    Just so folks who are relatively new owners do not get confused it should be noted that coach electrical systems as they relate to the inverters and shore power vary to a great extent.

    Not all inverters can be set to limit current draw from shore power. Some can be programmed for lower charge rates. Some have a myriad of features. Some are very basic and changes of a limited nature can only be accomplished by DIP switches on the rear of a remote.

    What is important for owners to understand is your best information is going to come from the inverter owner’s manul or the converter. Converters often make running improvements in their designs and systems and it is entirely possible that two owners of the same conversion only a few build numbers apart could have two completely different operating systems as relates to the inverters.

    Sharing information is good as long as everyone recognizes it has to be verified as to being valid for a specific coach.

    Bob and Gerri: Welcome to the club! You’ll enjoy your time at the seminar and ETLC.

    Building a bus barn? You should start a thread about your build. What you’re thinking of, location, constraints you have, amenities, etc. etc.

    There are lots of PC members just itching to help you spend your bus barn money!

    Walt,

    Your photos and written description are well done and make it clear to me the Liberty pull down lights and the Marathon twist lock lights are opened or serviced in two different ways. So as far as how to access bulbs on the tyoe used by Marathon owners need to understand getting some “traction” so the 1/8 turn can be accomplished is the key to those lights. Those with the lights described by Dick are a different type of fixture and will require a stright pull down from their mounted position.

    But the issue you are having with the photos we will continue to work on. Our web guru said in his last response he is rewriting some code. I will alert him to your comments. It will be a big help if you can tell us the device you are using, and photo details.

    OK Tom. IS MY FACE RED !!!!! Look at who posted that on the map??You can put an S for ‘stupid’ on my forehead at the next gathering. Seriously, I have had my brain wrapped around the problem that I did not even think of the MAP. I will blame it on age.

    For what it is worth on this conversation:

    We entertain a lot at the college footbal games so we have an electric grill hanging from the top of the third passenger side bay…It slides out well beyond the lifted bay door. Its’ top is about 10 inches wide and about 15 inches long… It has two electric coils in the coals under the grill..It cooks steaks like crazy and any type of potted food to be prepared. It is easy to clean. By hanging from the top, I have the entire bottom of the bay for storage.

    We cook outside a great deal… so it is important to us. We carry an electric oven that looks like a large serving pot that will cook anything from a 20 pound turkey to a biscuit. It is from Sears at a cost of less than $40….really great.

    In addition… I carry a small charcoal burning grill for overload.

    The 3rd bay back next to the grill bay has the audio system and the 37 inch slide out T V. …I have the TV operating off of the bedroom receiver via a cable. ….Not too fancy but very nice and works for us.

    OK, Geo, I will buy that.

    What you experienced is instructional and if you don’t mind sharing can you start by telling us if you have the Knorr-Bremse brakes or the Rockewell. The reason I ask is one has a diaphragm and a diaphragm can start leaking slow, and get very bad very fast.

    Did you see excessive cycling in the primary and secondary gauges? I would expect for the air loss to have been sufficient to fail to hold back the spring brake the pressures would have been running low or cycling quickly.

    Do you know if these are the original brake chambers? If not any clue as to the age?

    Buddy, real race have cars detatchable steering wheels, and even then it gets harder every year to get in and out of. And that’s with no doughnuts or cake. Geo.
