The correct voltage.
I have the bus at a RV park 8 miles from the house (not many choices) here in ‘Elvis Country’. This park sometimes has a low voltage problem when the temp starts to rise.
Also, we are now in the 21st century as we traded in our flip-phones for new i-phone 6’s. I can now connect to the bus with Liberty’s i-Link (thanks Frank!).
The voltage seems to range from 115-118 on each leg. How low does it need to go before I should worry?
Thanks,
Mark

Your systems are new and thus more advanced but I think mine is set to kick the inverters off at 105 and 130. I sure wish I could monitor the voltage when I am away. That is cool.

The standard for utilities is 120 Volts, plus or minus 10%. However normal power is operating within a tighter voltage range.
The odds are if the voltage in an RV park is less than 110 the reason is their infrasturcture

At 110v I’m reducing loads, killing the chargers, etc. At 115 to 118 your good Mark. Your inverter system will probably supplement power from the batteries by inverting if it gets low. You may want to ask Liberty what that voltage may be.

I have been watching the temps inside the bus from home. I’ve been alternating the air condtioning, basically running #1 and #4 during the day. At the peak of the heat of the day, I’ll turn on #2 for a little while. Then, switching to #3 only (at night). I want to exercise all the units.
At 92 degrees, in the blaring sun, 3 units at peak heat keep the coach at the set temp of about 73-74 degrees with no problems. I’ve been switching on the outside door light for a few hours at night too, then off about 9:30-10:00 PM.
I can do everything on my i-phone that I can do at the i-pad in the coach. I just now turned off the electric water heater as I’m not staying in the bus….. a little less electric usage at heavy power time.
The St. Jude Golf Classis is going on now. A couple of Prevost’s have arrived, a 2007-ish Marathon H-45 and a 2003-ish Liberty XLII (I just remembered Liberty puts the series on the outside so I’ll see what year).
On edit: The Liberty is a 2003.

Mark,
Why keep it so cold when your not using it? If you set it for 78 or 80, the A/C’s would run less especially during the heat of the day.
Mine is in my garage, but in the summer when we’re not using it, I put one SMX Control in humidity mode that runs the A/C every 8 hours for 30 minutes to keep the humidity down. I alternate A/C’s excersizing all 4 cruiseairs.

Well, Tom, I guess since I’m paying for electricity, I want it to be comfortable. And, I want to see that the coach can handle everything (heating in the winter and cooling in the summer).
