    Jerry and Mikee: Did all that. Plot thickens with second inverter. Turns out it was dropped during shipping. Was packaged in wooden box and on pallet according to seller but arrived to me in a flimsy cardboard box (and no pallet) which itself was pretty beat up. Thought something was fishy when it made all sorts of nonelectrical noise (sounded like a food processor chopping whole walnuts) when I started it up and then never worked right even when I set up a test station on my workbench entirely separate from the bus. So now it is on its way back to seller and plan for now is to run entire bus off one inverter. We seldom pull much inverter power – about 10 amps with a toilet flush during a rare boondock night at most – so should be plenty of power to get us by for now and each inverter charges the entire battery bank so charging should be good. Plan to hit Inverter Services on our way to FL this winter and see what they say. Hopefully I will be able to get a refund on the 2k I paid for the rebuild.

    Don: As usual your thoughts are great. Now have a nicely functioning Harbor Freight pump installed and works like a charm flushing the Headhunter royal flush toilet without problem. Total cost with discount and taxes: $162. Long way from the nearly 2k for a new Mach 5.

    Appreciate everybody’s input. Mike
