    Jon, LOL, You’re right. The knowledge here on the forum is truly amazing. Not all circumstances are the same. It helps to get different points of view. Kind of like getting directions. You can make the wrong turn and go 100 miles out of the way or turn around within a couple miles and get back on track. Truly amazing!

    On our Liberty, there were 2 relays inside the transfer switch, one for shore power and one for the generator. They are identical. You can try swapping those to see if that corrects your problem.

    When one of mine failed, I replaced both and kept the old “good” one as an emergency spare.

    Rob,

    Here’s
    a pretty good article on fuel
    algae.
    http://www.diesel-fuels.com/index.php

    There
    is no mistaking if you have algae, the fuel filter will be completely
    black and slimy I had it happen years ago in my Marathon, but it
    was run almost every month. I don’t remember what I added to the
    fuel, but it only happened one time and I never saw it again. The
    Racor looked fine when looking at the site glass, but as soon as I
    pulled the filler, it was nasty black and slimy.

    Mr. D,

    Yes and no. Prevost has been very consistent in how they run the pneumatics and the electrical systems from model year to model year, but those schematics are coach specific. In general for an overview you can work on one year coach while looking at the schematic from another year but Prevost makes running changes so you really need to look at the diagrams specific to the VIN.

    There are changes that may not impact the area you are trouble shooting, but there can be changes that will lead you astray so it is worth the effort.

    Obvously you need to get the proper drawings when you are dealing with coaches that have vastly different electrical systems such as those with the multiplex system compared to the non-multiplex coaches. But even with significant differences you will find consistency. On any coach, any model, any year the ignition circuit is going to be 85 so some things aren’t going to change. It is only when you get into the details that you need appropriate diagrams.

    The two are unrelated. Even if you disconnect the GFI and then turn on the circuit the light will be the same. One way to check it is to trip the GFI. That interrupts power to the outlets which is the same as removing the GFI.

    Jon you are the man. The smell must b the batteries when the chargers are trying to charge them. I have worked with bad batteries and alternators and sulfur egg smells but all those were wet cell and these are gel cell that were dead for long years

    Bryan,

    It should be an open vent, wouldn’t think you could damage anything by running a flexible “snake” down it. If the gray is draining slow, that’s a good indication of something blocked in the vent somewhere.

    When looking for new Bosch fridge like these other than the size is there somthing other i should look for like the retainers on the drawers and the way they are made to hold the stuff from going everywhere when turning or stopping? Most RV type fridge run on gas but this is 110v.
