    It would be interesting to know if anyone has a system like John describes and if so is there any learning curve. In the case of mirrors we drivers are so acclimated to sighting down the side of our coaches that we interpret what we are seeing automatically. We can judge distances to an extent, we can measure relative speeds and see clues like a driver turning his head or a turn signal. but if viewed from above are we going to have to develop new techniques to interpret others near our coach and what they might do?

    Another thought about battling the high ambient temps would be the application of one of the white coatings on the roof. Some of these were developed for use on school buses where they don’t have A/C. There have been a number of posts on this site. Keeping the inside cooler will make all A/C units perform better.

    Made it to ETLC and jeff checked things out, and decided that things looked good. Swapped out the fried inverter, brought it all back up and seems everything is working fine now.

    Couple more things I learned from this.

    On the liberty setup, I could have shut down the inverters, started the generator and been able to run my AC’s rather then sleeping in a sweat box.

    Could have also done what others mentioned and unwired the inverter(s) and wired the power/coach sides together and by-passed the inverter(s). Of course doing all that in a downpour wasnt going to happen. But good to know if I ever find myself in a situation where I need to do it (or build a by-pass setup with a switch like Jon/Tom mentioned).

    I know from recent experience that an overfill will spill out of the vent all over the top of the tank. From there it drips down the side of the tank and collects in a puddle on the ground.

    Mine has a black screen which hides the equipment, but allows ventilation.

    I had the same problem when we first got our coach it leaned to the right and it ended up to be a bad tag air bag, When the rubber would start rolling when I dropped the bags for level low it would leak and when it was in ride position it did not leak, It took me a bit to finally find the leak, sense then i have changed all the air bags now it stays put. you can see the cracks in pic. all the bags were Bad.

    How old are your air bags? We changed our 10 year old bags last summer and no more leans.

    If you’re going to the Oyster Fest and haven’t registered, time is running out.

    April 5th will be our cut-off date.

    If you’re not on the list above, you’ll be out of luck..
