    I believe that issue was addressed, but I don’t believe anyone went back and corrected all the posts or thread affected by that issue which is different than the one in which the lack of a file name is causing the current grief.

    Steve, call Brian Philips of Aero Cosmetics (800.927.4929). He makes the cleaners, waxes and polishes that are used by the Air Force One Squadron. Plus he owns a 2006 XLII.

    He showed me at Christmas how to remove water spots from the stainless without leaving swirls and marks from doing so.

    Brian or David will answer the phone. You want to talk to Brian.

    All the best.

    Thx Al … But no doubt Tom has a point that they wired your OTR differently since the load is much more. But hopefully your driver side, where my problem occurred, would be wired the same. Read your Thread and it may indeed be the dash air box. Prevost quoted me $800, but I’ll wait ti it fails since it’s working now. I’ve not had any issues with the speed of the fan, just it turning off on its own. I don’t think it would be the temperature sensor since that would not turn the entire unit off.

    Our web guru knows of the problem. Tom is blaming Apple products.

    Jimmy…

    I note your Orange Beach and Gulf Shore references… I, too, like LSU and have recently become an Alabama fan… not so much because of their coach but because of friendships with guys who have played there…

    We stay at Terry Cove at one of the privately owned spots that we lease from time to time… it is very, very nice…

    Are you close to there?

    We really like the grill that I believe is called the Ship’s Harbor Grill (?) down the street from Terry Cove …

    … fabulous food… and a few great boats….

    We also go to Fairhope a lot and have recently stayed at the “Coastal Haven” R V park which was convenient to the activities and was acceptable for a short stay…. clean place and well kept… very convenient

    Perhaps we might touch base on our next visit there?

    My email is rsirmons@comcast.net

    Tom

    i pretty sure “Betty is accurate”. I’ll regret saying this if Pam reads the forum. Pam takes long showers and uses up a significant amount of H2O.

    Congrats Per and Margrit. Beautiful Bus, welcome to the Marathon Family, we look forward to meeting the both of you. This web site and the PC community that Jon and Tom have put togeather for all of us sure makes it easier for us Prevost owners and buyers to make better and more informed decisions when purchasing or maintaining our coaches. Many Thanks.

    Actually, this winter has been mild. Hardly any snow so far, and no sub-zero temps. Jon, I am far enough from the road that I don’t hear or see the plow…..thought I would clarify that. The house has creaked a couple of time though….

    Mark,

    That answer regarding valves should be addressed by a late model H3 Liberty conversion owner. Or Liberty. Your valves are likely identified with tags which define their purpose but you may have to remove the rear fender to get at them or see them because I think your Webasto is over the driver’s side drive axle. I don’t have a clue where the Prevost loop and shut off valve would be.

    Valve locations are coach type and converter specific, and may even be specific to a particular model year.

    And to address Mike’s comment I probably have operated them all because I have to turn the handle on the valves 90 degrees to get them out of the way so I can polish the copper piping.

    maybe the check valve located on the compressor it self has failed. Not unusal. The whole air system is moisture sensative. A moist system produces what i call white rust (not ferous) but a white film that causes spools in norgren and othe air regulation valves to stick or fail. Aux air systems have the biggest impact on moisture induction into air system because of poor or no( not many with air dryer on aux air) air dryer control the moisture trapp in your picture needs to be drained often.

    November 6, 2015 at 8:27 am in reply to: I got a new Bumper Sticker …

    I was introduced to Prevost by a plumber. He had a nice shiney 40 foot Marathon. I had worked around him for 35 years knew him as a hard worker and master of his trade. A couple of years ago he decided to let me in on his secret. The secret was, he owned a Prevost and very few knew. I fell in love. After dreaming of owning one, creeping the Prevost Commnity page for a year my dream came true. Now I am in the same boat, bus stays in the barn, and very few know I have it. And as long as I own a business and have employees it will stay that way.

    This is nothing new for me, it is something I have had to live with many years when when it comes to cars, boats motorcycles, or anything else that is above and beyond what is needed to exist in life. I have been the subject of jealous conversation from customers and employees alike. I can’t own a Cadillac but I can own a $70,000.00 Suburban.

    But it is what it is, and I will have to say,after the know your Prevost I have met a wonderful group of folks. None of which I felt were snobs. I felt right at home with all. So when it comes to what people think of us Prevost owners…. Who cares

    Steve. ( White Trash with Money 🙂 )

    Bill wheel lifts have been around since 1990 so I do not know why Prevost would not have known that
