Unless you are powering the coach from 2 different and out of phase inputs, you should be able to power the coach from 1 15A GFCI protected circuit. Try to turn off the breakers to anything 220 powered and see if that works. If not, turn off all breakers except one battery charger and give it a try.

If nothing works, and you can get to the breaker, change the GFCI outlet to a regulat outlet. If you ask to change the outlet the owner should say no as the GFCI outlet is required if it’s outside.

Thanks for waking up a sleeping jobber.

[Dale]

Thanks Al!

That explains that.

Great info Jim, I’ll let you know how it turns out.

Should perhaps have included these photos before:

The first two are the headlight and marker switches (front and back).

The second pair are the two rheostats (front and back).

No loose wires found, no circuit breakers popped.

At 62 mph there are very few people I will have to engage in conversation.

In RV parks that will be another story, but I’ll have Di participate in the conversation. It was her car. Mine was a 37 Ford 2 door slantback, 60 HP flathead.

Hish,

What Gil is talking about is where it get’s confusing and I’m glad he explained it.

I have a 100 amp for chassis and a 270 amp for house and both are 24 volt alternators, the battery equalizer gets me 12 volts on the chassis side. Tell me if I’m wrong guys but that is the way I believe it works.

Later

Tom and Nancy back on the road again in there new Marathon H out of KC to Nashville, Wednesday morning.

Just a little drama over a check engine light coming into KC.

The engine boost is fixed and back at 100% turning out to be a wiring issue with a harness recall. Nashville will cure it permanently… Truk’s next stop.

A replacement of the A-35 A/C compressor belt which Tom found had a cut. A quick trip to our local NAPA store had one in stock. Crossed my fingers calling for a stock check, they had one. Never would of heard the end of that conversation had NAPA been a zero count. Out came the heavy duty 1/2 drive sockets and wrenches for replacement.

Also Tom and Nancy had a little boost themselves at our favorite local Mexican restaurant. Oh… did I mention margaritas, getting our nose into a couple of them.

Great visit

We purchased from Panterra last year and they were great to deal with.

Taptalk doesn’t cost forum owners anything. The users have to buy an app if they want to use it. It is cheap, and it is good. You can do a web version of a site with your smart phone… with lots of scrolling. Taptalk just converts it to fit your screen. It’s more than that, but that is it’s basic role.

As far as security of ‘canned’ software, I have to disagree. Eagles International is one of my forums. It is based on a popular forum software. But it is very far from canned. How far you customize from the original software is up to the imagination, knowledge, and dedication of the webmaster. Privacy and security has always been my main concern at Eagles Intermational too. I started the EI forum in 2008, and to date not one spammer has ever gotten past security. And no member’s information has been compromised.

None of that is pointed at whether Tapatalk is used on this forum or not. I generally use my iPad instead of my phone, and the webs version is fine. I was just answering questions about what Tapatalk is, and defending against the idea that if you start with a bulletin board program of some sort, then you have security issues.

I got the electric LF-220. It is all jacked up! The folks at Ed Mullaney were very helpful. Even to the point of telling me upfront that it could cost $50 or $1000! No way to tell until we were in there. So I am pulling it out and replacing it with regular toilet. Looking at the Aqua Magic and a couple of others. I need bone color, china,high profile, with water saver. Any suggestions are appreciated. Don’t need $1000+ toilet. Just something that is fairly nice and works. I think the Aqua Magic V was about $330.

I had the front panel off under the dash yesterday looking at my electric wiper system. I noticed the air door for the driver that is controlled by the knob on the dash was filthy. So was the filter under it. So dirty that even the evaporator or whatever that is beneath the filter was also filthy. Not sure if this has anything to do with your issue, but it seems like it could sure keep cool air from coming through.

Of course, my bus air don’t work anyway. Freon tank is bone dry. My system has been converted to R134. Someone told me that you have to put all new hoses on or the 134 will leak out. Not sure if this is correct. The conversion was done at Prevost Nashville. But anyway, all the freon is gone. Gonna get a buddy of mine to leak test it next week. I heard you could get a deal on 30 lbs of 134 at Costco. Hopefully, freon will get it working. Oddly enough, even the fans don’t blow. Wondering if there is some sort of lockout that stops the whole system if it gets low on freon.
