Tom, next owner will appreciate the new refrigerator

[Corey]

We have purchased three coaches from Lon and each time was a quality experience. Lon keeps his promises and has been fair and honest with us. There are many multi-purchase customers, sign of a good dealer.

Greg is a great technician and really knows Prevost conversions.

Larry, what is it doing? Which part is acting up?

[Corey]

We learned today it’s dry camping. I won’t be setting in a parking lot with 40 buses on generators and 3′ between parking spots.

[Corey]

We’ll find out what that error code is.

Nice property, you can’t go wrong and the barn is a perfect size.

[Corey]

Who is interested in going to this one?

Thanks for the input.

Tom, I think you mean to say that 7.5 on each remote equals 15 amps total, not 7.5 amps total. To clarify, I only have power going into 1 of the legs of the cheater box, so only one of the 10amp settings is having any effect. Right ? I sert it to 10amps instead of 15 amps to further reduce the chance of blowing the shore breaker.

A question: What have others experienced is the effect of governing the draw with a limitation set on the size of the shore power cord ? If this limits the draw like it’s supposed to, then shouldn’t stuff in the coach cease to work properly when you start turning too much stuff on ? I do not think anything stops working properly as a result of the 10amp setting. The building is locked with no access to the breaker so I can’t do a lot of testing or I’ll loose power but I think if I start exceeding the power the shore breaker still trips despite whatever you set the shore power at. I’m certain it does from experience. Is the shore power cord size REALLY working to limit / govern the power that the coach requests from the shore cord ?
Or does it “sort of” work ?

Also, a concern. The Leviton surge protector, which is converter installed, is beeping, presumably becuase only one leg of power is hot. Is this of any concern other than possibly wearing out the audiable alarm ? Is it just letting me know that my shore power isn’t ideal / right and gonig to both legs ? Or is it sniffing another problem with the one leg that is going in ?

Further, I get one Inverter / charger to work but not the other one when I try to switch the single 15amp shore power cord between legs on the cheater box. I seem to notice this happening hit and miss depending on the health of the various 15 amp shore power (I think) but I have to do some more observing when I try other 15 amp shore power sources to confirm how consistantly this is happening and if recall correclty. Has anyone else experienced this ? Makes me wonder if the Leviton is the thing that may be allowing power to pass through on one leg but not the other. Power does not work at all on one leg, but works (with the audible alarm and the red light on the Leviton) on the other side. I have a new 50amp male shore power end on it’s way to replace the one now which is hurt from one blade overheating (from a poor connection Jon ponited out in a prior post) so that seems like it could be it………..yet that hurt 50amp plug is not stopping power when power goes to both legs at the same time.
But that easliy could be the problem nevertheless I think.

Finally. Jon wrote: “No matter what source of power is used for a device,
whether it is 120V like appliances, or 12V like lighting you are drawing
from your 15 amp plug.“

Question: Then why does my battery bank voltage drop when I plug the toaster in ? The 110 outlets are on the inverter going through the battery bank, not direcly to the 15amp plug. I refered to this as “indirect” power” in my post and what I feel is a somewhat “safer” power (when heating the coach with the Aqua Hot) for not blowing the breaker since the battery bank acts as a buffer to cushion the draw. The power has to be put back in with the chargers, yes, but f I have my max charge rate set low then flipping on a toaster, a hair dryer and a other high draw inverter fed (as oppposed to direct fed) gear is in fact somewhat different than the “shore power only” heavey applicances such as the W & D, A/C’s, water heater, etc. You know what I’m saying ? One is direct and the other indirect as respects the draw on the shore power. Correct me if this is not accurate.

Pull slowly, those springs are like a mouse trap. Peter always has Trina do it so as not to break his nails.

[Corey]

The remotes should be set to 7.5 each, not 10.

[Corey]

On the holding tanks the nipple goes to a short rubber conector(fernco) then that is connected to the copper pipes…

It is a sad commentary when we give a company our business not because they are great, but because their competitor is not.

We are signing up for Nashville May 2015..

That cracked me up Eric, here was a photo and it was YOURs..

[Corey]

tom, i was thinking the replacement vavle comes with the orings. if they dont, i will make sure to recover the orings from the existing valves.

[Corey]

That is a Jeff or Liberty question, but I would want to clarify what I think you are saying. With the exception of the red displays that show voltage and amps for both legs of the electrical panel you indicate everything is working.

In other words you have shore power into the coach and all load center circuits have power? You have power to all functions (or will if you turn on the circuit breaker) including those that are not powered by the inverters?

Additionally, on the inverter remote panels you show good battery voltage as well as charging current and the little green circuit breaker lights next to the battery charger #1 and #2 circuits are lit?

If so it sounds like the input(s) for the displays is not attached. I have never dealt with that but logic suggests that is the problem. I just had my load center panel out last week but didn’t pay attention to how the display is connected or where it gets inputs.
