Don, it is admirable you want to replace something that is not broke, but seal replacement is no assurance it will not leak.
I am either lucky or skilled because I have never had a seal I worked on leak, but I have replaced seals recently replaced by others because the replacement was leaking. In fact when I bought my current coach both drive axle seals had just been replaced and the passenger side had to be redone. It was leaking and only had 700 miles on it.

Great work and great post Don.

More stuff to look at.

I have see some do this by putting a block of wood under the dump hose creating a high enough hump to work the same way. Just be sure that you leave ONLY the grey open and to close it up a day or so before you are ready to dump your black so you can get a good flush.

From Robert Hitt, who provided a very comprehensive discussion about engine RPMs the bottom line is as follows:
[Hitt Robert] 2500RPM is not a good situation for this engine, at around 2300 DDC will code an engine over speed fault at 2500 you will receive the second fault. These will go inactive and be stored in the ECU
They are clearly warning you that 2500 could cause serious engine damage!
At 2500RPM and higher there is the possibility of pistons coming out the side of the block.

its like a home inspection. You pay and the results of the PPI are yours. If the seller pays – (not saying this would happen here) – many things important to you could be left out or overlooked.
And just to be facetious – but if someone said they didnt want to comment, not sure they would tell you why here.

I keep telling Al to get up to Coburg and get his next bus. There are several there according to the Marathon web site that would be a good fit for him. He keeps saying he is thinking about it…..

Watchdog.
The free batteries I get are used, worn out Deka. But as long as the generator will start I’m OK. He keeps telling me I’m getting a good deal.

Don’t leave yourself open like this . There are some not as honest as Tom. He is the official dues collector. Method of payments vary depending upon how clean you get his coach.
There is some guy on here claiming he is entitled to the money, pay him no mind. He has been see hanging around ETLC asking for fuel money to get him up the hill. This is hear say however.
Sorry guys, the Christmas spirit got to me

Chuck, No personal experience with tank expansion or use of the wrong temperature pressure valve. But on XL coaches with the Raritan HW tanks there have been several owners who had the problem who experienced the joy associated with having to cut a wedged HW tank into pieces to remove it from the bay.
I think that model coach has such limited bay height it doesn’t tolerate much tank expansion before the tank is wedged in place.

Based on the picture, the chassis battery bank is not being charged. The 24 volt is also not being charged. The 12 volt gauge indicates the 12 “breakoff” of the bank. The Vanner maintains this part. Check the alternator for output. If it is not charging check to be sure the alternator is being asked to charge, sense or “excite” wire. It may be hte alternator of a connection.

We need way more information. First, is this chassis or house DC voltage? Does the coach have one or two alternators?
Have you verified voltages at each battery set using a voltmeter? By voltages I mean with the engine off and the engine running.
All the ammeter is going to tell you is the amount of current you are drawing from the batteries. It is unlikely to tell you if the batteries are being charged.

Good stuff Jeff:
Only problem (for me) is now I have more projects, copper line at aux comp, fender stands… LOL
Jon:
You noted you now change the tires @ 7 yrs after visiting the factory. What did you learn at the factory that changed your schedule?

Yes. It’s especially nice when the poster that first posts his/her issue lets us know the whys where’s and the final outcome.
