So if I understand what you are saying Bernie is that the yellow knobbed valve allows air from the Prevost accessory system to maintain pressure in the Marathon accessory system when the valve is closed (acting like a one way check valve), but will only allow air from the Marathon accessory system which is pressurized by the aux compressor to enter the Prevost side if the valve is turned? We know Marathon owners have posted by turninng the valve knob prioor to start up that is how they tighten their belts.

Or do Marathon coaches rely on the aux compressor for accessory pressure for the house even when the engine is running because it says not to open the valve unless the aux compressor fails?

A lot of folks read these posts and never question them so we have to be sure the correct information is posted here.

The life of an Amana refrigerator is inversely proportional to the amount of perishables stored within it.

Beer, soda, wine, water etc. which are items that last forever, with and without the cold, if they fill the Amana, it is presumed the refrigerator will never fail. If however the refrigerator is filled with fresh vegetables, milk, ice cream, lobster tails, shrimp, fish and steaks then its life is measured in weeks. The risk of failure increases significantly if the value of its contents is substantial.

I’m sure one would get in trouble running blue undercarriage lights on the highway. Not legal!

The lights I wanted were ones that would strobe and throb to the music, changing color and intensity with the rhythm. Did not go over well with Jeff

The LEDs are strips encapsulated in plastic tubes to protect them from the weather and road hazards. They should be reasonably durable.

Harry, have you tried Chrome Man on our advertisers ? Great guy ( Bill and Jean on the forum ) and knows his lights.

Found the following at the website for Veterans Funeral Care:

Benjamin Eugene Cummings III, of St. Petersburg, Florida, was born on April7, 1969 and passed away on July 23, 2018, in Clearwater, Florida. He was born in Parkersburg, West Virginia and graduated from Parkersburg High School in 1987. He was an excellent student.

After graduating, he went into the military, joining the United States Navy. Ben was fascinated with engineering and nuclear energy and worked on the USS Asheville. After completing his six years of military service, he left with an Honorable discharge. Ben continued as an electric engineer building and working on high-end motor coaches.

Ben lived his entire life with a sense of purpose, was a great son and an outstanding brother to his younger sister, Christi. On a more personal note, when not working Ben liked to have fun spending time with family and friends. He was very dependable and you could always count on Ben to provide an enjoyable get together. He loved being the “Grill Master”.

He is survived by his father, Benjamin Eugene Cummings, Jr.; mother, Deborah Mae Cummings; sister, Cristi Curd and her husband, Richard Curd; nephews, Erik, Aaron, Justin and Brandon Curd; and many friends.

Nationwide Travelers in Appleton WI had a modest fleet of Prevosts and provides maintenance for a number of Prevost operators in Wisconsin. Ask for Tom.

Jon, What is the maximum amps you can safely run on 50 amp plug in? I would like to run two roof airs . When I do it pulls 35.6 amps with nothing else on. Am I within safe limits running the two roof airs? Thanks

That’s usually the way NASCAR boys run. Pickups with carts in the back.

Prevost Houston upgraded mine a few years ago. Lights and labor were aminiscule cost. Think it took less than 2 hours and parts. The LED lights were cheap. They approached me as I was getting a level 3 service. They did have to minimally grind some of the fiberglass cap to fit new LED’s with a small air grinder. Those puppies are bright for sure.

Ron,

How about the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk? Is 707 HP enough for you?

They do seem to put the sensors in odd places . the front one by the windshield struggles with the heat, it is a dance to keep them adjusted.

Thanks Tom
