    Davy,

    If yours is a fantastic fan, you should contact them. They have a great history of standing behind their products.

    On one of our previous coaches they sent out a replacement fan with out question or returning of the problem

    unit. As far as the Maxx air units, they attach to the fan unit and do not penetrate the roof. If you go up on the

    roof, be carefull and try to stay on the cross member support ribs. Roofs are not for walking on.

    There are no resorts, either. Not even close. But if all you want is a good nights sleep, there are a couple of campgrounds in nearby Clearwater. The place is called Clearwater RV Resort (not) located at 2946 Gulf to Bay Blvd. – We have stayed there once for several nights and it was ok. We had a site at the back of the campground. Do not remember anymore but would have been from 158 to 163 – You park on grass and it is fairly level. FHU with 50 amps.

    If you need any work done on your coach, then try Parliament Coach in Clearwater. If you spend some money with them, you can stay on one of their FHU sites, of which they have 7.

    Cheers,

    Ronald

    How are you plugged in? Are you using the cord reel with and adapter, and if so do you know the adapter has continuity? If you are using a 30 amp power cord plugged into the starboard or port side receptacle, is the switch on the transfer switch box set to the proper outlet? It can select from port, starboard or cord reel and has to match where the power comes into the coach.

    Andrew is a good guy, I purchased my 15 King Aire from him. He had me drive the 16 Emearld this past Saturday.

    He is carrying the Emearld line from John Walker. I did not ask if he can get the Outlaw.

    Or we make up enough stuff, like the blind squirrel that once in a while finds a nut, that eventually something works.

    Dentalguy,

    It would be best to add a signature line with your Converter so folks can help with a specific vintage.

    Your name would also help.

    I’ll let the OTR guys answer the question.

    As I said, if the tank is aluminum it will have a polished stainless steel skin bonded to the exposed side. If it is stainless the end of the tank itself will be polished.

    If in doubt have someone that can tell the differences between the materials by looking advise the tank material.

    But if someone is interested in purchasing a Liberty the tank should not be a deal breaker. If it is aluminum it will have to be replaced at some point, so negotiate the price to reflect that.

    Here is some free advice: If your tank does need to be replaced, replace it with one of anything other than aluminum.

    It would help everyone trying to make recommendations if you could get us any idea of your budget. There is such a variety in years and conversions that it is hard to make recommendations if we have no idea of your budget. Some general observations: the H3 sits lower than the floor of the rest of the coach, and they have a wall behind the driver’s seat, which limits the recline for thee seat. I had to take the headrest off to get the seat to recline to my liking. The X models are not as limited in that regard.

    If you are buying new, there are fans of each conversion brand on this forum, and we will all tell you why our brand is the best! Of course we will still do that if you are buying used!

    A person who works with metal can look at a product made of metal that has not been painted or plated (it is raw) and can identify what it is. But unless someone does work with metals it is hard to determine what material they see. My reference to the polished ends of the tanks was to help those who cannot determine if they have a stainless steel or aluminum tank. The replacement tanks of stainless will not be polished on one end because the polished end that was glued to the aluminum tank will be bonded to the new tank just to save labor cost.

    It is difficult to determine if a tank is stainless steel or aluminum, but it is very important to know because as can be seen above an aluminum tank only needs to be in service for a short period of time before it can begin to fail.

    Jon just so you know the new stainless tanks do not come polished so a lot of times the polished ends are taken off the old tanks and reglued on the new stainless tanks !!!!!!

    Marathon used plastic mostly

    Edit. That is why I replaced mine with a stainless tank and got rid of the bullshit aluminum tank , now fresh is stainless and the black and grey are stainless also never to have a problem again , that’s the way it should have been done in the beginning !!!!!!!!!

    Hope everyone truly has a great time in Bella Terra…

    Our belated plans were washed out with 20 inches of rain and many of our church class members being flooded… they take priority… with us ….as well as all of the PC group I am sure…..wherever you live….you do the same…

    Houston is a great, great city but very, very flat… Being 60 miles inland, we are only at 45 feet elevation… across the entire area….We have had THREE 500 year floods in the last 60 months… so, the history books are being rewritten as we observe what development can do to nature’s normal ability to drain areas… the facilities designed to do the work of drainage are very efficient but the natural drainage bayous and rivers of nature are not suffcicient to carry the load so amply and quickly provided… so, we see flooding in areas never before flooded… (if you have wondered how the flooding happens here)…

    Our back gardens became a 250 foot square lake… about six inches deep… one of the interesting things was that in the center of the “lake” is a 40,000 gallon pool that is now a superb color of green mud… actually, we are fortunate and know it… it can be cleaned….

    But, in reality, there isn’t much that can be done when billions and billions of gallons of water fall within a very brief period… our home received 12 inches within about five hours… that is so heavy, you cannot see through it across the yard… much less 20 inches during that same time period… we feel for those less fortunate..,.

    Hopefully we can make one of the future events…

    Very best and be thankful,

    Pres

    IPAD’s or some other brand of controled upgrades get to be almost a necessity at some point in a coach. The panels used in the coaches will at some point have the screens fade and you will loose the ability to see it. Next we upgrade TVs or get rid of the VCR and go with Blue Ray players, or in some instances we remove the CD player and install 8 track players and a record player. With all this then we have to (if we want to still control the coach through crestron) get into programing and upgrades…With technology change then we also have the ability to add to and customize functions within a coach…
