I will do that Jon,
I am scratching my head too……….. -
Didn’t know you did one …
I watched it, so will explore a little more about my settings for the fan & compressor.

If your Marathon has a separate aux tank, not sure your vintage does, chances are it’s rusted and nasty. I had a 97 Marathon and don’t recall if it had a separate tank.

When you call Prevost Parts, you will give them your vin number from which they will determine the correct parts. They occasionally have a sale on these at a price that’s hard to beat.

Have never been clocked on running Gen during prohibited hrs. Geo. Also I mis spoke in my previous post…Liberty does have a quiet box….Marathon, CC and Royale do not.

Wish it worked with Verizon!

Those window replacements will be easy.
Cut the old seal around the perimeter from the outside and parallel to the glass on the inside. Clean the area around the frame.
Apply a bead of Sikaflex around the surface the glass will rest against keeping an even space around the glass. Fill the space around the glass with Sikaflex. and smooth it out. Masking tape around the frame keeps cleanup to a minimum. Heating the Sikaflex tube helps it flow easier.
Try to avoid using the door for a day to let the seal set.

Tim,
I think the answer depends on what you are looking for. If you are looking for an overnight/couple days in a spot, you will most likely be able to find pretty much anything within a 24 hour period close to where you want to be. Some are fine for an overnight stop, others are decent for a couple days.
If you want to get a resort spot in the high season and want to stay for a couple two three weeks/month, you need to give it 6 months in advance, or get lucky with a potential cancellation just when you call.
When we travel across the country, we plan in general terms. We know when we want to leave and have a good idea when we want to be somewhere. Between that we take it day by day and useally plan mid-day where we feel we can make it to that day and start planning. Some days we get a really nice RV park on the side of the highway, sometimes we get a not so nice place that has water/power/sewage and then there are times we get a rest stop/truck stop/Lowe’s parking lot.

It was there when I got the Coach. Runs all the way to the front.

Road junk like that is a good way to get a hole in oil pan or transmission pan, but they usually show up real quick! Drips back there are the first thing I would check for, next time.

Dick,
On your coach you have to make sure the valves are open for heat from the Webasto for the house. Assuming they are all you have to do is turn on the Webasto. Once the coolant circulating through the Webasto is at or above the burner cut out temp (which is around 160) the Webasto will function in the house without firing the diesel burner. The only downside to using that instead of the driver’s or OTR is you won’t get the defroster function because the chassis system will not be working.
I used to use the dash heat and the Webasto when driving in cold weather, and on occasion I also used OTR for heat to get even more heat distribution.

The pump and power to run the pump are 24vdc. It is a very robust pump. The motor almost never goes out but maybe the seals failed with age and that is why the prevous owner yanked it out. Under most circumstances, the differential pressure across the pump on the engine will circulate enough hot water to the front to keep you warm and provide defrosting, so one option if you tend to stay in milder climates is to put in a “jumper line” out of heater hose and 2 barb fittings, and leave the pump out. Of course, if you prefer the Canadian tundra in the winter, which is what these coaches were designed for, then you will want to replace the pump to ensure the volume of hot water to ensure you have the thermal capacity to keep the windshield defrosted in the icy winters at below 0 degree climates.
