Ernie,

With the Wanderlodges, you were pretty much on your own to keep them maintained unless you were fortunate enough to find a local truck or bus repair facility willing to work on a Wanderlodge.

It must be nice that you have a Prevost Service Center close to home.
Since Marathon is close to Prevost there in Ft. Worth, I'd bet they would be willing to fix any of the household items on that Liberty that you may need help with. Gary, Bob and the other Techs there are dependable and professional. I know it ain't cheap but somethings we just can't do it ourselves. Every time I've been at Marathon, I've seen other converter's coaches there for service.

We're at Prevost Mira Loma presently having the bus's annual service done. It's a 250 mile trip one-way and usually a two day stay in their parking facility as there is always something else that needs attention while we're there.

Post Note: It never fails, during the service today we found that my tag axle lift chambers were inoperative and needs replacing. This is a must to get repaired as the tag air springs are automatically deflated when the slide is extended to remove stress on the chassis structural members when the pins are retracted and the slide moves out.
