    Jon, before you get finished with the interior, here is an unbelieveable sound deadening material. 1/8 inch rubber type material equal to 12 inches of poured concrete in noise attenuation. Sorry about responding late, but just saw this for some strange reason. Gonna try it when redoing the generator box.

    I for one would be reluctant to make a special exhaust stack to route the exhaust up to roof level or above. I have zero objection to running a generator 24/7, but not in the proximity of other coaches or people. And I don’t know how others feel, but when I am parked I prefer to use all the features my coach has rather than sacrificing any of the creature comforts so I would need a generator.

    This I believe is the correct bag for the Gen, at least the Gen bags on mid to late ’90s Royales

    Mark – No thanks, but I know the thought was there..

    Will – On two occasions the tranny was in neutral and the parking brake on with high idle. Does that count?

    Jon – The extra 3 hours was not a smiling experience, if you think peope are stupid at 70MPH, the weaving and cutting at 10 MPH will have you getting out the blood pressure cuff.

    thanks jon. i made sure i installed the new ones oriented in the same manner as the old ones based on the layout of the internals (seemed to be the same).

    BTom…as we both have the same year bus your Marathon AUX tank is behind the left front fender and then behind a narrow panel. I would at least take a look at it. If its original you can bet its full of rust pieces. Ours was full of junk and when drained would plug up.

    The original was 3 + gallon. Grainger has what they advertise 5 gallon but I believe an oversized 4 gallon which is close to the old as I could get. The deal maker was the correct pipe fitting outlets. It fit and works much better now. Unable to find aluminum tank which would be a better choice, believe me I tried.

    I posted pictures of tank base change..that turned out not to be a big deal.

    Jeff,

    Since you are in the mood to answer questions How do I remove these light fixtures. The gold ring will pull down about an 1/8″ and stops I was afraid to pull on it very hard. The light bulb wires are broken off in it and I need to repace it or fix it..

    jeff is correct, as usual. however, even afer being showed and trying many times, i just pull out the folding stool and do it by hand. much easier.

    Thanks Geo and Diane. I am sure clean filters are a must but, do you have problems finding some tech to charge the system correctly?

    Larry,

    Just as Geo stated the correct freon charge is critical to get ice cold air…I believe a lot of complaints come from folks that just don’t understand that and the importance of clean filters… I clean mine 3 times a year.. I think that’s probably an overkill but twice is needed for sure… I think some people think once a year is okay and it might be depending on the exposure to different environments. Everytime I clean my filters they are dirty but not filthy.

    Cheers, Diane

    I suspect the screen door solution will have to come from the converter or Prevost. Either a screen door inside the existing door, or something that slides or rolls out from one of door jams.
