    Hi Art,

    Our CC 40′ weights are very close to yours. Ours would weigh a bit less now since I removed three of the 8D AGMs and replaced them with Lithium to power all the 120vac loads. We have a 17.5kw Powertech generator on the drivers side, and the remaining AGM and new Li batteries on the passenger side. Our coach uses the CC over the road AC and three roof mounted units so no basement air.

    November 21, 2020 at 9:44 am in reply to: Questions about plugging in

    I’d like to circle back to replacing the pancake fan that runs 24/7 in the Liberty electrical bay. Above, William says that it runs with the inverters, so they need to be turned off. I also see the yellow “Important” placard on the fuse panel which warns about turning off house battery switches without battery watchdog disconnected. So, obviously, my question is:

    Does “turn off the inverters” mean flipping the On/Off switch on each unit, and, if so, do I need to do anything else before/after?

    Sorry for the idiocy…

    The cabling used with my new RV Cam setup with the original 8-10 wire bundle. There was NO loss of signal and it was full color with video and sound. Can’t see where HD in a backup camera would be necessary but the clarity was impeccable.

    Our new coach has the Eyoyo setup and it’s every bit as good as our old setup. However, I cannot say that it is any better. It does have the ability to zoom up or down and side to side to cover hitch OR long view. The one we had covered hitch to long without having to push any buttons.

    My Experiences were similar to tom’s friends. Our first RV was an Tiffen Allegro on a ford v10 picked it up the day before my first child was born.. we took our first trip before she was a week old and we used a drawer as a crib. About 3 years later daughter #2 and I taught her to say Diesel Pusher we were out on a trip at Top Sail near Destin and came home with a 40′ quad slide Newmar Dutch Star. Were super happy with it as well as the service and then 2007 Marathon and no looking back…

    Over the years I have had the opportunity to speak with lots of people about our decision to purchase a used prevost vs. an newer whatever…. To a person they have all been surprised at the pricing of a used prevost vs. new whatever. Many of the higher end Newmars and I am sure others are pushing close to or over the 1mil mark. Were into our 2007 a lot less than that. But everyone has different wants and needs. What I like about PC is that it’s a great place to come and get lots of different ideas and opinions. I am positive we wouldn’t be rolling in a Prevost if I didn’t start with that Allegro and fall in love with the lifestyle. Some people have the cash and start right at the top… That is what is great about this country!

    John

    I have Marathon #326

    On mine the washer dryer is powered from the breaker box in bedroom, it shares a breaker for power, i think it is either the dishwasher or cooker breaker has to be powered on to get power to the washer dryer

    I would double check that all breakers are on then check washer dryer for power

    Now, thanks to the internet, and people’s willingness to believe what some so called experts are saying there is an incredible amount of absolute bull shit being spread. Some of these so called experts confuse opinion with facts.

    Worse, people looking at that experts videos believe it, because it was on you tube or fakebook or somewhere in the internet.

    I removed the deco flap on our 97 XL40 three or four years ago. Runs cooler without it, especially while climbing. Seems to have no effect on stuff thrown onto the tow car. We have no protection for the tow car and don’t appear to need any. The few dings we have experienced appear to have come from passing cars and trucks as all (the few there are) are on the drivers side. Saved a little leveraged weight as those things are heavy.

    Back to my Country Coach days, 2000 CC Affinity. During my CC ownership on the CC web site a owner conducted a test on the effects of the full rear mud flap. He used test equipment mounted on bus and toad. Without going into all the details his conclusion was…..

    The only thing he could say was the full mud flap was a good piece of advertising for the builder offering no advantage to have it mounted while driving.

    I remember him writing if there was ….the entertainer buses industry would have one one every unit.

    Good to know, Jon. In two weekends Tammie and I are supposed to be taking a weekend trip from Greenville, SC to Huntington Beach State Park, SC, which is about a 5 1/2 hour drive. T/A is 15 minutes from my home and has current pricing at $1.692. Down 3 cents from the price posted yesterday.

    I keep the coach at 1/2 tank so the gallons to fill up will not be a lot. However, it is good enough for us. Of course, the return trip will require more than 1/2 tank and we will use the closest T/A or Petro stop to us on the way home.
