Thank you Mike, very much.

My old Whirlpool still worked after 20 plus years, inverters had some issues they also were 20 plus years, It might work with old inverters but might not down the road I was told that the new electronics are way more sensitive then the old stuff

My name is Kelven Cockerham and my company is FTS – Factory Transporter Service in N.C. I have been working on Cruisair units since 1995 and worked very closely with AAP over the years. I am now the east coast distributor for the Cruisair replacement units being offered by Aqua Air. I will be selling and installing new systems, service, repair and refurb on existing Cruisair units. My home base is Mocksville, NC. but I will be offering mobile onsite options as well for those that need it. I have a complete stock of all parts for any Cruisair units including replacement compressors. Feel free to call for info, parts orders or service. The distributorship will be named FTS – AirCool to separate it from my race transporter repair business. Kelven Cockerham – 336-909-2508

Looks beautiful. That’s likely the extent of anyone’s knowledge on this forum. You MUST see it in person and you must get the service records. Check tire age (by e-mail if necessary) and question about the service records. DO NOT send a deposit (vanished if you do). Have them send plenty of pictures. Lots of scams out there so don’t fall for it. It’s likely legit, but it will be an expensive mistake if not.

You could of called Prevost Pass…and taken care of fast.

So hypothetically you need to jump your own bus while boondocking how would the charger be powered?
If on-board generator has it’s own battery that might be an option. Maybe noosnoost from house battery?

Thanks Don, and yes, have been digging deep in this thread, some of your past pic’s have really helped! I think i’m starting to get it BUT my question is now so does the Versa 102v Closed Solenoid value release the pressure enough in the line that goes back to the compressor? Definitely like the TWO Water Trap approach as well!

Dave, I’m not able to post a pix of mine right now but, if you go on Valor web site there are pix. I had my monitor mounted on the Dash just next to the backup camera screen. You can mount it where ever you like as long as you can access the back easily. Mine is mounted on Velcro

Josh, are you available for a conversation?
Who at T L C should I speak to?
Thank you, Dan

Has been no activity on this string for a while. We have been busy with other travel and just now trying to plan something for this event. I called Catherines Landing a few months ago and they said no sites open, but they said more would open in May? Did not call at start of May and they are closed for today, will check with them tomorrow.
Are there any cancellations or a wait list for the original “block” of 15 sites?

Here’s some info on CruiseAir compressor replacement:

A battery charger is a battery charger so long as its charging profile can be set for what the battery manufacturer/seller says is the profile correct for that specific battery. Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries operate at a higher voltage than their lead acid cousins whether called flooded LA, AGM, Gell Cell or sealed LA. That difference in voltage is why you should never allow a lead acid battery and a Lithium based battery to be connected together. It is also why the charging profile is different. Most of the quality inverter/chargers can be set for the profile required for either LA or Lithium based batteries so no reason to swap one for the other.
The alternator charging story is a bit different. It takes a very experienced person to safely and properly alter the charging profile output by the stock alternator/voltage regulator to provide what a lithium based battery needs. That is not a DIY project for most. Fortunately, there are now inexpensive devices that will do that for you. They are called Batter-to-Battery chargers and are connected between lead acid and lithium based batteries of the same nominal voltage. In addition to automatically altering the charge profile internally, they also prevent the flow of voltage from the lithium to the lead acid battery when there is no charge current present thereby acting as a battery isolator and they also limit the amount of amperage that can be drawn from the alternator by the lithium batteries to protect the alternator from over heating. That is less of an issue for Prevost conversions given the size and duty cycle of the very large alternators most of us have, but is a major issue for van and smaller motor home conversions. As the size of the lithium house battery bank is increased it can become an issue that must be addressed even for our Prevost conversions.
