Like your bus if you use it, explore it, take the time to self teach you will get a lot out of this forum.

As coaches got more loads the batteries had greater demands.
When we are on shore power, no problems as long as we manage loads.
When we are dry camping if we shut off the generator we have multiple loads going on all the time. Phantom loads are always there ranging from TV memories, alsrm systems, refrigerators, etc. Most coaches are fine running all night long, but when you have to use the webasto or A/Cs all bests are off because both can draw a lot of current.

met Prevo (prevost) owners that are real people and enjoyed fellowship with non prevost owners. Judy is still trying to do tooooo much! Tried a elect cart at Lowes. Not a fit for her!!!!!!! Be careful how you approach people on them. She is on me now to get outside more presentable.. It’s on the list! She is real Bored. Many sob (some other brand) have changed their minds about Prevost owners..

Ive been driving around central florida the past couple weeks reviewing damages from Irma. If anyone is still dealing with cleanup where insurance isn’t helping out and needs help, try contacting crisiscleanup.org. They are a clearing house for faith/local/national organizations that provide volunteer cleanup help.
Insurance doesn’t help when it comes to trees down that didn’t land on a covered dwelling/structure. I know I have talked with a couple WWII vets that can’t get out there and cut trees up and move the debris and Insurance just doesn’t cover it as it didnt land on their house. I always recommend CrisisCleanup as I know they partner with Team Rubicon (vet based volunteer organization for cat response).
If you are able to help, hook up with some of the groups out there, neighbors really need the help. If I wasn’t working 7 days a week. 12+ hour days, I would be out with Team Rubicon (ye, im not a vet, but I appreciate what they do for vets and for people in need) helping people deal with what they can’t afford or do themselves.

The alternator regulator controls alternator output.
Depending on the type of regulator, fixed or adjustable, internal or external, there is some control over output, but the charge current for bulk and absorb on AGMs has to be higher than the typical 27.7 V setting Prevost calls for. I believe the setting is meant to be a safe one that will not “cook” a battery, especially one likely to be exposed to temperatures significantly greater than ambient.
Regarding the use of the generator let’s just say some people have different ideas and are willing to try things. I think it will ultimately prove inadequate and likely to bring about some battery life issues. What I want to know is why it is being considered.
The Vanner equalizer only maintains a relationship between the 24V value and the 12V value, and it maintains the 12V value at 1/2 of the 24V value within 1/2 volt. I can’t and won’t increase the 24V value.

Diane, You weren’t supposed to let anyone know. Tom thinks he has been getting all the dues…..

I’ve got an electric model myself and check to see if you’ve got 12 volt power. I’ve got a 12 volt panel in mine marked toilet. Also a toggle inside under porcelain back cover if microphor. More than likely electric problem if working before.

Yes, we had no choice. I’ve been trying to get in touch with Cory for several months and no luck.
-
Microphor?

Tom,
With the old site My browser would remember the user name and password. And when You first changed to the new format with the log in at the bottom. It would remember it also. After it was moved to the top. No Joy on my browser remembering the info. Using iPad Pro with Safari. So if it is solely a browser function , There is something missing in Your format to trigger it. I have to enter name and password every time I visit the site.
The old site had a tick box with the log in that said ” remember me ” or something like that didn’t it ?

Dan and Judy with your coach all busted up now is your opportunity to step up a Liberty! Jump in! You’ll enjoy the water like the rest of us.

Why is our login not stored? It is a PIA to have to type in user name and password each time you visit using my iPad.

Hi Andy, I see now it shows 76 but you’re not really going to repaint the coach because of it are you? As others have said, “Its part of the history of the coach”.
Another option is to donate your bus to the “Harry Save the World Foundation”! To show my heart is in the right place I’ll even pick it up at your place, NO delivery needed! I know what you’re thinking “pretty magnanimous of you Harry”?
That’s what they call me on the continent, magnanimous Harry!

I do not have a chassis battery charger on the coach yet. I do have one that was on trolling motor batteries that I changed out for a larger one. When I went to a 36V 110# thrust on My river jet boat. Turns out it is a Marinco guest charger like Don’s. And now I know where I need to mount it. This charger will go to float and not fry My chassis batteries. They are made to leave plugged up and only top off the batteries when needed. I will probably just plug it up with an extension cord in the shop. That will keep Me from having to worry about another switch to turn off and on. Besides , I bet it is a PIA to get a circuit back there.
Thanks for the picture Don !

We had a good week in Nederland, TX feeding those who lost everything. We are going back Sunday to Nederland to man the laundry and shower units.
