George,
I’m sitting at Marathon tonight–relocated here from Prevost last night. They fixed my Raspberry and replaced the bedroom Cruiseair. I’ve bounced between Prevost and Marathon for the last week lightening my wallet, so I’ll be heading back to San Antonio tomorrow morning–Margrit is getting lonely–couldn’t bring her due to medical and dental appointments. Sorry to miss you–hope to see you on the road at a later date! -
Ok, after a 4 hour parts hunting expidition, I actually found a local irrigation supply house with a couple of guys that really knew their stuff on misting systems.
I picked up all the parts to rebuild the misting system along with details on nozzles and flow rates as there are different ones. I will poost details when it is all done in case someone else has the same issue.
Fun stuff! I did however get everything in stainless steel so it should look pretty.

Mike, your friends ONLY issue is they bought a brand new one…New = at least a year getting bugs worked out. The higher end the more complex, the more complex the more issues. It is what it is. I betcha a Brand New Prevost will have it’s issues to deal with as well.There is NO imune structure with this much technology and systems, both mechanical and electrical regardless of the type or MFG.

The coach has been named “Olivia”. Perhaps he will post in response to yours.

I’ve never visited this resort and have only heard positive things about this property.
Based on reading this thread and making a few assumptions, my takeaway is the property owners go through some sort of HOA approval prior to purchase and the make/model/year/condition of the coach is part of the process as is (most likely) credit and background checks. I’ll add that an approval process for prospective purchasers is not unsual with some real estate/country club developments as is maintaining a home to a specific standard throughout ownership. If I’m reading this correctly, the property owners’ coach is most likely grandfathered beyond the ten year rule, but it’s likely conditions apply.
From what I’ve read in this thread, users that are renting spaces must adhere to the governing documents, but with most situations, there’s most likely provisions where execptions may be granted by a board, the property owner or governing body.
In Florida, there’s no shortage of “private” country and golf clubs that have similar rules for its owners.
Is this a fair assesment?

Your primary and secondary gauges are for brakes and have no bearing on aux air. The 3rd gauge should be reading the Prevost aux tank air. The wet tank does not have an air gauge.

Yes, I went through a full reboot of the bus, shorepower off, all house and chassis batteries disconnected. Waited 20 seconds and connected the batteries again and reset the inverters. Everything is fine except those two light strings.
My guess is that I have a failed network output switch (TELN 1022). Leon at Marathon pointed me to FET-6, which I found in the rear closet. I opened it up, both internal fuses are ok, the supply voltage is 13V. I looked up the user manual for the TELN 1022 switch. It has internal override switches which are supposed to provide power output independent of the logic state, but in my case they had no effect.
Essentially my vintage of Marathon comes with a multiplexed network of programable input and output switches to manage lights and other devices. Must have been pretty state of the art in 1999. A vist to Coburg may be in order unless someone else has a bright idea.

How do you get to valve cover looks pretty tight?

Go to settings on your browser, and then to compatibility view. Add this page to the compatibility view and you are good to go.

Last time I weighed the coach, we were about 500 pounds overweight on the front axle, but since I did not have my stock of scotch in the rear bedroom closet when we weighed, I figure we are OK on the front weight!
-
The XLII also has a greater distance from the rear wheels to the rear bumper so you have more weight overhanging in the rear to offest the weight up front. Assuming the air bags are OK it is all about weight and balance.

KT,
Glad to hear you got that dealt with and for a great price. When customers such as yourself calls in to get a quote on a job like that, our approach is to give you the worse case scenario, and also the best case scenario. Since everyones bus is built a little differenently its sometime impossible to know exactly what space is provided (even with pictures provided) in anyone s bus. You just don’t know until you get it here. So we go out of our way to make sure you know, what you could be spending BEFORE you get here. We are NOT a bait and switch facility. And if we were, we probably would not have been around as long as we have. ****Clarification – I am not saying the establishment you went is in that category******
We recently had in Mr.Hanson out of Wisconsin for his tune up. Once we determined the engine did not need to be slid out, we got right to work. After a hour, we discovered one of the rocker arm buttons had failed. If that had not been discovered that could have done around $10,000 dollars of damage inside the engine. And don’t forget the tow bill on that as well. So we went ahead and replaced them all to be safe (per his approval and our recommendation)
Bob was pleased to get that taken care and was on his way the following day. I say all this to remind folks that its important to choose wisely where to spend your “bus money” and make sure you have a good understanding of what you could end up spending based on the worse/best case scenarios.

jon,
awesome and detailed response as always.
Through some research earlier today today I found that I would in fact have to manipulate the dip switches.
After further her reading I find that most are replacing their heart freedom 25’s with magnums. I’m going to consider that as well – as we have a brand new Samsung refrigerator and don’t love the idea of a non pure sine Invertor running it. That would have the added (albeit smalll) benefit of not having to remove the freedom remotes each time I bring it back from a trip…
im sure I’ll go the route of using the inverters and put them in a low amperage mode.
Thanks again for all all of the replys !!

Reese I think it is most all motor homes of any type have less counter space. My tiffin has a large a large pullout counter (basically all of the drawers on the end of the cabinets). Is is nice and usable, but still a far cry from what we are used to it at home. We try to keep things out away to have full use of what counter space we have. We are preparing for a little less with the Prevost we choose, but only because it doesn’t have that pull out. I have seen some nicely laid out kitchens with more space then we chose. The liberty elegant lady’s seem to have a couple layouts with a extra cabinet toward the entry door
also – if I get enlisted to help I will prep stuff on the table which is just opposite the kitchen counter. No problem.
