    hey Gil, every so often when you run into unusual happenings, just push the button labeled Domestic battery Disconnect wait a few seconds and push it again to turn everything back on and see if that helps.

    Rodger ain’t nothing like that OTR air. Have the factory in my 91 front and center and it’s heaven in this 100 + degree heat down here in Texas. Hope somebody chimes in. Good Luck!

    if my gen is loaded and a air conditioner kicks in the current will exceed 70 and sometimes 80 amps.20 k is enough but I would not want less.

    Just wondering why a 20 KW generator would be choked down with breakers? I know the way mine is set up I can handle much greater loads than shore power and it is the default power supply in the transfer switch.

    This happens when we have to much head preasure ie condenser not getting air flow , expansion valve cloged or poa valve ,,, over charge will also make clutch slip or have you cleaned around it and got oil on it ,, good luck i hope it a bad clutch One time i had one the gap on the clutch was to much and to to move washers around the gap sholld be about the thickness of a match book some time they wear and incress this . You only have to remove the outer part of the clutch to dig out a shim washer and put it on the out side i am asuming it is a york compressor.

    my bad… I thought I was linking the one that Tom has pointed out. That’s the one I have too and for a few years now its been working without any problems.

    I will check into the ebay freon 12 supply. Thanks for the tip.

    I would prefer to stay with freon 12.

    Does anyone know the system capacity (lbs)? I can not seem to find that information in “the book”.

    November 16, 2012 at 6:50 am in reply to: Gray Water By-Pass / Holding tanks?

    Gil, you are correct about the sewer hose wash. Our original coach had two tanks and I did dump the gray water last to clean the hose.

    I have stated several times our coaches are compromises and I can see justification for both set ups. Cleaning the hose is a big advantage of two tanks. The down side is the best way to flush solids however is water volume so having a single tank that is near full with mostly gray water is surely going to scour the bottom of the holding tank.

    This is a crappy topic to be discussing.

    If those are the 5 pound pulls, I wouldn’t mind taking 10 or so off of your hands, Travelite.

    Tony,

    I don’t have the electrical diagrams from my previous coach so I am going by memory. If I am recalling correctly if everything else is engaging when you turn on the key except the starter (key in the start position) I am thinking the key switch might be bad. The fact you can rear start means the start circuit components are OK, such as the start relay in the rear box.

    I’m fuzzy on the role played by the rear selector (front, off, rear) but I think the fact with your key in the run position everything else is OK the only glitch I can think of is the “start” switch at the key. Can you lift that lower panel out and check it with an ohm meter or jump it to verify?

    Ed,

    We would sure like to see pictures of the end result. If you can’t post them, send them to me and I’ll do it for you. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

    July 21, 2012 at 4:21 pm in reply to: losing electrical function

    Correct me if I am wrong but does your pyro have a pair of needles and scales to reflect the temps in the left and right manifolds?

    On coaches I have seen equipped with pyrometers the gauge(s) monitor the left and right exhaust manifolds. I am making the assumption if is an 8V92, but if it is a Series 60 then there is a single exhaust manifiold. If that is the case I stand corrected assuming the pyros were for an 8V92.

    I should point out that the confusion in part would be because I have not known of a pyrometer gauge on Series 60 engines. I might be about to learn something new and would prove guity of making assumptions.

    Your fuses and circuit breakers on both the house and chassis, front electrical compartment (Prevost) and 2nd bay (Liberty) respectively should be numbered such that you can identify their purpose so you can be sure if resetting breakers and replacing fuses is consistent with the circuits giving the problems. If those trip or blow again, before resetting and replacing you need to find the problem with the circuit.

    Thanks for the response,I have 1 cruise air unit that I have replaced the condensing fan and 2 weeks ago it was 104 in Kentucky and that unit is the only one of 4 that did not have high pressure or thermal shutdown sometime during that heat wave,I have 2 more fans that I am going to install soon.
