The last time we had the POG at Kerrville, I-10 was terrible. After bouncing all the way there and back; I changed my shocks on our 40' Marathon as soon as I got back home, and I didn't really see any diference. It was just a bad road.

Koni part number for XLII is 90-2574. Does anyone have any suggestions for cold tire pressure? I have heard 105-95-85 from several sources.

AL,Thanks for the part #,I had a non slide 2001 Marathon and it weighed about 17,000 on the steering axle,Jon is right,go weigh your coach and then you know from the chart what air pressure to run.I bet that 16,000 is not even close.
OK ...currently what pressure are you carrying in an XLII ...2 slide ? I just want to have a starting point as a referance from you more experienced Prevost owners. What do you think of 105-95-85 Lbs. (cold). Where is this chart your speaking of Jack ? I'am the new kid on the block.

Well you look old so that makes you a senior. Just like the rest of us. Just kidding.
The number of posts it takes to become a senior is a setting the webmaster controls. Apparently he got some complaints in the past about how many posts it takes to reach senior status, so he set the number so low everybody gets there with their first post.
Al,Jon's post # 53 has the Michelin chart website,just click on it.I have 115,100,100.I like a little extra and I am not concerned about the ride.
Drove my bus across some CAT scales last summer so the State of TX could decide what to charge me for registration. 2000 Marathon XLV full of fuel, full of fresh water, 20% full on black and gray tanks.
Front axle: 14,420
Drive axle: 19,260
Tag axle: 11,960
Total: 45,960
GVWR: 48,900
Today was weigh in at the CAT scale. Our 2005 Marathon XL II 2/slide...fuel under !/2 tank, water at 50%. Front axle 17740.... Rear 34140 for a grand total 51880 lbs. I was thinking it would be in the low 16000 range and was surprised. Jack 14r you were correct in your post that 16000 wouldn't even be close. Maybe it was the extra weight of that clear shield bolted on the front cap ...Jon.
Cost of weight at Flying J $ 9.00.
