Success!
Installation of the the Prevost “Product Improvement of Spillway Use” kit #032413 has resolved our fuel back splash problem. No more double burp back splash, or back splash at all when refueling.
Thanks all.

I just bought two Continentals HSR2 SA all position. They were 7170 ea installed with equal. I’ve driven them 4,000 miles through some heavy rain in Texas and so far they are performing as good or better than the Michelins that I had on the steer before. They have a built-in sensor for temp and pressure. I’m not sure about how much the equipment is to read the tires but I’m going to check into that. Fred

Ron, with all due respect your 2008 Marathon is built with a separate generator starting battery.
Marathon mounts them in places which are not always easy to find. Most are boxed in cabinets missed when searching. Your 2008 would have a AGM battery small in size somewhere near your generator.
Maybe someone with a like coach year can suggest where to look. Leon, at Marathon – Coberg is another source for location.
Marathon also mounts a small solar panel on roof to trickle charge while your parked outdoors.
Changing the generator battery is usually suggested at same time replacing your house AGM battery bank.
Source for this Lifeline battery replacement could be purchased from Trans Specialist aka Truk.

I changed the fuel shut off solenoid, and the good news is the
leaking has stopped and the intermittent generator shutting off
has stopped. We recently traveled to Pittsburg, and the
generator started early Friday morning and ran continuously
until Monday afternoon when we returned home.
Evidently, I fixed it too good, as the generator would not shut
off when the shut off was pushed. I tried the shut off at the
generator, but still kept running. Shut off the 12volt power,
disconnected the fuel pump, and the fuel solenoid, generator
still running. Finally shut down by placing plastic bag over air
intake to starve off the air. Back to the drawing board.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Higher than required pressures are the best way to go if there is any doubt. Every coach when purchased should be weighed for purposes of determining tire pressures, and the coach should be loaded as it would when in use.

One month to go….

John, TransWest has a facility a smidge north of Denver on I 25, they sell Emeralds and have worked on mine in the past. A ladder and some bolts, you should be good to go though.

I had the ‘claws’ break after 3 years of use. While emptying the holding tank at an RV park in Lake City, FL, I looked back and the adaptor popped off and I made a mad dash to hit the ‘close’ valve button.
Thank goodness it wasn’t a big mess. My California storage facility has a repair shop (Benlo RV) next door where they carry everything RV. They normally have the size that we use but they were out when checking inventory. So, he ordered me two which arrived in a couple of days.

Tom, I had a ’76 KW W900 brand new back then, it also had an air power passenger window, what a great feature back then, especially to tell “lot lizards” to get off my truck LOL.
I had front brakes, but removed them to get rid of the weight, and have steering in case of a lock up.

5910, you missed the Rally Discount Pricing. After the 15th, they’ll be 6330.

Hey, Andre had his hand on my knee…
I see Wayne helping Ann.
Michael, just for the record, to allocate the correct amount of money the Rally cost you, simply divide the 12000 you are paying by 4 items. That would be pizza, coffee & doughnuts, rally bag and tonight’s Oyster dinner. That would then equal 3000 per item/function. Further, Jon and I would like to thank you for the 10000 donation, we didn’t quite know how we were going to cough up the fuel money to get home. Please sign up for Petoskey, we need help.

My chassis is an ’03 and mine did not have the bracket. I bought mine from a local Detroit dealer, and installed it myself, very easy to do.

My pump was back to cycling after a few seconds this morning, so I checked the tank pressure and determined that the bladder inside must be bad. $55 for a new 4.4 gal tank at Menard’s and about an hour to do the swap. A lot of that time was letting the tank slowly drain before unscrewing it the final few turns, all to avoid a wet mess in the bay. That worked. I bled the precharged tank from 40psi to 18 psi, and left the pump controls at roughly 20psi/40psi. Now I can run the galley faucet wide open for nearly two minutes before the pump kicks on, and the pump runs for almost a minute to rebuild pressure. No more pressure variations, either. The new tank mercifully fit the old mounting ring. Thanks to all for helping me enhance my enjoyment of the bus!
