    If the engine is coming out it is already serious and at the very least after it is re-installed verify 100% everything, including house circuits are working.

    Are the house batteries being maintained with a charge to them?

    No I don’t know the details, but they were at Florida Luxury Coach. Probably, somewhere between 2000 and 2006 ???

    Doug over at Excalibur Coach lost one and FLC lost 5 (as far as I was told).

    You can Google Sanford Luxury coach fire for a video and photos.

    About 2 months ago a coach burned pretty bad while parked in the Lazydays campground in Sefner FL.

    I’m not sure you need to disassemble the door and its trim to remove a window.

    The windows on an XL and XLII in the front are bonded in place. Cut the seal from the outside around the perimeter of the glass, then holding the knife blade parallel to the glass on the inside, cut the seal between the glass and the frame.

    That should be all that is required to remove the glass which might be repaired or replaced.

    Don,

    If you are around 5.5 MPG on a 8V92 you are doing OK. Some will get better, some worse, it all depends on your driving speed, if you are towing, if you are using OTR, etc.

    As to high transmission temps on the transmission in your coach that is almost a sure sign you have too much transmission fluid in it. The correct amount can be accurately determined if you are capable and willing to get under the coach safely. The dip stick is only marginal at best in showing the correct amount of fluid.

    Mark,

    Your battery configuration is non standard at best. I’m your Lifeline Battery contact and I have never seen this configuration in a Marathon. Further, if you have Trace 4000 inverters, 4 batteries will not do the job if your going to be using two of the A/C’s off the batteries.

    Bernies dead on, you need to figure out why the standard battery configuration has been modified.

    If you need Lifeline help, contact me off line.

    I installed Koni’s on the front first and the coach felt like the front was out of sinc with the rear(the rear shocks were worn out) at that time there was a back order situation and soon they arrived and I installed them,I would spend the money for Konis all around again.

    Peter,

    if the valves you speak of are not open, would you not feel heat in the house when the webasto is on, and the thermostats are turned up? Or is this specifically for the webasto heating the water tank?

    And to Tom’s point, I actually use the Webasto to heat the engine as well as the block heater. Run the Webasto for about 30 minutes prior to starting the engine on colder mornings/days as a way to get more heat into the engine prior to cranking it over.

    Double K’s experience seems to be the norm at LD, I won’t be going there…. While we were there for our rally, we talkied to a few people that had been there for a month and heard horror stories.
