  1. Beaver Marquis is a great older coach. Build quality is as good as any out there. Also any pre 2007-2008 Marquis are pre emission, so no worries there. Most are Cat C-12, 13, 15. Owned a 2002, and now a 2007. In some respects, the 2002 is better build quality than the 2007. All depends on floor plan, number of slides, and electronics in deciding what you want. Your budget of 100 to 200 grand will buy you a very nice coach in the range of years pre 2007-2008. Good luck and have fun on your journey.


  2. Your Tag axle air regulator needs to be checked on a regular basis. The pressure setting on mine changes and needs to be readjusted. Once you get your weight numbers, adjust accordingly. My front and tandem axles are about 85 to 87 percent of max axle load on each axle. The tag will only be about 40 percent of max load axle capacity. These max axle numbers can be found on the placard to the left of the pilot seat on the wall. Hope this helps.


  3. Easy for you to say at $120.00. States are ripping off people on rigs that have had sales tax every time they are sold. I just bought a coach in Arizona, when I got home to license it in Colorado, I had to pay a sales tax to Colorado. How does that work? Every time I turn around, government is in my pocket. NOT RIGHT!!!


  4. Hi Nan, I don't think  the thermistor is at fault if it works fine on shore power. When boondocking are you level? Being level is a must for proper operation of fridge. Most campground sites are fairly level, witch may explain why it seems to work on shore power. Put a small level on shelf's of fridge in both directions to see where you are at. If you still suspect thermistor problem, unplug thermistor at control board, this puts fridge in maximum cooling mode. If it cools down unplugged, then replace thermistor. Hope this helps.


  5. Had this problem after I changed a Leece Neville alternator to a Delco Remy. I believe the Leece Neville ignition wire terminal has a diode that prevents power back to ignition switch. After changing to Delco Remy alternator, coach would not shut off as you describe. Power was back feeding from alternator to ignition switch preventing engine shutdown. I installed a diode, in line, on ignition terminal on back of alternator. This fixed problem. In your case, the diode in your alternator may have failed and is allowing power back to switch. To check and see if this is your problem, locate ignition wire by turning on switch, and finding hot wire.  When switch is off you should not have any power at end of wire that hooks to ignition terminal. Also by disconnecting this wire from terminal when coach is running, engine should shut down if this is your problem. Hope this helps.
