Yea George, you did. Once I looked closely at the board, I could see the problems. Do you or Diane have the name of the company you used to make a replacement board?

we went with the 22 inch samsung. Width wise it was a perfect fit. I cut some 1by 1 shims to add support . Fits nice and snug. To compensate for the sound, we bought bose dest top computer speakers. They tie into the samsung via the headphone jack on the back. Sound is top notch. I mounted the speakers on their sides below the tv. The speakers line up with the notches in the lexan cover. The shims lift the tv about 2 inches above the speakers.
I’m running a portable dish as my tracstar lnb does not support the hd signals. All in all I am very pleased. We got the HDTV working with both TVs. The rear tv looks and performs great. The only down side is that I have nice sat on my roof that I’m not using.
That begs the question: has anyone converted a trac stars lnb to a hd capable lnb? I have a spare direct tv lnb. If there was a way to mount it on the sat arm I’d be in business. It hooks to a rg6 cable than runs to a swm power box.

Rob, I’ll give him a call.

I have been digging in Red’s back yard. Need to move to the living room as soon as I get the jackhammer from the rental store in the morning. Since I live just down the street the neighbors don’t ask what I am doing.

Great job, looks great.

That’s what I was looking for Jon, a tool to speed up the process. Thanks!

Rob,
So far, working on it myself.
Tonight, I found a burnt wire on the circuit board.
Does anyone know where I can find one, or get this one repaired?
It goes to a RVAC.

I’m not sure, Jon. That door has always been a bit difficult to close, but I go in there so infrequently that I didn’t notice. We had a problem this trip where the door in front of it didn’t quite close when Ian put away the water hose and I ended up removing everything from that bay from the other side, crawling in on my belly and removing the catch on the frame to release the door. Then I discovered that the catch had been bent into a bit of a ‘C’. When I bent it back it now works as intended.
Thanks, Jeff. If I order those parts, will I be able to put them on with basic tools or is it a chore?

Jeff, That sure does look good! Did the marble polish out OK? gary

Vanner says input/2 + or minus 6% will trigger the BALANCE warning. The engine should be running so there is a charge source to be accurate.

Tom is right here and has a good way of looking at it. In my purchase decision I knew I wanted to zero out the coach so I looked at coaches that fit our “style” AND left me enough meat on the bone to zero it out. We spent 3 months just researching converters (past and present one’s) pro’s and con’s ect….then we started seeing what they are listed for and in a few lucky cases I found out what they sold for…..
I also dealt with a dealer that I and others felt had a great reputation and integrity (Legacy Coach).
For now though, I cant imagine that regular “maintenance” will exceed 5K per year based on our use but like everything else, I have that RAINY DAY BUS FUND started so if and when something breaks I’m prepared. Being a prevost novice is another reason I wanted to start with a Royale known for it’s ease of use. That’s why I was happy to see Emerald making coaches and supposedly using the same keep it simple philosophy.

I’ll have to look at my tool box to see the brand. BTW, waaaay cheaper than Snap On, and I cannot see any difference in quality because I have the orignal snap on in my garage.

Gman. Those relays shown in photo with red and blue wires from our experience with Marathon Coach 740, 12 years ago, are called “Clixon” breakers. When ours went south, we had no house charging and the red idiot light came on. They fluttered before things went south. Replaced them, house batteries got juice from the 50 DN. Red idiot light went dark. My two cents.
