We were in Jackson Calif 2 weeks ago and when we got there it was 89 degrees and later it was 110 degrees and 1st time using the Hughes Autoformer, with Autoformer plugged in and boosting all 3 roof ac’s running my AC volts were 118v on leg 1 abd 119v on leg 2, I’ve been in 110 degrees before at around 112 to 113 volts with out Autoformer and ac’s did not work nearly as well, I was impressed with the performance of 22 year old Dometic ac’s.Does not matter if roof or basement ac’s if you have low volts and high amps it will struggle.

if they were 215 I would be on way to Georgia

Don thanks for the recap as will proceed and see what the issues are.
Thanks,

Rick I hope my idea doesn’t confuse you, can you open up wire door on drivers side locate wires for air lock switch and power up one or other with a jumper along with air,should switch valve to release.

A 24′ v-nose enclosed race car trailer can be used for a variety of things. We have 2 homes 1000 miles apart. We’ve hauled a combination of furniture, Polaris RZR, a smaller trailer, fertilizer, tools, lawn mowers, our Toyota(which we usually tow 4 down), between our homes.

“I am thinking down the road that if something happened to my husband or we become unable to hitch up our jeep together, that a small enclosed trailer might be the way to go. Any thoughts?”
We flat tow a small car and once in a while put a race car in a trailer and pull that with the Prevost. Having to deal with pulling the ramp door down, getting the car in the trailer, struggling to get out of the car, tying the car down safely, closing the ramp door, and then dealing with pulling the trailer with the coach is MONUMENTAL compared to hooking up a flat tow.
A “small trailer” to put a car into just doesn’t exist. You don’t need a 30′ stacker to haul a car, but the minimum is 20′ long and a full 8.5′ wide (just as wide as the coach); unless you want to haul a SmartCar.

We have the Tank Sentry by Headhunte in our Liberty.
Keeping the hoses sealed & the system calibrated can be tricky.
Not sure if it will help; but here’s link to a video outlining calibration:

Did you take that list to an automotive paint store? Based on the limited experience I’ve had in buying paint for our race car, I think the numbers are somewhat universal.
You might not be able to get the same “kind” of paint today that was used on your coach when you bought it. I think that “bullet-proof” paints for aircraft and high end vehicles from the 1990’s were banned.

Do you have amp meters? they show how many amps each of the 50 amp legs is consuming.
My bus has adjustable timers in the transfer switch. One for setting the time before gen power is allowed onboard, and another for the shore power. See pic below.It sounds like your gen is over heating, that’s why it shuts down. My gen(17.5kw) can run multiple ACs and charge batteries at the same time. Loose fan belt behind the radiator? Loose water pump belt on the gen engine? -
yes sure , sent

Marshall,
Do you mean Xantrex?

Everybody would like more HP. Everybody wants better fuel mileage. Depending on the model year a simple owner installed EGR delete is available called “Ugly Fix”. For coaches that have default settings that disable the EGR above 11,000 feet in altitude the “Ugly Fix” will not allow the EGR to function.
The EGR disable will likely add about .5 MPG. Additionally it will not cause exhaust gases from being returned to the engine intake. That anecdotally may prevent premature engine repairs. No proof of that, but that is an often mentioned side benefit.
Disabling the EGR does not increase power.
If power is increased there is a risk. Our cooling systems are designed to reject heat based on the HP of the engine. I can run the longest, steepest hill on the hottest day and not ever risk overheating. But if my HP was increased I risk generating more heat due to the increased HP and my cooling system might not be sufficient to reject that heat, resulting in DDEC pulling back on power to prevent over heating.
If HP will be increased have a plan on how to make the cooling system more efficient so the added HO does not cause 9over heating.

Just remember you need to keep each leg under 15 amps.
