Jerry,
If the replacement has the same footprint and no trim issues, it should be just a matter of changing it out with the necessary PVC and pipe change out. It it’s hard piped with copper, it takes more labor.

It is a 20kw Kohler.

We started using the Big Rigs book and website (http://www.big-rigs-rv.com) while still driving the Country Coach Intrigue. It wasn’t as important then, but adding 3 extra feet with the Prevo makes a big difference! They have proven to be pretty accurate, but nothing beats getting out and walking the spot they put you in before you accept the spot. Some parks just don’t quite get the size of these busses! Our theory in beginning full timing in June is that we’ll find a nice park that fits us in the general area we’d like to visit, and then use the CRV to get around to smaller towns that may not accomodate a bus.

Ii have never found a place on key west itself. Boyd’s is the closest. However fitting there is tough, and you are very crowded. At mile marker I believe 14 is Blue Water Key, this is a very nice place. http://www.bluewaterkey.com/

With 6 8D batteries 1 cruise air would run about 6-7 hours at night.The caculation I use is 255 amps X 6 batteries = 1530 X 50% draw down =765 divided by(120 volts divided by 12 volts=10)=76.5 amps avaliable divided by cruise air amp load 11 =6.95 hours.The caculation does not include the efficency of the inverters or the time that the cruise air is not running or other electrical loads like refigeration.I was surprised to see the corrosion on the terminals,when I get the batteries out I will inspect them and try to find the leak.Because Liberty uses Cruiseairs that blow hot air under the coach and the Generator also blows the radiator discharge under the bus The batteries take a lot of heat during the summer dry camping,also the batteries are fitted in a very tight area that has limited ventilation.

Tom,
Did the stacker trailer come with it? If not, you can leave it at my house while you’re out of the state.

Mr. Mark
In my opinion:Why don’t you buy yourself 5 Monaco’s for the same price you would give
for a Prevost. forget about a Prevost as it will not work for you. You are a Monaco guy. I really believe you are here
to give the people a heart burn with all your trolling. -
Robert, those don’t appear to have any downward directed LEDs. So, they will have to benefit from the reflectors in the fixtures. The good news is those look narrow enough that it may just work. The bad news is I’m pretty sure you will end up with very limited illumination directly under the fixtures.
Let us know how they work. It might be good to compile a list of suppliers of LEDs that we know work well in the horitonal and vertical mount fixtures and which work with a specific dimmer (not all dimmers work the same).
I think these are the ones I have G-4 Horizontal Mount These do have a 3 stage dimming capability in my CC. FWIW, the CC dimmers dim regular bulbs somewhere around 6 steps, so they are not the same. I’ve been using these well over a year and they have worked flawlessly.
Tom, thanks for the lesson on how to insert a link. Many of us would have never guessed that you MUST highlight text in the note to activate the “insert link” function.

That may be it Joe, the weight difference? I guess the Generator end could be heavier than the front of the engine itself. If air leaks down, the Gen end seems to be the first to drop.

Mine is the same, has charger for engine battery’s it’s plugged in to AC outlet next to it also, it has on off switch and breaker in side at panel

Al,
Thank you very much for checking that out for me. I saw two buttons on each side of the steering wheel but had no clue as to what they were for as they are not labeled. Darnit, I wish I knew that while taking the test drive. Last night, I tried googling Volvo dashboards but didn’t have any luck yet. I want to see a full view so I can study it.
And to all…. I absolutely don’t want to compare my Monaco to a Prevost. The only thing I compared was the noise/rattle that was behind me while I was driving. I’m sure it could have been easliy fixed as something must have come loose or a person set somthing in a cabinet unsecured.
There is no way my coach compares to the quaility of a Prevost. I certainly can see the quaility in the Prevost chassis in every area of the coach and was very pleased with what I saw. It’s the few quirks with the seat and engine brake that I wish my salesman knew about. I bounced up and down like a jack-in-the-box in that air seat until towards the end it was secured.
The amount of space in the storage bays could make a nice small apt! In one bay, I would want double joey beds and maybe just one joey bed in the other bay. The built-in grill sounds interesting too and I do want an outside TV.

Here’s an FMCA article that puts a 2008 at 13′ 5″. I imagine by dumping the suspension I’ll pick up at a minimum 3″ of clearance. Does this sound about right? I imagine I can gain quite a bit more clearance by removing the KVH Tracvision and replacing it with something lower in profile – rf mogul or newer version of KVH TracVision???

Peter,
I may be interested in your old seats if they are light tan.

As a former owner of a Liberty Coach that others have said looked like a whorehouse I hope you realize we are breaking balls and are certainly not judges of what constitutes good taste. A good friend said it best when he stated “there is an ass for every seat”.
Those fireplaces often drove me crazy trying to figure out how they got the “flames” to look so real until I took a hard look at one and realized it appears to be a moving screen that makes a colored light source appear like the movement of flames.
It sure beats cutting and splitting wood, stacking it, loading the wood box, cleaning out ashes, etc. The only thing you cannot duplicate is how your eyes water when a puff of smoke comes out of the fireplace.
BTW, to those that have suggested how my previous Liberty looked, all I can say is I will have to take your word for what it looked like.
