1997 Marathon - Purchase Jitters
Hi Gang,
I'm about to schedule a PDI in Dallas and jump on a plane to purchase a Marathon and wondered if anyone can shed any light on this coach. It's being sold by Mr Olivers and also listed on e-bay. The site for Mr Olivers
is: http://www.mrolivers.com/website_slot_09_1desc
I see the same Coach on Phil Coopers site, dos-97, with a sold notice, but this may be a real old Ad. Mileage then was 66K and now 88K.
Got the new buyers jitters and looking for info.:confused:
Flooring and Paint advise
Hey guys thanks for all the responses about the new addition to the Stringfield family> We love it so far, I made the dead line and went to Fort Wilderness on that Friday, stopped back by and saw Rich @ IBP in Apopka and purchased all the LEDs including tail lights for the coach! It is back in my shop and we have disassembled the engine room and are replacing all the hoses, alternators, pullies,tensioners and any possible brake down parts, painting and detailing and are now going back together. I need some advise AGAIN! I need someone to paint the coach from the Aluminum down, all the way around the bus. I stopped and saw Greg In Lakeland, he said to strip and paint all the paint on the bus and to paint the entire front is $13,000.00. Is this high? It is only about a 24 inch strip around the coach! And he is selling and moving north, so I wonder about warranty in the future. The bus has ceramic flooring in the bath and carpet everywhere else. I want to put granite or marble throughout. Any advise? Last but not least, I was cleaning out the coach and found the complete owners manual and Prevost manuals!!!! The Kohler gen set starts and shuts off. I have checked all the obvious stuff. I guess I will have to order a complete manual so I can trouble shoot and repair!
Thanks David
