    October 8, 2014 at 5:55 pm in reply to: Battery Charger – What to buy?

    I just picked up this same charger based on reading this post as my old one which is a farm and ranch 24 volt charger was cooking my batteries. Looking at the manual they show connecting the two circuits coming from the charger to TWO batteries wired in series for 24 volts. Reading your post you mention two ‘banks” of bats…I am assuming you are refering to the 4 -12 volt chassis bats that are wired series parallel in the back. Im just wanting to make sure I have the right charger as the installation manual does not show me a diagrahm connecting to 4 batteries…it only illustrates connecting to 2 bats..

    This is referring to Brewers post above…

    Thanks everyone for the advice. I may rig the charger in the storage bay (12?) in front of the starboard engine bay access door. I need to research a bit more but, I do plan on installing a charger.

    Thanks for the info on rwiring as well

    Found the problem…the plastic gear on the elevation motor hasa cracked hub where it goes on the shaft. Our friends at Tulsa RV took apart 2 used ones and both were the wrong size. Ben C. from Parliament/Coach Worx is comming to OKC and thinks he has the right one. Other wise we’re going to be asking anyone that has Direct TV if they have NFL Ticket !

    Jeff,

    If you have capitol letters in your username or password that was not there when you signed up, the system will think your not you. Don’t ask me why, it just sometimes happens. So cut and paste your original info from when you signed on and see if that fixes it.

    a “like” button would have been appropriate for your comment right?

    It is highly probable you either have an open trap or a faulty air admittance valve.

    Run water through every device in the coach that uses water to fill their respective traps. Since all devices need to be vented your system should be vented through the roof like your house is. But some vents can’t be connected to the roof vent plumbing so the converters usually use a vent that has a small ball check in it. Drain water and the valve opens. Stop water from drining and a small spring holds the ball in place to prevent odors from being drawn into the coach.

    It sounds as though if the odor is as strong as you describe that you have a negative pressure in the coach, combined with holding tank odors entering the coach through a dry P trap, a bad admittance valve or a break in the system (most unlikely).

    If the coach has been driven with the shower or bath exhaust fan open and running that could contribute. Maybe sitting still the negative pressure is not enough to draw the odors from the tank, but when driving you may have something literally sucking the air from the coach which may be drawing the odor into the coach, and if strong enough drawing the water from the traps. Do you hear any gurgling sounds as you drive?

    The alternator is bolted to the engine bracket by four bolts, through/from the bottom.

    Be sure the bolts are in place tight and not broken or stripped.

    We will be at Jeff’s for a couple of days in mid October. Sounds like at almost any given time there is a mini-rally in Venore, Tn.
