Tom’s right on.
It looks like a levee but not to control water..
Jeff told me there is a lot of old highway debris buried there.

There is a black plastic arm on the inside of channel….put your finger on it and push up or down then pull drawer out. To reinstall line up drawer slide with cabinet slide on both sides then push back in.

We had the Aqua Hot system on our previous coach that had the ‘two element’ set-up. It worked great.
Ours could heat the coach electrically if the outside temp wasn’t too cold (40’s?). Otherwise, it was nice to heat the hot water without turning on the diesel.
Safe travels,

Andrew, like you I shopped for a bunk coach and spent quite a bit of time looking at various models, manufacturers and converters. With bunks there will be trade offs as the space needs to come from somewhere. In most cases I found that closet and drawer spaces were the casualties of a bunk floorplan.
Marathon has done an impressive job with its bunk floorplan in its newer coaches and that was a strong factor when selecting my coach. The floorplan in my coach delivers more than ample storage space and the casualty is the half bath. While some cannot live without the extra toilet, it was a compromise I was willing to make.
I’m going one step further and will be doing the Marathon bunk mod where the top bunk will be on a track at the head and foot that will allow it to lower with a press of a button. This way, when only one bunk is needed, it will have quite a bit more headroom and be more of a compartment than a bunk. When two bunks are needed, a press of a button places it back into the standard configuration. A closet rod can be installed in the ceiling that allows the space to become a huge closet and it can be folded out of the way when used as a bunk. Its an interesting design. The drawback of this mod is that 5″ of length will be lost for the mechanisms…so I simply won’t bring tall people on the bus! In a pinch, they can sleep on the jack knife sofa.

I will echo what Tom said above. The fastest way to destroy a tire is driving on low pressure and the best way to know pressure is dropping is with a TPMS.

Mine only has 88,000 miles on it and so far no oil leaks. Have noticed the last time or two out if you idle it will throw a spot or two out breather tubes. No leaks on engine. Still silver.

Any idea how many PC members are attending Bella Terra rally ?

I really don’t think you can nickel and dime annual maintenance or initial cost. After extensive renovation by Prevost last year, we just spent $2,500 on replacing the OTR suction valve. Some items will not show up until you have had the coach for a while. Unless you buy a coach like Peter’s and some others that have had meticulous care and (I assume) the documentation to prove it, plan on spending $25-50k initially, and another $20k over the next year. Radiators, CACs may leak, tie rods wear out etc. There will always be something that needs fixing beyond oil changes.

So this afternoon, I was looking at the map and wondering if highway 33 that branches off from highway 20 (at Sugar City) would be a good route. We’re thinking to be out west anyway, so would probably approach the area on I-15 from the Pocatello area, then Idaho Falls where we’d pick up 20. Also, does anyone have thoughts on a campground location before or after the rally? Linda

Quiet hrs.? You can barely hear our gens run outside much less from inside any of our coaches. Geo.

I have a “Star Coach” it’s perfect for what I do with it. One other consideration is that “entertainers” seem to have the black & grey tank dumps on the curb side while most MH’s have them on the driver side. It can be a little bit of a PIA for me to dump (and use the “full” hook-ups) at some campgrounds.

Maybe I was not clear, I ment the UV protectant material kind, my bad.
