Art,
It was in WI, has 115K miles.

Ya, i know. The Yellowstone bus at 50 yrs was cheap compared to adding tires, fluid, and new injectors once home. Now wecare bucking for another. Good figure

Don’t feel bad, I made the “calculated” move to an airstream interstate, powered by mercedes. Bought it preowned….not from Roger. Cost per foot I think, exceeds any prevost…….there is no logic to prices. But I MISS my “H”

I agree with Don and Jon. Companies spend a lot of money to keep their electrical/computer equipment cool. I routed a portion of one cruisair output into the bay with the inverters in addition to the fans already there. No such thing as keeping electrical equipment too cool or too clean. Mike

Don’t believe Tom. I spent so much money with him he could afford to buy 7 Prevost coaches.
And those Li batteries at the price shown are a steal. Is the price for real??????

Also, could be the 3 position front/off/rear switch above the engine on the side of the electrical box. Again, call PrevostParts.

That’s what I needed I just wanted someone who used them to tell me they are all right thanks for your information and assistance.

ART, Glad you are well. I enjoy reading your post and get a lot of useful information. Keep them coming. I changed out all of my lights to LED’s per your instructions. Thanks

I see that the Bus-Kote you used has ceramic in it. That’s supposed to be the “good stuff”.
How did you sand? By hand or a power sander of some type? Just enough sanding to remove the clear coat and rough of the surface?

Less then $10K…..parts and labor….they do all the programming. If you have Marathon Coach with Techlink ….no hassles and warranty.
Marathon owners know that their Techlink Cabin Management System has two computers. One is call the waterbay board and the other is called the generator bay board. Blow up a generator board messing with inverter and you spend a third of that number above in Marathon Bucks.
Marathon does not have a Victron Energy solution. If they did, they would have installed Victron. What they have is a Magnum Sensata Technologies solution because they found it to be the most capable and compatible to support their coach owners with technology they have tested.

Detroit 2 strokes are unit injection (1 injector per cylinder, camshaft timed and operated),so there are no adjustments.

What you guys are trying to figure out is almost impossible trying to match 3 or 4 different converters and expecting same results.
What the park advertises does not have much say as to what happens at the pole. You can do your own diligence by verifying what’s coming in to the bus from the pole either thru Marathon Techlink or your surge protectors. If you have 118v coming in on both legs thats good power. In the summer with alot of coaches hooked up you could see 110v or less even under 100v and that can be an issue.
When you know these numbers it’s up to you how you manage your power and how your converter spread the big power items on each leg. You need to know what items in your bus are on each leg.
Also the only bus you will see with 5 roof airs is an entertainer and anything pre 2000 probably has 3 roof airs, all the rest usually have 4 after that.
There is an unwritten rule that got lost in this thread. Regardless if you have a 13.5 or 15k roof air only run 3 on the pole and do what you want on Generator.

My problem randomly stopped so no clue what happened. Completely forgot I even had the issue.

Wonder how this is going to work. On Federal Highways, ie I-xx or US-xx or roads that have Federal money in them, thru grants, etc Federal law prevails over State law. A good example are state length laws.
Plus they have a 40% opacity limit, I suspect most will pass that
