Bonz,

You can get the recepticle and box at the Depot. Just be sure the wire run is the heavy gauge 4 wire, the electrican will know. Yippee, power at home…

Thanks for building this site. I have only known about it a few days and have already been profited by the experience. Thanks to Bob/robertglines for telling me about Prevost Community and inviting me over for a look. Since I am on the move nearly every week my internet service varies considerably. The weeks I have service I will surely be checking in and asking questions.

Thanks again,

DKO

Speaking of Joe, has anyone heard ( we did just go through some Holidays, did we not?) from Joe C? He has not been heard of for a long time

So If your tag doesn’t come off the ground you need to shorten the chains?

His 12 vs 24 is dead on, 12.56 & 12.55. Half of 25.1 is 12.55, so the equalizer is doing it’s job.

Reminds me of the time the Turbo on my Excursion was sticking and the Service rep told me it was because I pulled the car behind my motorhome and the dirt kicked up by the bus was junking up the Turbo. My thoughts were what about the air filter? This was the first time I realized these guys are really just service WRITERS.

Early 90’sas far as my knowledge of H series goes. 8-V92’s were avaliable from Detroit in both configurations thru at least 2000. The tag axle configuration for the 60 series was not until at leat 92 in the xl because I have a friend trying to put a 60 in his 91. that is the limit of my brain. my 98 is 60 series. Bob

Liberty? That was harsh!

The tires were bought new as a set less than a year ago (Firestone FS400’s) and have less than 5,000 miles on them! I’ll check the date code on the replacement tire next time we go to the lot and see when it was manufactured!

I agree that, if you have to have a blowout, the tag is the best place to have it! I’m very thankful it wasn’t a steer tire! Unfortunately, my coach does not have the tag lift feature, 🙁

First of all; Hate that you had road trouble. The question I have is does your coach have tag axle lift.? Both of mine do. In a situation like that to change a tire I just dump the air on the tag and they come off ground. Either change there are go to service center. Might also ck dates on rest of tires. 10 yrs is max —dry rot is the enemy in this case. I ck new tires when I buy them you would be surprised how many dealers try to sell you tires that are already several years old. Time does matter! Especially at these prices. Bob

Tom,

Put a heavy load on the shore power today and didn’t get a current
reading over 30 amps which verifies your readings. I haven’t paid much attention to the amp
readings because I have not had any problems and my interest was in balanced
current draw. I removed the circuit
breaker panel cover and took a look at the current transformers in my coach.
The installation is probably identical to yours. I discovered what I believe is
incorrect wire routing. The transformer secondary wires pass through the
primary loop hole in the donut current transformer.

The secondary wiring should not pass through the primary loop.

I have seen one of the secondary wires used to fine tune the
current on large applications. Don’t recall the ratios used but I’m reasonably
sure that one of the secondary’s added to the primary loop will increase the
current and the other one will decrease the current.

I have never seen both secondary wires pass through the
primary loop. I’m not sure what the affect is and didn’t have time to change
the routing to see what the change would do.

Remember that I’m a Mechanical Engineer and will probably
assume the power is OK if there is no smoke or fire and Jons not helping, based on experience at Prevost Nashville.

Liberty is better, always has been, and hopefully always will be! Face it–Most people dream of having a LIBERTY
