If you fill the small plastic bottle to the full line cold you will have coolant overflow after running several hours.
The small bottle serves holding extra fluid and expansion tank. Keep mine a couple inches from bottom.

It was a customer reacting to the bill for an oil change. Nothing more to see folks, move on.

I predict that Tom’s next coach will have slides…and soon too.

Jeff,
Peter said to change out the inverters to Magnums and you would no longer need the watchdog. Is that the case with the new Magnums you installed in mine? -
You probably have a leak in one of the hoses you cannot see on the back of the generator. Is it on a slide?
If so, check for the source of the anti-freeze.

Did it take long for the tech to get the engine out? I presume they disconnect the driveshart at the back (front?) of the transmission and pull the engine and trans back as one unit.

Tim,
If you don’t want to fool with it now, just unhook the feed line and put in a plug and forget it. I did that for several months until I got time to replace it. The light will come on when in reverse, but the door won’t open.

Thank you Jon, I appreciate your comments and I am doing exactly what you have said to do. I did not realize my post went through because I had not pushed the post reply so I also started a new thread which Jeff may see.
Thanks again I will get in touch with Liberty tomorrow.

Jon, It sounds like a Watchdog issue and I cannot offer any advice how to fix it. However if it were to happen to me I would just start the generator when I am stopped and dry camping and just let it run. That way I lose none of the creature comforts and I am not exposing myself to the frustration of not having the generator start when the batteries need a recharge.
When I am driving there is no need for the generator because the alternator on the engine is taking care of the battery charging and the OTR is keeping you comfortable.
If Jeff Rowe is reading this he may have some advice.

There is nothing down to earth about any of our coaches. And about that CC having so few problems, remember George the PC rules about shading the truth.
-
Haah!!! No revisions but it’s nice to see you harassing us poor orphans again. It’s about the only attention we get on PC since we have so few problems. I’ m trying to get my head around an air door over backup lights. I know Liberty owners need things like air doors , air powered bed lifts, rose dispensers and the like but I always thought Marathon guys were a little more down to earth.

We can get that spray painted on the back of your bus using a high grade of Krylon if you prefer.
I am too lazy to look it up or redo my list but at one time I think I added up all the costs to ownership which included fuel, insurance, and MY replacement schedule for fluids, filters and parts. For discussion purposes I think it came to around $1.25 per mile based on my annual average miles.
Regardless, until a coach gets pretty old, all cost of ownership is still far less than the annual depreciation.
When you get down to an age where the annual depreciation is less than $10,000 then, and only then does the out of pocket cost of ownersip equal or exceed depreciation and my guess is that is on coaches that are in excess of 20 years old.
Now with fuel prices relatively low it makes good sense to stick what might have been fuel expense into zeroing out a coach so if and when fuel starts to climb again (it will) you don’t have to deal with the higher costs of deferred maintenance.

Common sense would dictate a full water tank when using it as freeze protection.
-
The reason I suggest opening a valve is to allow gravity to drain water back out of the water lines, Open the faucets and open a drain valve in the bay and water in the lines will drain back.
I would NOT use or rely on the HW tank heater unless you are 100% confident the HW tank is full of water.
-
Allen you should have a electric heater in the water bay with hot water tank on a thermostat for heating the bay in cold weather
