what Tom said, I’ve been working on my Webasto recently. I had the opposite problem, Prevost Dash heat worked, Marathon coach heat did not.
As I spent quite a bit of time up front… I know that the Prevost heat isn’t the same set of coolant lines as the Webasto heat. (at least on my 2003 XLii – we all know each bus could be different)
On our bus, the Prevost system also has a different coolant pump than the Coach Webasto heat.

Cool, and why do I think all the hers should be his…ah, but she keeps you young Colt…but God knows why she puts up with you. Geo.

What do you do if the failure is not in the extension and retraction of the cord, but in the contacts at the base of the cord reel so no power reaches the transfer switch from the cord reel.
I think Towson is on the right track.

I just posted an “update” to my post about Venture Out above:
Update: After being there a few days and looking around, Venture Out really isn’t as tight as I first thought. Most of the sites are pretty wide, just not really deep. A 45′ with a short toad (HHR) fit in the site we were assigned with a front and rear setback variance from the main office. A 45′ coach with slides would have required some jockeying back and forth to get it in the center of the site.
Depth of the sites (which was based on what RVs were in the 1970s) is what would really impact a 45′ coach, and possibly a 40′ coach at Venture Out.
Anyone with a long coach/toad combination, like a 45′ Prevost with a long toad like a Chevy Avalanche or a Hummer would need to pay special attention to get everything parked properly. We have bikes on the back our our towed HHR which adds to the problem. I’m also starting to see extended receivers/draw bars on coaches with a platform for a power chair … so a 45′ coach capable of stowing a power chair on back towing an Avalanche or Hummer with bikes on the back would pose special challenges.
I ironically our next door neighbor at Venture Out has a long fifth wheel, crew cab dually pickup, and a golf cart. Somehow he got that all tucked onto his Venture Out site … but probably with a variance or two from the office.

Better info, good idea, I’m in.

Dawn, quite all right…though that doesn’t mean that later this year if we like Chris’s bus and you’re still looking…. Geo.

Tim, I looked in my information that I got with my coach and I have a laminated sheet from Marathon about how they set up the Trace inverters, the only thing is that it says it is for Software Version 41. I will be glad to scan both sides and email it to you, if you want . Just let me know.

Are the new style lights also from an identifiable motor manufacturer/specific model or are they a bit more bespoke?

Tim,
On ours, there is a 110 V heater all the way at the bottom of the center instrument stack. It is controlled by the SMX control beside the passenger.

Please allow me to add more Thanks to and for Rudy. Rudy is a tremendous resource of knowledge and good will. Our AquaHot died and we’re presently in cold country. Rudy has been an invalable resouce helping to troubleshoot over the phone and even got on the phone with AquaHot trained techcians trying to get our machine running. Rudy told these guys troubleshooting steps they never covered at the factory school.
Thank You Rudy for your help and kindness! I replaced the ignition coil this morning and the AquaHot has run all day with no issues. Given the interrmitant failures I’m reluctant to call the problem resolved, but we’re very close.
Rudy is so good at fixing AquaHot’s that he’s fixed ours twice and he has yet to see or touch it.
Thanks again Rudy!

Dawn,
In mine, the bedroom cruise air, is the rear unit behind the bumper, the front one is the forward unit. Fold the bumper down, take the grill and or possibly, you may have air operated shutters in front of the cruise air units, take that off too.
The front unit has (on the right side) a pin with a handle that releases the front unit so it can swing out to gain access to the back of it, and the front of the unit in the rear, access to it.
I would guess low on freon, or the start capacitor, which is located on the left side of the unit behind a removable panel. there are acutally 2 capacitors in there.
AAP, Fred, can overnight you the correct ones, and guide you through the process.
The easiest is too put guages on it and check freon before you do anything else.
