    Les, just swing by Mark’s place when you go through the Dallas area. He has a really cool buffer, his XL looks like it just came off the show room floor. I’m sure he’d demonstrate how well it works by polishing your coach.(-:

    Here’s another trick you can use if you don’t want to change out the gauges. I had dim lighting on my 97 Marathon, so I removed all the 24 volt gauge mini bulbs and replaced with 12v. Now before you go nuts thinking I lost my mind, it’s a simple matter of turning the dimmer all the way down and then ease it back up until you get 13 -14 volts and then mark the setting on the knob. Lights were nice and bright, made a big difference. Of course if you sell the bus, better tell the buyer not to crank up the dimmer.:)

    Those little tiny bulbs are 12 or 24.

    I just purchased this DI unit from On The Go which is supposed to provide spotless rinse water for around 9 per gallon.

    Tri-Bed Deionizer Standard Model

    This system was designed for a user requiring large quantities of pure water with limited space thus demanding the system to be extremely portable and compact. The fact that the system will also produce DI water at the lowest cost per gallon provides an additional benefit related to return on investment and ongoing operating cost. Made up of one ¼ cubic foot tank of virgin cation resin and two ¼ cubic foot tanks of virgin anion resin this deionizer will produce approximately 2 times the amount of water as the dual tank deionizer. Stage 1 is the cation tank and stages 2 and 3 are anion tanks. This system needs an area of 30″ wide by 22″ high by 10″ deep for hook-up. At 54 pounds, moving the unit is no problem. Comes complete with the deionizer, 4′ high pressure hose, hand-held TDS meter, shut-off valve, and a cap/plug for the inlet/outlet.

    Part Number: OTG2-TDI
    Design: Tri-Bed System
    Size: 22″ x 6.75″ each
    Weight: 18 lbs each
    Capacity: 0.25 cubic feet
    Tank: Tri-Tank
    *Rinses: Approximate # of rinses before recharging, assuming TDS of 250 PPM: Car – 185; RV Class A – 30

    View our capability table for more information
    Warranty: 1 Year Limited Warranty
    Meter: Portable TDS Hand-held Meter
    FlowRate: Less than 2 gallons/minute for best performance & effectiveness
    Connector: Polypropylene Cam Lever

    This is the DI system I have for rinse. Spray with city water, brush with soapy water, rinse with DI, about 95% less

    water spots. I use the mist setting on the nozzle, included.

    About 25 rinses before gauge displays recharge neccessary

    Model DIC-20 http://www.crspotless.com

    FYI …..available at local Costco warehouse appox $100 less.

    Did you ever think we were missing a few brain cells?? Sometimes I feel overwhelmed! But sure feels good when it comes together.. Down side is don’t have the luxury /access to some of the high quality materials available and in some cases $$$$ to purchase them… Upside I do know the Dumbass that built the thing and how he did it when something goes wrong…So life is a trade off and we all live to a level in life that we can be happy with—Seems like I do envy those shinny new ones but realize that I would need to take it to the dealer to get some High Tech breakdown fixed that would be a bank breaker for me. Engine or something major I’d load it up on wrecker and send it home and fix or if over 1500 mile out maybe bring engine( I have spare) to it and pay to have it changed.. That is the real life I live in…. Enough reality check—-maybe we need to say it once a year or so…. Im finding out we are not much differant that many of the store bought owners… Glad for that fellowship!!

    That was harsh! Good grief Will, Jon and I have Liberty’s, stink is unacceptable. Now Jdub and Mango are Marathon guy’s, so I’ll stop right there…

    All of this stink harassment coming from a CC guy, that should get Gil fired up.

    Thats great to hear that Prevost will stand behind what they do. Good job Jon & Tom for your quick response to a problem. Hope and pray that all goes well with you at your treatments at Duke. Can Liberty give ya a little insight on this air leak?

    mbrund,

    Thanks for your reply… I guess I didn’t make it clear but he swapped the Black Water Sensor to the Grey Water and it didn’t work there either and the Grey Water sensor did work on the Back Water location so we assumed that the Balck Water Sensor was bad. The red lights are lit to the full mark all the time but only on the Black Water Sensor.

    Your information as very informative and I thank you for that.

    A minor correction: The Prevost to which I referred did not slide off the hill, it just got stuck in the mud. Not really a big deal, it happened to several RVs that day.

    The doctor told me this evening that most of the stitches in my scalp will be covered by a new toupee from the Hair Club. Also most of the swelling is expected to resolve itself within the next ten days however I may walk with a bit of a limp. I bought a tub full of leeches to get rid of the bruising…

    Common guys, lighten up! Life is good, have some fun and remember, “There is something about a Muntz TV”

    Thom, we called them SLUF, self loading ugly freight…and thats the truth!

    Ron, I’ve seen a motorized and steerable tongue wheel on a stacker and watched the coach owner move the trailer through the park to the storage lot. I thought it was a good idea for someone that is going to trailer a lot. This isn’t like the one I saw which was permantly mounted, but it gives you something to consider.
