    It is all for show. The parts of the plumbing that are not copper are plastic.

    But don’t tell any Liberty guys I just said that. They are pretty proud of their copper pipes.

    Add a signature so folks know what you’re driving and yes there are other options. Are you trying to get the repairs done in FL or are you flexible?

    We’ve used our Girard awnings in the rain. I was pleased to see them shed water like a duck’s back during a recent downpour. I was expecting to need to close them based upon travel trailer experience with a CareFree awning, but it wasn’t necessary. They shed all the water and there was no pooling.

    That said, I don’t like leaving them out in th rain, but sometimes you just need to be outside and dry in the rain…

    The bacteria that are in those pipes will be scary. Unless the owner used clorox on a regular basis, you wouldn’t believe what can come out of those jets.

    The new thing now are the air only jacuzzi tubs (had two installed) in the S and B. Only air is forced through the jets (no water). Once the water is drained from the tub, the system comes back on to dry out the pipes. These were invented for hospitals.

    A shower is a good thing.

    Bill, just went through the same thing. I was told to hold my button for 3.5 to 5 min. Bus started right up from being so dead the door lock buttons wouldn’t even light up. Geo.

    Should the Norgren Valves be put on the “Maintenance Schedule” to replace every XX months/years?

    Sounds like you have the correct wrench, the problem may be the direction you trying to turn it. To open turn it clockwise, opposite of most things in life. ONLY turn it 3.5 turns (one turn = 360 degrees). If you go further you will start to close it again. I believe it seats at both ends of its stroke. But when you are ready to close, counter clockwise is correct.

    April 10, 2015 at 10:33 pm in reply to: Webasto vs AquaHot

    I have had both units , if you are dry camping I think the Aqua hot is better it can run off the fuel in bus tank it does not draw that much power when on battery and can heat the hot water it will not take much power , it will use more power if you use the heat inside the bus, the webasto pump runs all the time on the liberty and will use a lot of power if dry camping better to use gen in that case, and it uses fuel from bus but it uses more power because pump runs as long as the webasto is on , and aqua hot when bus is parked inside you can use the electric to heat the tank and water and keep water bay warm I like that also,, hope this helps!!!!!

    Tom:

    So the Aqua-Hot has four sources of heat? Engine heat, 12/24volt DC electric from the batteries, 120volt AC electric from the generator (maybe from the inverters), and from burning diesel fuel (from the main diesel tank on the bus) in the Webasto diesel boiler.

    The Aqua-Hot system has a coolant supply that is independent of the Detroit Diesel engine coolant system, except for maybe a heat exchanger between the two independent systems.

    The Webasto system is tied into the Detriot Diesel engine coolant system, they share the same coolant and has a 12/24 volt DC pump to circulate the coolant through the coach and the engine.

    Do I have this correctly?

    Finally … did you notice that the OP is looking for a coach like yours? I hope you didn’t miss that.

    Phil,

    All materials are 3M. Went with the heavy duty vinyl which is garunteed for 7 years on materials.

    If you can get the color codes of your paint, they can print the vinyl to match. Basically they print it with the correct color, then laminate it with the clear vinyl so the colors dont fade. The clear is super thick and will really keep the top edge of the bus from fading any more. Will try to get some pics of that up in the next week.

    Couple other guys here at the RV resort checked out what I had done and are already making appointments for their coaches. The sun just beats the top edges of these things.

    Bill,

    I saw you there Tuesday when I was having my A/C condenser replaced. I could feel your pain just talking to you about it.

    You are in good hands with Prevost Jax. Hang in there!

    Almost all XLII coaches have a small dimple in the SS near the bay door edge. It is caused by lowering the bay door and allowing it to be pulled to one side….Just saying..
