The issue is not the PSI from my view… it is the cubic feet per minute delivering rate. The bus comes with a 2.5 CFM aux kit in all likelihood… that takes me forever to deliver 120 PSI.
Do not be fooled by the PSI.. it can be 150 PSI but with a 2.5 CFM …. it will be slow.
I just bought a 5.5 CFM …. the advantage also is that when it is necessary for the unit to cycle for whatever purpose, it is brief.

If it’s the combination of the loose mounting plate and the sharp bend through the door that’s giving you fits, maybe you can create a short 50A pigtail cable until you can fix the mounting plate. Plug that in without the additional challenges, then run the longer cable through the door and join them. I’m not sure it’d be more cost effective than just fixing it though.
Come to think of it, can’t you just pull about six feet through and make a wide bend rather than that sharp 90 degree bend? Get it plugged in and then wiggle and twist as you pull the excess cord back out. I suppose I may be missing something in your post.

Lowes has the pancake compressor for 99 bucks. 150 psi. Most Lowes stores have them in stock.

I’m sure some will disagree with me, but my logic for carrying a compressor is that I’m not comfortable using the bus’s air system to inflate tires. It seems there’s a number of posts about people chasing air leaks and understanding that I have a lot to learn about what NOT to do when connecting the bus compressor to the tires, I felt it would be less expensive to purchase an air compressor.
I chose to go with a Viair model and while I initially couldn’t figure out how to get it to properly inflate the bus tires, after a call to tech support I learned it was operator error and put together a video of my experience.

If you are full timing space and weight are two considerations regarding supports to get beneath the coach.
I use either stands or a bottle jack such as shown below in my garage. In your case I would suggest the bottle jack because a pair of them will lift or support the coach, front or rear. As either a jack or stand it serves both purposes so the space required to carry them with you is minimal and well used.
This is from Harbor Freight.

Trouble shooting reveals no power to the voltage regulator with ignition on and engine running. Can anyone tell me where the Ver gets its power and is the a relay or breaker involved.
Thanx buds.

Harry,
I know that you didn’t ask me but it got me to thinking about us not finding a appropriate spot at a RV park.
At first I was thinking that it never happened then it popped into my memory. Our previous coach was a 42 ft. Dynasty. It has only happened once that I decided not to stay at a park. The park was just outside Seattle, WA.
The spot was too tight (in my opinion). I just didn’t want to be crammed in, especially, when we put our slides out.
So, in 110,000 miles and 10 yrs. of RVing in two different coaches, it happened only once but there is always tomorrow!
Jerry, you certainly did dodge a bullet. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Safe travels,
Mark

Dick,
The cheese has finally got the best of you. Fat chance any call from Sid to Maurice about a tire problem would get any response beyond voicemail.
You’re in never never land if you need a 365 on the road boys.

Did locate that breaker, it is not thrown. Did throw and reset but no change.
Thank you for the input.

Many years ago we were parked in the downtown St. Louis RV park and had 70 MPH sustained winds hitting us broadside. One of the worst nights we ever had in a coach. Our satellite dish was banging on the roof and the coach rocked so bad I eventually let all the air from the air bags out. It helped a little with the rocking, but the bus still was moving around.
That morning the interstate was shut down because the large iron electric transmission towers had collapsed from the winds laying power lines across all lanes of the interstate. It was scary, but no damage.
I never want to find out how hard it has to blow to lay a coach over on its side.

Never gonna happen in my lifetime. No way in hell that you can carry enough battery capacity and still haul a 47000+ pound load of freight and go 600 to 800+ miles a day. Same with coaches…plugging into the 50 amp service can’t even handle all of the electric loads I can turn on without blowing the breaker. Now you think you can add battery charging to it?
Another pipe dream from the politically correct morons. Long live fossil fuel. It is still the best way to power vehicles.

If our generator can get .75 gal per hour could they not put a gen on each each truck to charge the batteries as needed? just a thought from the peanut gallery

Part number for the 315 is now 09807 and as Jon said 52215 for 365…

Sorry Gang but I’m new at this…What does ETLC stand for? I assume it’s a dealer/maintenance facility…
Thanks
