Try to bypass your inverters and batteries they can cause all kinds of problems if not working correctly. You should have a switch to select shore power with out going through the inverters somewhere on the coach. If I am understanding your issue correctly this will help you isolate it to inverter or batteries.

Oh… utilities
I should have put electric main on center of wall instead of front. Running lighting wire the length is a pain. Yep, 1st world problem.
Have your entry door(s) located so your not walking over water, sewer, electric.

I talked to Bill Doherty of Liberty Coach. He explained to me that there is a toggle switch with a red “safety cover” that’s in the electrical bay next to the partition that separates the electrical bay from the generator radiator. There are instructions on a placard for its use that I did NOT apparently did not read. While I haven’t tested it yet, Bill said this toggle switch needs to be in the “UP” position so that generator radiator blower runs when the generator is started from the back of the Kohler generator rather than off the Allen-Bradley touch screens.
So … the mystery is solved.

The one on top of the condenser box? I was able to R&R it with just that access panel you have open, reaching up and feeling around. It was awkward, but doable. I didn’t have to remove or disconnect anything else to make extra room.

Dick, that is what AAA required of me also. They needed a $5000 down payment to open the case that would be applied to the charges or reimbursed if not used. I am pretty self sufficient at this point, and am not asking for trouble but i think i keep a close enough eye on things bus related and getting towed would be on the lower half of my concerns list. That is just me, I spend a lot of time with my bus and do all my own work.

Horrible experience with Good Sam’s. Switched to Coach Net, have not had any claims experience with them yet.
Avoid Good Sam’s

I am suprised this has not generated any response. This is a very exciting event, multiple vendors with coaches for sale in one location. Opportunity to compare differences in multiple converters. Additionally a lot of good food and beverage to share with a new acquaintance at lunch and dinner. Everyone there is a owner or wannabe Prevost driver.
Opportunity to learn from others experiences.

Sounds like something to try out in New Braunfels!

I never use mine, i think i deployed them once in Utah, and as soon as the wind picked up one of the arms flipped back up against the bus.

I’m not understanding why relocating to the roof is the solution. First, the Cruisair units don’t “suck” hot air from the ground. They actually pull air through the condenser and blow the air to the ground. Now, the air in the front bumper area may be hotter than air on the roof, but at the same time, the air on the roof is exposed to the outside directly. Air on the roof seems like it would be hotter, but it’s probably not. The air in the front bumper area is probably ideal when the bus is moving, however, I don’t run the units as I have OTR. As for the other Cruisair units in the middle of the 2nd bay area, they only get air from two little 120V fans which seems like a Liberty after thought.
Let’s also mention that A/C units don’t cool air, they remove heat from air. There is a difference.
It’s strange to me that roof air’s are so efficient. They only have one motor with two sides on a single shaft. A lot of the traditional RV’s have the inlet and outlet right next to each other and yet the air coming into the RV is super cool.
I don’t know what it would be like to have roof airs in a big tin can Prevost bus compared to the Cruisiar. But 3 Cruisair units barely keep the bus at 82-83 degrees in Texas with 98 degree weather. I do think that humidity plays a role is removing heat from the air. I usually never run all 4 at the same time.
My point is, is it really the fact that the Cruisiair units are not efficient? Or it more so that the bus is just one huge tin can that heats up with all the SS wrapped around it?
Would have to have some input from folks that owned both in the same type of RV. Roof air vs Cruisiar. 4x 14K BTU and it can’t keep the bus cold?

I will be removing my Zip Dee awnings this weekend and starting my paint work. Not sure, i will be reinstalling them, I think these busses look more streamline without the awnings sticking out.

You usually need to book months, if not a year in advance too

You can go ll the way to Key West, if your wallet will hold out. The further you go the more expensive it gets.

Got to love Harbor Freight. I have purchased various “cheep” Harbor Freight tool to just through ONE job. 10-15 years later I am still using the “cheap” tool. LOL
