I am certain every Blue Beacon has quality standards that vary based on its manager, just like every Prevost owner has his own standards.

BB does not meet mine, but as age, balance, leg weakness, etc. keep affecting me there is no doubt my standards are going to change.

Thanks Mikee, I probably didn’t make my description too clear, i can actually start the Gen in manual mode (After about 4 or 5 attempts) and it will run for as long as i want it to. Last weekend while tailgating, actually ran it over 40 hours, so I don’t think its a fuel issue. It’s getting fuel, i know that for sure as i disconnected the line to the injectors and that sucker sprayed all over ME!

My gut feeling is it’s something that needs to reset to clear the UU code, I’m no GEN expert by no means, but something is just hanging it up, i mean to run for 40 hours with NO issues, it’s just getting it started… CRAZY

BUT, definitely appreciate any advice ….

[Bob]

Thank you, Jack.

Can I switch it over with the generator running or is it better not to have neither the generator or shore power hooked up when switching?

[Bob]

Yes, our has the Tivoli master switch too. It’s what activates the solenoid/relay I pictured.

[Bob]

We have 4 on ours and the front one is locked up, so a new option would be great. Running new lines sounds like a PITA…

[Bob]

Got it figured out, Schematics did not help much but they got me close, Inside the metal door has info and it shows breaker for sun visor it is CB126 power only with main switch on, I capped off wire marked it and ran a new fuse link with a 3 amp fuse, It goes to original CB126 3 amp breaker so double protected then connected to lug 112 that is hot 24v all the time not switched

Jon,

Any update on this our 2012 Towd died this week and a 2023 Jeep GC is on my short list. I recalled this thread and now not sure if I dare go down this path? Anyone else with a 2022 or 2023 GC with ot without issues?

Any other suggestions on a comparable Towd

Thank you

Bill

Even My House I’m going to install one, The hotter it is outside the more head pressure there is and the more amps on start up and harder to start you will here the louder it is on start up, Yesterday at home it was unusually hot, and it the late afternoon the compressor outside stopped working, Pulled the cover off and one of the smaller wire on the capacitor burned at the terminal, I’m sure it was a loose connection but because of the high amps in the heat of the day, soft start capacitor amps would be way less, easer on everything.

• Being a previous 96 42 ft series 60 bird owner the difference is day and night,our 98 XL drives and rides like a dream. Enough said.

[Bob]

I can feel the lumpiness off idle, slight vibration in the strg wheel at idle and lack of power on any grade at all.

[Bob]

Nice install Steve.

Twice a yr our aft CruiseAir needs roughly 1 Lb of R22 freon added. Today was one of those 2 days. For me to get to the unit to recharge it I have to remove the fresh water tank, a 15 min job. Started at 9am and was done by noon. Good to go again till next spring.

I add a little bleach when adding water back into the fresh water tank. We don’t drink that water.

[Bob]

Done. Thanks Tom & Nancy…

We just got back from our trip to Alaska. We traveled the Alcan late May, spent June around Alaska, then headed back to Canada June 30 – now in Edmonton. The Alcan had a washout and closed for a few days the day before we were going by, so we drove the Cassiar highway back which was new to us. If I can provide any information let me know. Overall had a great experience with no major issues. Got an air hose replaced in Edmonton on the way up (found a great shop that maintains bus lines in Canada) but otherwise all good.

No, not really on the fuel filter. Filters clog up gradually, and thus restrict the flow. Typically they show up under full load as the filter can’t supply enough fuel for the engine to run smoothly. As you get off of it, the flow requirements lessen and the miss clears up. Good idea to start with the fuel filter(s).

Turbo speed sensor would typically (not always) show up as excessive smoke from the exhaust.
