Called prevost this morning and set up my account.
The guy that helped me knew the P/N Immediately so that tells me this is a common part to fail. Strut was 27.89 each with free shipping so that was a pleasent surprize.
I did luck out though. The tip that broke was on the end that attached to the bus. When it broke, it did so in pieces and literally fell off the ball.
Thanks for all the responses and advice.

John,
I posted a picture of it on here a while back. Basically, it is an awning pull rod, that is slightly bent, and tapered on the end of it. I did that with a vise, then ground it to a point, so you can reach in there to release the clips on the rod end of the old struts, or gas shocks.
That’s the hardest thing to do, once you get those off, the new ones will just slip on. Then to get the end on the door, the strut may appear a little long, so I loosened the ball stud on the bracket to give it a little extra length, slipped it on, and then tightened the ball stud back up.
Sorry, I don’t have pictures with me.
John, just found my previous post…………..search for “Tool to replace bay door gas shocks”

The reason the problem exists with a Headhunter toilet is the fresh water supply to the toilet is below the level of the waste water in the bowl. If your coach has another type of toilet, as long as the inflow of water is above the level of the water in the bowl you do not have to be concerned.

We had a “slimline” (aka apartment size) Miele dishwasher installed in place of a cabinet next to the galley sink. Works great, and happy with look and function.

interesting web site. I noticed on page 3, a blue and black Marathon H3-45, 2005 model, with bunk beds listed. This is #888. It last sold two years ago at California Coach Company, with blue and black paint scheme. It is now for sale currently at Marathon with completelly new paint job-it’s all black
if this is supposed to be a current llisting, then beware, 888 has been re painted, recently all one color, not blue and black as pictured

Doublr K, I would still take the Liberty with OTR and the air/electric awning. As soon as I had more trouble than worth, Iwould up grade the awning or replace with a manual one, but I would still have the bus air.

Yesterday was the second time in 2 years I lost the 50DN serpentine belt on start-up.
On our S60 model, the serpentine belt uses a mechanical adjuster and requires 200+lbs of tension. We were boon docking for 5 days, so I assume there was a big load on the alternator right after start-up. The belt moved sideways on the pulleys and got cut. Lost about a third of the belt width. Interestingly, the shredded belt took only 30 seconds to UNSCREW the transmission dip stick.
I’m thinking about upgrading to the newer automatic serpentine belt tensioner style. Has anyone done this?

Sometimes first responders apply Vicks vapor rub to face mask to off set odors.
Just one of the things carried just in case of discoveries.

Jon the next time you come to titusville we should go for a ride in the lumber wagon.

Red,
Just your post now proves Tom and don’t have to say a thing because you are already on the defensive about your Plymouth.
Took the Corvette out for a ride today. Never saw another one and can’t remember ever seeing a Plymouth Viper on the road. I hear they ride like a lumber wagon, but that might just be a rumor.

Davey if you need a battery tender I have new one in box you are welcome to it my wife could mail it to you

I agree. If I find that one is bad and the other are OK shouldn’t I replace all four anyway? I am not itching to spend money but I do want to do it correctly.

This is a picture of the 2611A I found on Amazon. It looks like two separate sets of leads.

Good job with the follow-up Jon. We were on a small trip with our bus this weekend and the jiggling mirrors reminded me of this thread.
I wonder where Ramco is?

If you would post pictures and dimensions of the cable port it would help viewers know what you have.
Please post the plug that Jeff recommended, secrets do not help PC!

Hey Red, would that be Asheville, NC or somewhere else? I know its hard for Yankees to speak Southern, but spelling too?
Say hello to Hish for me, he is a Chrysler man also.
