Factory tour via Youtube

[David Brady]

Ross,



Sorry to hear about your problems and hope they get

resolved reasonably. I went to the NHTSA link to view the

complaint but it appears some sort of NHTSA ODI

Number is required. Can you help?



Thanks,

Hi ,

There are many issues.

The move of the gennie to the 3rd bay is possibly a patch fix that

will not work in this coach. Left front -10,000 pounds and right side

8000 pounds with the bays empty. Moving the gennie to the left may

take 1/2 of its 960 pound weight off the front axle in total , but not

help the left side (This 450 has 2 slides only on left.)

The gennie in not on a slide. This is from Parliament site:

A shining example of our philosophies in action is our generator

installation. When Power Tech and Onan started offering generators in

the all-enclosed, boxed-in assembly, we carefully considered all the

benefits and drawbacks of such an installation. This installation

style affords a bit more space and ease of "assembly line"

installation, since these can be easily forklifted into place, as well

as reduced labor to custom-craft and line the generator compartment.

It does, however, severely impair its serviceability. For example,

the starter is located on the backside, necessitating generator

removal to repair or replace the starter or water pump and belt. That

may be relatively easy at the factory, but in the field it would prove

unacceptable. The generator's diesel engine is rated for the

equivalent of 500,000 miles of use before major work is needed, but we

all know from experience on our automobiles that a starter or starter

solenoid would need replacement long before that. Our end-slide

mounting of the generator affords access to all the generator
components.

Also note complaint on http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/
