(upbeat music)
- Hey guys, it's Randy Dawn and a Marathon Coach.
- Hey everyone, how you doing today?
- We are up here at Hearthside Grove
and let's get walking here.
- All right.
- Randy and I were talking and he thinks that he knows
the amount of time it takes to put a slide in on a Prevost.
- Yep, I do.
- And I said, I'll take that bet.
So we are just taking a little stroll over to coach 1262.
It's our double slide we have up here to our side.
We're gonna go inside,
we're gonna start it up and we're gonna move
the slide in. - That's right.
- And this is from the time you push a button
because the seals have to deflate.
So just so we're clear on the bet,
- Okay. - It's not the moving.
How, how long it takes to move in.
- Correct.
- It's from the time you push the button and it stops.
- All right.
- So we're gonna go see.
I am guessing 50 seconds,
is my guess.
I think by the time the seals deflate
and the slide comes in, it's around 50 seconds.
- No, no.
- I think so. Yeah.
- I'm gonna say 37 seconds.
- Woo.
- 37.
- 37. That's- - Five 37
- That's fast 37.
- You know what?
- 50 - 50
- 50, yeah.
- Let's go with 50. - Let's go check it out.
- All right, let's go in.
- I'm just gonna show you again
the outside of this beautiful coach.
This is coach 1262 double slide.
Randy's ready
cause he thinks he's gonna win - I'm ready.
- That's right.
- Oh, right.
Here we'll get up the stairs.
Alright.
- All right so, one thing I always do when doing slides.
I always start the coach
just so that the big compressors
are being used to vacuum the seals
and unvaccum the seals.
- And now we do have the door open too.
Which is recommended
something be open. - Very true, yes,
Because there's a lot of air pressure.
So yeah, now it's a great idea.
So, I'm gonna wait - Okay.
- Don't get her.
- Okay. I'm going to use my second hand on my watch.
Sorry guys for the jiggling there.
Okay. On your Mark.
Get set
and start.
- Alright.
I don't know if you can hear it on the video
but the seals are deflating right now.
That's why nothing's happening.
We're at 10 seconds.
- 10 seconds.
- Remember my count was 37.
Randy's was 50.
- And look at the tolerance down here.
If you could show them the tolerance up there
that slide, as it comes in that that.
And keep in mind, this thing goes down the road.
And we have that closer tolerance.
- He's trying to distract me.
- Yeah.
- It is now 30 seconds.
- Eh.
- 35. - Oh.
- Oh it's 35 - five seconds.
(Dawn laughs)
- Wow, I've been defeated.
- And you can see,
can see the walkway here with the slide in.
This is a double slide.
So we might as well take a little look here
and you can see just how much room.
I mean, you can totally make a sandwich.
Get to the refrigerator, can also
get to the bathroom if needed.
It was 35 seconds.
- 35 seconds.
We've only been married a week
and I've already lost my first bet.
That's not a very good record
but roughly I've got room in time to improve.
So. - You will.
- Yeah, so you approve - You will do fine.
- I hope you enjoy that.
And once again if you're looking for a coach,
either a new coach or a preowned coach,
the sales have been wonderful at Marathon this year.
- They have.
- We still have some new inventory.
We do have some new inventory
that will be coming off the line.
So, if you don't see what you want,
give Dawn or I a call or email us,
and we can tell you what we have coming up
that will be done.
I think we had like three or four coaches
that we are gonna be in, in October.
So we we've got some new product coming out.
So, give us a call or any of the other Sale Associates
from, from Texas, Florida or out West.
And keep watching Randy Dawn and a Marathon Coach.
