Typo… I did look it up finding several meanings on google.

The example was pretty funny…at Jon’s expense of course…. Oh what the hell Jon, was due

Kevin,

What year and conversion is yours ?

Thanks,

[Peter]

Thanks for sharing this Fred. I was under the impression that once the rivet process was complete, it would never again be an issue. So when you had it done in 2012, you got the rivets like they’re doing now, but that failed? I just had mine done last year, rivets, z-molding and patch panels and was under the impression that was the final fix.

I do agree with you, the crew at Jax are the best….

This entire issue can be reduced to performance numbers.

First, to address the AH electric heat capability. AH has an electric element to heat it’s fluid. It’s ability to heat the coach is directly comparable to a Webasto system that uses external toe space heaters and a HW tank with its own internal electric heating element.

If the AH has a 1000 or 1500 watt internal electric element that is the total capacity for heating both hot water and the coach interior. Since a Webasto does not have an electric heating element in its system, the converter(s) typically have one or more toe space heaters of 1000 or 1500 watts, plus they use a 1000 watt dedicated heater for the HW tank.

To say an AH works better on shore or generator power compared to the Webasto ignores how the converter(s) equip their coaches to provide the same alternative performance to diesel heat.

In my opinion I lean towards the system simplicity and reliability of the Webasto. The AH has engine coolant plumbed into it but then it also runs a parallel system using its own fluid for heat transfer. From reading years of posts on this forum and several others my concerns stem from the fact that not only can a Webasto require service on either system, but the AH has its own rather complex control system which has the potential to need service, but there have been multiple reports of leaks within its system, failure of it’s tank and heat exchanger look, and separation of the loop from the tank. If a portion of my Webasto system fails I can isolate it. If the AH fails within the unit itself the entire system is down.

Wish I knew what I was looking at and how it relates to the original topic.

[Peter]

It was like that I just keep it that way . Maybe Tom will chime in if he did anything? Most Royale’s are gold plated under there aren’t Libertys that way!!!

[Peter]

That sounds like a great idea as long as Tom isnt one. Ya just cant have a deaf Georgian as a translator cause Nancy will be the only one who can understand him. Maybe that guy that signed for the deaf at Mandella’s funeral will be available.I dont know about you folks but he made perfect sense to me. LOL

Here’s mine Robert

Yes we park on the grounds. We park on the blacktop overlooking the polo field. Pretty expensive but we enjoy it.

[Peter]

Almost as bad as CRS….

I would absolutely go to 365’s on the front. Not sure about rear…I would want to see drive and tag weights individually.

Peter,

thanks for taking the picture. I like your radiator setup. Right there, easy to check.

On our Marathon, the radiator is in a compartment behind the generator in the center of the bus. I finally “found it” by taking out an access panel in the first passenger bay. Everthing was clean, so I buttoned it back up.

Before I took it out and put new hoses in and cleaned everything, and changed antifreeze

[Peter]

I think I have found a problem I think it is quick release valve in the front between axle it was dirty and Ieaking I put new one in today it is for front brakes !!!!!!!!

[Peter]

Count us in ! We’ll be on our way to Seafood Fest At Everglade Isles.
