Another busy day. Installed starlink on the roof, installed pepwave antenna on the roof, setup 2 wifi APs on the roof and 2 wifi directional antennas which fit perfectly under the girard front cowls. Got the KVH RV1 to work with directV but the cover is busted so duct taped it for now.
Ripped out counter top and put my fridge in. Added washer/dryer combo and used spare piece of wood as temporary counter. Moved firefly buttons out more.
Fixed Tecma toilet solenoid and tested all the water, all good.
New Giraffetools pressure washer came in and fits nicely in bay. Waiting on PEX manifold to come in before connecting pressure washer and clothes washer. Also planning tankless water heater But its 240v and i havent ordered my new inverters yet so onoy 120v
Old mini fridge fits perfectly in basement bay. New smoker should be delivered tomorrow so hopefully able to get both setup nicely in bay.

1st thing check the salesman switch at the entrance door to see if it is on, that switch turns on a silver solenoid that supplies most all the DC power to coach,Mine is in the DC power compartment, with the house batteries, they do burn out, This is not the Solenoid but it looks a lot like this, It has to be 100 plus amp and 100 percent duty cycle, meaning it has to be on most of the time. The big bolts go between the positive cable on house batteries and small screws go to salesman switch

Yes with an XL
And, I believe you will be good with an H. My ’07 Liberty fit under a carport that the owner stated was 13′ 3″ and I did not have lower from normal, travel ride height. He watched as I approached and stated there was more than an inch to spare. Good luck!

All I did was get the bus washed/waxed and wheels polished. Looks great but I am $660 poorer!

An alternator is a stupid device. If there was no voltage regulation you would see output voltages high enough to do substantial damage to your electrical system. Voltages would be well in excess of what you are seeing, and which likely will only damage your batteries.
Before you poke a finger at the 50DN you can quickly determine if the regulator is functioning to an extent.
Disconnect the field wire from the alternator. Connect a jumper at the alternator but leave the other end not connected to anything. Start the bus and measure voltage, which should be exactly the same voltage as the batteries with the engine off. Then contact the jumper to the positive post on the batteries (the post that corresponds to the normal output voltage of the coach. Some 50DN’s were set up for 12 volts, some for 24. Whatever yours is that is the post that corresponds to the 50DN.
Watch the voltage rise, but disconnect the wire from the battery as soon as you see it exceed the voltage you now see from the 50DN. The voltages you describe are too high to be tolerated, but do not approach the voltage level that can do serious damage.
If the unregulated voltage in your test does not exceed what you now see it is a good indication the regulator is no good, and that the 50DN needs a regulator that works.
On a 24V 50DN supplying unregulated field power the 50DN output can quickly hit and exceed as much as 33 volts.

Mark, I think you were working in your rig when I was finally getting mine up and running.
Probably was. I just got back from Newmar for some warranty work. It worked very well while up there. No 5g yet, but solid LTE. I don’t get attitude these carriers have. My device (Pepwave) was tested and accepted by Verizon, so there is no reason it raises any flags, but they just want to make life miserable for those who don’t want to use the junk they sell.
Glad you are up and working too.

Both the surge protector and this gizmo say the power is good. I also used a got meter and readings are 121, 121 and 243.

is this is at home? first reaction is bad ground somewhere in system. Or grounds bonded somewhere in system. Only a observation. A cheap 3 prong checker you can plug into standard wall plug will tell you if you have open line or ground is compromised. Elect is a shot in dark unless you can test yourself. Camp grounds are questionable in some of their wiring practices. Some I have hooked up to have earth and common bonded together! Bob

Removed the who knows how old working 24vdc starter solenoid (R4) and installed a new one, Prevost# 561005 = Presolite# SAS-5401A. Will carry the old one as a spare.

I have this information in my profile, but for whatever reason it does not show. Bill reached out, but the email I sent with a screenshot to the address he listed bounced back.
