    Can we assume this is when the generator controls are set for auto-start or shore power interruption?

    What does it show as normal operation in the owner’s manual?

    Is your auto start or power interrupt through the inverters and if so what does that say about normal operation?

    Check those valves Liam, it’s not unusual to find them closed. I close them in the summer to make sure I don’t have coolant running through the loop and effecting my dash air. If that blend valve goes bad, sometimes it won’t close off the loop and your dash air won’t be as cold as it should.

    Looks like I learned something, too. I didn’t know I had a backflow preventer in the fuel line and I’m assuming we have similar gensets. Looks like a plumbing fixture. I wonder if it was added by a previous owner to try to alleviate an issue.

    December 21, 2014 at 8:15 pm in reply to: Updating the Audio Video!

    I just had Liberty update all of my AV. Now we have, controlled through the Crestron on iPads, new LED TVs with in motion standard definition satellite, stationary HD satellite, Roku, Apple TV, two bluray players and Sirius XM throughout and outside. We also added cameras so that we can see around the bus without getting out of bed. The new inverters are also controlled through the Crestron so that when we are at a park with lower quality electric we can lower the settings to avoid popping the breaker.

    All of this is made possible by an internal wifi network that uses a Verizon card with roof antennae for remote access and updates, as well as streaming data for all of these devices plus those we carry with us. The great thing about this is that with the $80/ month we pay Liberty through their corporate account we have no overages to worry about. I know this isn’t cheap, but it is a very workable solution that fits the needs of a young family with large data requirements.

    I WAS under the impression that you could tell the difference between Prevost slides and after market by looking at them from the outside, on this coach at Waynes it looks like Prevost slides from the outside but has flat floor on the inside from what I see in the pictures.

    I like your train of thought Mark on Prevost Slides in & out only.

    I don’t have a 2015 Prevost like Mark but the reason I bought my old 1991 Prevost because it looked like a new one and was Cool and Tough!

    Ed & I are signed up also for the Oysterfest. Will be like “ole times”!!

    We will be bringing our instruments (Upright bass & mandelin) & if anyone else plays an instrument, it would be nice to get together and play. (Even if you just pretend to play like us). Those oysters have all sort of minerals that help you enjoy things. HA!

    Look forward to meet everyone.

    Cgallant,

    You have had better luck than me. I tried to sign up to the fuel program but it wouldn’t let me continue, said my CC exp. date was bad. It may be a glitch in the system. I emailed Alicia 3 or 4 days ago. No response as of yet.

    .10 a gallon won’t kill me, although the savings is always icing on the cake.

    December 12, 2014 at 9:41 am in reply to: Chitty Batteries

    Bernie, if the batteries get bad enough they won’t hold a charge sufficient to start no matter how much you charge them off the generator or house. Mine had been getting weak and I sometimes had to boost them with the generator to start after sitting a few days even in warm temps. Spending the night in temps in the mid teens finally did them in and I could not get them up above 23 volts after two hours of charging. They might have eventually got there, but since they were plainly bad they had to go. We were heading for some remote places so it was best to replace them while still in civilization.

    I had a leak from the pan gasket that looked like it was coming out of the bell housing/block area. Very simple and cheap to fix when you do an oil change. I also had the cam gear housing leaking when I had the injectors worked on this past October. They did that when they had everything else apart.

    None of these really dripped on the floor…but the breather does. Not much, just enough to notice.

    TG,

    I’ve nursed these Amana’s for years and find the best maintenance is to change out the defrost timer, defrost heater element and thermostat. Keeping it clean is also very important.

    The new Kenmore fridge is quiet and uses less amps than the Amana and also weighs less, but seems bigger inside with almost the identical cf. The fridge was on sale for 1199.99 and fit like a glove. This model was one of the few that didn’t have the raised hinges requiring more height and comes with a charcoal filter cartridge that you change out every 6 months and no need for the baking powder.

    Woke up this morning with 37 and -5, yippee….

    Model Kenmore 51789, come in white, black or simulated stainless. 51789
