Have a little 100 acre place here and raise Registered Longhorns as a money losing sideline. Took the bus, instead of a 1 ton, and a bumper pulled stock trailer and delivered 5 calves to West Texas(430 miles). Might as well be comfortable right! Stopped and dieseled up and and ole Gent asked me if I always hauled cattle with bus and trailer. I said no I’ve got 6 more in the bus and these guys in trailer started acting up and I put um in the trailer.

The cynic in me suggests a clerk in HF is not who I would be getting advice from. Especially when the advice might have fatal consequences if wrong.

Awaiting call back. Parts guy was checking stock. If I don’t hear back today will call him back tomorrow. I’m sure the $141 online price is old-Prob the $149 price you remember. Anything under the $244 I found is big savings. Thanks Bob

Member name with about same system. ( Depewtee ) Bags never inflate? If you can get it up on boards and safetly blocked. or wheel turned so you can check out air leak it will probably help or fix your problem. Could be as simple as a disconnected rod to the front leveling valve. As a word of caution never get under a bus without blocking it up! It only has to fall once! Don’t trust a jack.. Bob

Joe,

You probably already know the battery drill. Charge them fully until float and then unhook the cables. Your resting voltage should be around 12.8 +/-. Then load test to make sure they’re good. If you need batteries, just let me know.

I did get a file folder full of the maintenance records. It may not be everything but I have a lot back several years.

The coach got some routine maintenance, but was not used much the last 2 years. I expect to have some “put power and load back on it” type failures. I think I had one of those with one of the roof AC Sunday. I’m sure it was working when I bought the coach but it now blows room air, no cooling. It was over 100 outside. I expect it cycled on and the load did it in. I’ll have to get that checked out.

Tires are good, and all batts replaced in late 09. Should be good a few more years. I plan to equalize them soon as I don’t think that has been done in a while if ever.

Oil was changed 5500 miles ago but also almost 3 years ago. It goes in Monday for an oil change filter change and Lube.

Transmission fluid and filter was changed about the same time to the synthetic fluid. It will need to be changed in another 5,000 miles.

Thanks

Thanks guys,

Looks like it is off to the big box tomorrow.

Al, we love the Marathon, but I do like those spiffy copper pipes on the Liberty.

Ha! Ha!

Thanks, Bob
