I sold my 1997 coach with non slide it was not on the market for one hour and it was gone Tom sold his no slide in hours of hitting the market . Then I bought a 2003 liberty non slide and Tom bought 2002 Marathon non slide they do sell and are being bought, When I sold mine I was firm on the price and did not move because it was in great shape .

Replacing seals on the drive axle r simple and pre lubing the bearings r simple , if that tech worked for one of my company’s , He would get his walking papers for that stunt unacceptable work even if they stand behind the poor work it’s still the company’s fault and the tech should be held accountable for the poor work, we all make mistakes but that one no way . R techs do those every day simple shit!!!!!!!! If the tech did not know to pre lube bearings what next leaving the old rubber washer from the old oil filter on or not at all can’t be trusted !!!!!!!!!

It is normal to get a little water out of the pressure relief valves when driving on a Marathon. This is because of the temperature that the engine coolant is at (180-200). The 12V heat or 12V water heat switches activate the Webasto in a Marathon. A Marathon will either have a 120V water heater switch, or it will only have the breaker in the 120V panel. As Tom stated, it is a good idea to shut off the breaker if the coach is plugged in unattended. Also if the coach is equipped with an Insta-Hot in the galley that should be turned off as well because it can be damaged if run dry.

Prevost does not differentiate between 40 and 45 foot coaches for hitch limits.
The X3 compared to the XLII was to make all conversion chassis the same. Prior to the X3 the entertainer chassis and the motorhome chassis had the different wheelbases (and rear overhang).

Sounds great G-man.
Now is a great time for you to create your own blended maintenance schedule so you have one place to refer to for scheduled maintenance on all your various components and systems. It would be nice if everything had the same interval between services, but since that is not the case you will benefit from a master list of all required service events.
It is the only way I can keep track of everything from chassis lubes to air system service to oil changes to transmission service to generator service to AC filter changes, etc. etc.

I will have to look closer, have not been back up on roof yet, but believe they are plumbed down via rubes and drain underneath bus, I think Marathon was pretty slick with how they did it, I will try and take a look for you.

Dan,
Where in Titusville are you? We are in TGO if you need anything let me know.

dang. Mine only goes to 150. Do they even make a half inch drive that does 500 ft lbs? I can’t find anything over 250.

I have zero clue about how Sub Zero performs on your inverter output, but the fact the refrigerator works well on inverter I would be looking at either a problem with the Sub Zero (we have really been disappointed with ours) or the output of the inverter. It could be the inverter is experiencing a problem and its output is compromised or as Liberty suggests the Sub Zero could have an issue. Our problems have related to the condenser fan which twice now has failed with intermittent operation driving us crazy.
I doubt if it is because the inverter has modified sine wave output.

Don’t know what your noise issue could be, but the SMX, especially the one you have is great, controlling all HVAC. You are aware that the SMX controls, 110v heat, Webasto as well as A/C and Heat Pump?
Sound like one of your A/C’s is set on “continuous” and the others on “intermitent.” On continious, the fans never shut off and on intermitent, the fans quit with the compressor and then cycle just like a home unit. I can scan and send you those instructions from my manaul if you want. You can also change the temp spread to solve your 86/80.

Gil said, “Jon, you’re not eating. You don’t like crow?”
Jon said, “Gil, I love the CC bumper sticker. I really want a CC, but you know I can’t admit it”
BTW, Jon you shamed me in making a maintenance log from all the receipts I have. I have almost all receipts and records damn near dating back to the initial delivery.

Gil is right. Definitely LED is the way to go.

(CB location correction)
I mentioned in an earlier post that the CB in the Liberty was located in a compartment next to the driver’s seat. It’s actually between the driver’s seat and the closed compartment. Things kinda run together after a while.
I was looking at one of Liberty’s new coaches going through the pics…. and there it was, the CB next to the driver’s seat.
Boxcar…. perfect caption!

I have had the Trucker HD for 3 years, I really like it.
Height and length, have not put me on any roads that I should not be.
The “Lane” visual for turns helps on multi lane interstates.
