    Ahhhh come on Glen, you know you love it. As you know I had a problem with getting full 50 amp service to my bus. I’ll not go through the entire deal again. But suffice it to say it was frustrating and I spent a lot of time and frustration on it. It turned out much as I expected. It had nothing to do with my bus. It was the power setup in phase 2 of the park where my bus was parked.

    I do take into account that our buses are 91’s. But you know what I’ve found out! Buses, plastic coaches 1991 to 2018 etc all have stuff happen. Mine so far has not been big and booming but you do most of your own work! That can have its feeling of accomplishment but let’s face it… All of us get to a point one time or another of “Enough Already”!

    Just remember you built that big beautiful bus-barn and many of us live vicariously through you! Sorry Tom, vicariously means “yah baby”!

    Stay with it Glen you’re an encouragement to us all and have been a great help to me. You were even right once!

    I just heard back from Prevost Houston and the final bill is completely in line with their original estimate. I appreciate their integrity and thoughtful consideration of my viewpoint.

    It sounds to me like you have an ignition-triggered relay sticking, probably something for the DDEC. I tried looking through the Prevost wiring diagrams, but I have to wait for the engine control page to be emailed to me.

    Thanx guys. I do have an extra Norgren valve. I will check it. Maybe I’ll get lucky with it being the right one.

    Hi Les,

    My name is Jodi Morrison and I’m Billy’s assistant and Event Manager for the Lakeland Show. I apologize for any confusion the evite may have caused. This is simply a way of making sure we have all the information for you and your guest so that we are ready with everything you need upon arrival.

    The evite should have asked you if you were bringing a guest. This allows one evite to cover you and your guest in the same RSVP. If you indicated a guest, then I will ensure that you and your guest have all the credentials needed for the entire weekend. You won’t need to do anything else.

    Thank you so much for reaching out and if you have any further questions, please feel free to email me directly at jodim@carlisleevents.com

    I look forward to meeting you in a few short weeks!!

    Best,
    Jodi

    Harry. Your bus has notched panel behind bumper and possibly air activated louvers for your cruise airs to breath

    After replacing the TW-1 valve and pressurizing the system I was able to detect a small leak and a hairline crack in the pressure switch.

    Ordered a replacement but noted in the Hobbs spec sheet that the valve is pressure adjustable.

    Any ideas on the setting? Factory default is 8-10 psi.

    Ron,

    If you compare your Dutchstar to your Marathon for reference you will be in a world of trouble.

    My 07 had 4 SMX controls, you need to shut everything down and while plugged in you’ll find 1 SMX in the bedroom will control both heat sources. Turn each one on at high heat setting on the SMX and see which comes on. I had 2 SMX controls in the bedroom but only 1 operates bedroom heat for toe kick and 12v, the other is hall/ bedroom. Its probably the one next to your bed on the wall left side.

    3 of the 4 SMX controls will control both 12v and toe kick, bedroom, galley and salon but that’s mis-leading because the registers are in the cockpit at the bottom of the dash and top of stairs. On Marathons the electric and webasto (12v) registers are next to each other on the floor or close by. Remember both buttons in your closet have to be pushed for either to work.

    After you figure that out I would unplug and check which ones are on inverter power. That way you know how to stay warm

    It’s sounds confusing but get your wife who hears better than you and take 20 mins to figure this out.

    After you do that and understand the Marathon logic you will know why it’s done this way.

    Hope everyone is enjoying their family today.

    Later
