Auto transfer switches are very simple relays and easy to change if you can get to them and if they are not built into the inverter/charger(s). My suggestion would be to separate the transfer function from the power protection function by using a power pole plug in unit for the latter and any auto transfer switch for the former. If you want to add soft start for all you induction loads then uses the Active Start plug in unit that also has all the power protection functions. If you don’t care about soft start for the induction loads then use some other brand of power protection plug in units.

What about the head room if doing this in a legacy XL replacing Dometic units?

[Jack]

They do make inverters with built in transfer switches

George,

There is a good (older) thread on this subject. Seems Total Vision was well liked.

Dash Camera Thread

Currently, seems like Haloview seems to be well liked and well priced.

Zero issues with Williams. They are knowledgeable and know what they are doing.

[Jack]

Thanks. TPS sounds like a cheap easy way to start looking for the issue.

It’s a 2006 H3-45 featherlite series 60 14L this is the second injector in a year. I am going to let them replace the rest this time it’s not a bad job on my bus I don’t have engine brakes just transmission retarter. I fixed the turbo boost issue this morning another vpod but I had a spare with me it’s not that bad a job just in a bad location. So have an appointment at WW Williams Wednesday morning for the mis/injector issue but at least I can drive it there no towing. Thanks again

please read and understand the following Detroit document.

https://dtnacontent-dtna.prd.freightliner.com/content/dam/public/dtna-servicelit/ddc/pdfs/Lube_Oil_Coolant/DDC-SVC-BRO-0002_2020.pdf

On page 3 it states:

For Extended Life Coolants (ELC)

All ELCs used must also meet Detroit 93K217 specification. Detroit™ requires that these types of coolants to be free of nitrite and phosphate. Detroit™ has found that ELCs containing nitrite may lead to a breakdown of the coolant and

subsequent damage to the cooling system.

It also states on page 3:

For Standard Life Coolants (SLC)

Standard Life Coolant (SLC) contains inhibitor salts, including nitrites, to prevent liner cavitation.

The two Exhaust pipes for gen and aqua hot come out in front of driver side drive tire clears the ramp but close, so I raising back of bus 1/2 inch is better, I tested it before I put ramps under,In manual no problem, Last 5 foot the front goes up and have stops on all ramps, Amazing how easy it goes up on ramps, I always have a spotter for me when I drive up, Today I gave it a once over while it was on ramps, Tomorrow I will pull it off ramps drive it up to temp and check dipstick then shift pad for fluid level. As for waiting for forum I’m impatient and some times no replys so I figure it out.

[Jack]

Hi All,

I have a set of ramps like that for sale in Leesburg, FL. $500.00 and you pick up or arrange shipping. They are heavy but very solid.

Do you have a Liberty 12v Classic? or a 24v Lady?

June of 2016 I replaced my 12v/2500w Freedom inverter/chargers with MagnumEnergy MS2812 12v/2800w. Here’s a link for the MS2812:

At the time Lifepo4 wasn’t a thing so I installed MagnumEnergy ME-RC remotes. Nowadays they offer ME-ARC remote witch has a pre-programmed setting for Lifepo4 batts. Here’s a link for the ME-ARC remote:

Dec of 2021 I installed/switched from Lifeline agm 12v house batts to Renogy Lifepo4 12v house batts. Here’s a thread I did:

/threaddetails.asp?Category=Electrical%3E&ThreadID=13593

After I installed the Lifepo4 batts, and to this very day, I continue to use the regular ME-RC remotes. I custom set the way I want to charge the Lifepo4 batts with the “Custom” and “CC/CV” setup functions.

No regrets. Everything is still going strong.

Your results may vary

Good morning Don

Can you provide more information on the magnum MS2812 that you installed?

can you provide more information on the magnum MS2812 that you installed?

I see some members online have added remotes and options and not sure what direction to go. I do have LiPo batteries as replacement for my house batteries. Not sure the extras are required and still believe in the keep it simple process.

‘thanks for anything you can offer
