    Called them today and mentioned Tom and PC the fella I talked with said he thought advertising with PC would be a good idea since they do a lot of work for Pervosts. And here is the annoucement. Will be sending out my inverter on Monday for a check see. Rick

    ISC is in my area and I’ve used them on my all electric SOB coach. They are excellent and did a great job in tracking down what caused the problem with one of my two 2,800 watt Magnum inverters. It turned out to be a loose connection on a 300 amp fuse box that was buried in the engine compartment. It only showed up under load. Now that the cause is corrected, the repairs they did on that inverter have it running like new.

    They get shipments of inverters in from all over the country and their turnaround time is very reasonable. Since they are near Prevost Nashville, they get a lot of work from them. Their shop is easily accessed from I-65.

    I highly recommend them.

    I sent out my inverter today. They said Jon’s cc number is on file so I should be all set. Rick

    I got a call from Jordon at ISC. They received my inverter yesterday and found a burnt wire. He also thought the board needed to be replaced and the total cost would be about $350. I got a call half an hour later. After replacing the burnt wire Jordon fired up the inverter and everything checked out ok. Total cost 1 hour labor $80.You can bet your bottom dollar they’ll be getting my business again should the need arise! Taking the inverter out of the coach was easyer than I thought. Rick

    It’s always great to have good folks who can provide service when needed. Kudos to Inverter Service Center.

    Looks like Rick didn’t hurt my credit card too much.

    Got a chance to install my repaired inverter today. I bought new cooling fans to replace the old ones. Made more sense to me to replace them while they were right in front of me. As it turned out much to my surprise both of them were not working at all! I have one more to replace down under near the house batterys. That one was making a funny noise so I know that one needs to be replaced.Lesson learned, check your cooling fans from time to time.I feel lucky all I had was a burnt wire in the inverter. Rick

    Rick,

    I put new bay fans in also and installed thermostats set to 90 degree’s rather than having them run full time.

    For those who store their coaches where the place is relatively quiet, I listen every time I enter the bus garage. I have learned the coach makes noise. Cooling fans and other sounds like the hum from my transfer switch are my clues that all is well.

    Inverter fans are part of the noises. If they are cycling on they are working.

    Tom Can you tell me how the thermostat was wired up and what kind it was. That sounds like a great idea. I have a fan behind the frig in the entertainment bay also. I wonder if that is on a thermostat, if not it could be as well. Rick

    The fan for the entertainment fridge is tied in with the on-off cycling of the refrigerator. It only comes on when the refrigerator compressor is running.

    On my 97 coach the inverters had internal fans that cycled on as needed, controlled by the inverter. But in addition the coach was equipped with a Liberty installed pair of fans that could be turned on or off with a switch near the inverters. It was my practice to turn the external fans on when we were on a trip.

    Our current coach has a fan in the rear wall of the electric bay and it is set to run continuously. I have opted to leave it that way because we never hear it in the coach and as long as I hear it running I know all is good. If I put it on a thermostat I could confuse a failed fan with a fan that has cycled off on the thermostat. I do not like the fan constantly pulling air through the electric bay because it also pulls in dust, such as kicked up while driving, but I don’t have a better idea.

    I’ll get you a picture Rick. Mine are wired direct to the inverters, one behind the entertainment center and the other behind the bay fridge.

    My inverter fans are also wired direct off the inverter. Rick
