New owner of a 1993 Marathon XL

[prevonubie]

Hello everyone my name is Jerry and I am happy to join the select group of Prevost owners and I look forward to the discussion and hopefully the help I'm sure I will need to enjoy my coach. The coach is in very good condition and it will just need some TLC. The previous owner had to let it go because of health concerns and could not continue the upkeep. I just brought it home to Chicago from Clearwater Florida just in time to miss the brunt of Izzy through the Georgia and Nashville corridor, whew! Of course it was a Florida coach and is not accustomed to the frigid climate up here and developed coolant leaks in the tubes this morning and I reached out to JB in Bushnell Florida who advised me to tighten the tension clamps which resolved the leak issues. Other than noticing an oil leak on the drivers side it seemed to hold up fine. I have it at my diesel mechanic shop right now looking into locating the leak. Well again it is wonderful to join this elite group of individuals and I look forward to sharing my experience with you all. Jerry
