Truk,
My question is the layout of my air lines in the my picture correct or has someone change it from how Marathon installed it when the coach was new?

Dick, what was your battery voltage after turning everything back on?

I have a 94 liberty xl classic as well. The fresh water tank drain is in the water bay (passenger side bay 4) right by the Groco senior pump. There are two 1/4 turn ball valves. Left one is for hot water tank. Right one is for fresh water tank.

Just finished both drive axle bags replace today. First one took @ 3 1/2 hrs , second took about 2 hrs. Replaced push fittings with compression..
Pics below depict my process. Safety first !
Drive tires not removed. Pipe thread not teflon tape used. Fender cover removed for clearance.
Bags were compressed using ratchet straps for easy installaton .

A friend of mine has a one off conversion, I can’t recall the converter. The chassis was originally bought by CC and painted by them, then the 08 recession hit. When CC when tu the chassis was sold and went to Texas and converted there. It was sold at a very large discount as a 2012 model. It’s a beautiful coach, XLII and the conversion appears to be very solid, but it’s definitely an orphan.

Good morning everyone. I know everyone is disappointed with the Pilot decision; however, they were only a small portion of what is being purchased through our program. I am disappointed as well, because we had approval from our representative at Pilot who is no longer there, but I understand that if they signed a contract they have to honor that contract.
We didn’t even have a discount with them until November, and even with that discount, they have never been the best price. Our other retailers have always been lower on their prices than Pilot. For those of you who still want to stop there, I encourage you to do so and use whatever discount card is available to you. We have always encouraged our customers to do a price check with all discount cards and apps to get the best price. We only want you to use our card if it helps you get the best rate.
The other truck stops continue to offer great discounts and we thank you for your continued support.

We have never had a common size tire on our coaches. None of the three sizes, 120, 315, or 365 were readily available. A 315 might be more common today, but good luck finding the others.

First understand I am not a fan of apps, smartphones or having to deal with digital technology. Regardless of my reasons I am not incapable of digging in when required, I just don’t want to have to get into the nitty gritty.
So I asked Jeff and his team to get the KVH and Dish working together and activated. I watched and even they had some issues. I installed everything but the problems they had weren’t with the installation, but with getting the Dish account activated and getting the KVH set up.
On my first trip the system did not work properly so with the help of a KVH tech I learned how I could use my computer to get into the various features of the KVH, including going to the various satellite groups or locking on to a single one.
I also found out Dish sells me a Wally, but despite pretending it is a Dish receiver and pretending to be able to help with problems the only thing Dish can do is reactivate the account and any technical support has to come from Outdoors which is a completely different company.
Then I found out that when I have issues and seek answers KVH blames Dish and Dish/Outdoors blames KVH and puts me in the middle. So despite my aversion to dealing with digital crap I am now pretty comfortable getting into the diagnostics and set up systems for both and it really pisses me off that neither company has a brochure, service manual, or a customer support person willing to ignore the animosity between companies to actually provide advice freely and completely. It seems like every piece of information I have been able to accumulate to be able to deal with issues and understand the system has had to be dragged out of each company and required multiple calls because neither company has customer support people with broad based knowledge.
I am sick of hearing I have to reboot something by pulling the plug, sick of being asked to check all connections, sick of hearing that I cannot get a certain channel because of poor satellite coverage in a given area, etc.

1/2 gallon per hour For the gen Harry, Jon has accurate data.

I use the touch screen regularly, so I guess it’s a personal preference. This is my install…
-
The difference of weight between the two is five ounces. I found that I would rarely (if ever) have to touch the GPS screen when in transit. Basically, enter the destination, set the desired screen features and glance at it to see the info.

I’ll disagree with some and say that I had no problems having the Garmin GPS mounted on the center pillar. The wiring was run behind the post and it provided a clear view without a wire mess. It’s a very light unit and never caused a problem due to the mounting. This clip from the video should provide a better explanation.

Mike,
Thank you for the pictures.
