    All fuses are good.

    No power at outlets when generator is running.

    Gen. does not run long enough to trip the transfer switch.

    Bypassed the Watch Dog and put the fan in manual mode. It will not start at all in this mode. It just comes on and goes right off. Maybe 2 seconds total run time.

    Rod,

    The cooling fan should be connected to the gernerator by a small circuit breaker on the side of the electricl part of the gernerator. Not sure how Liberty is set up, but on my Royale if the cooling fan did not run the gernerator would overheat and shutdown. I needed to replace the start capacitor on my cooling fan and then everything worked again. Do you show oil pressure on the oil pressure guage during the tiime that it is running? Look for loose or disconnected wires that go to all the sensors on the generator.

    I will get some pic’s up soon. Bus is getting an outdoor entertainment/TV upgrade right now.

    They actually built a mini bedroom mid-coach, with 3 bunks and a closet. Perfect setup for kids.

    As soon as I get it back I will post a video or pictures.

    Bob Really suffering here in the keys. Coldest night so far in the last 16 days was 64 degrees. Glad not to be home.

    Tonight its going to be down to 1 degree. Rick

    Thank you Tom,

    This site has helped me so much you’ll never know. Even comparing other brands, etc., with Prevost, you all have given your honest opinions on how you feel and how your personal experience has been.

    Once we start the process (within the next month), it will probably be the end of the year at the earliest before we see a new coach. But, it certainly will be worth waiting for.

    Then, I have to sell, trade or consign our current coach which just might pay the taxes on the new one. LOL!

    Mark.

    there is a black control box on ceiling in first bay driver side. There is a power supply in that box. Donnie Myers walked us through the bypassing of breakers to get us by until we can get to him. He definitley knows his vantares! It took him about 30 seconds to diagnos the problem once I told him the symptoms.

    Generators
    normally have a voltage regulator; therefore, no regulator is required is
    require between the generator output circuit breaker and the main AC
    panel.

    There
    should be four main wires between the generator and the main AC panel. These wires are:

    • Two phase wires, (also called
      ‘Hot” wires, 240VAC between them, 120VAC to Neutral).
    • One Neutral wire, (should be at
      least the same size wire as the two phase or “Hot” wires).
    • One Ground wire, (runs from the
      frame ground terminal on the generator to the ground bus inside the main
      AC panel).


    There
    should also be ground wire from the bus frame to the ground bus in the main AC
    panel. Many people confuse ground and
    neutral wires. The purpose of the
    neutral wire, (usually white in color), is to provide a return path for 120VAC
    current to the generator. The purpose
    of the ground wire is to ensure that an electrically conductive surface, like
    the frame or aluminum skin of the bus, does not become a current carrying
    conductor when the insulation of a wire fails.

    In the AC
    world inside a bus or RV, ground wires only conduct when an energized
    conductor/wire shorts to conductive metal.
    When properly wired, this fault, (short circuit/ground fault), will
    cause the appropriate circuit breaker to trip.

    Improper grounding and/or mixing Neutral wires and ground wires can
    cause an electrocution hazard.

    several years ago Steve at California Coach got is contact a gentleman who his go-to-cruise air. Marathon quoted us a complete evaporator replacement, because no parts were available for our vintage 1992 unbts. Steve Bennett’s contact replaced an expansion valve that leaked out the R -22, charged system. It’s been working fine since Feb 2010
