    Battery’s in a H model are not in with the engine. I can’t tell for sure how you have the charger wired, but on my coach I use a charger with two 12 volt outputs.

    The battery’s are wired as two sets of 12 volts series to get the 24 volts. If you are charging at 24 volts you only need one output.

    Crestrons need power 100% of the time. On my coach I need to have power to both forward and aft outlets otherwise the entire system goes down.

    The electrician has not returned but I think this breaker is wrong maybe a single and not a double pole IDK for sure.

    My panel is showing the green light for shore power is illuminated but there is 0 on the Voltage panel. (it is working fine from a regular extension cord on 30 amp outdoor house outlet so I am ruling out the coach as the issue).

    Hopefully he will be back this week to look at it as he is wiring a guest house for me which is why he has been out there anyway.

    Thanks for the picture Bill.

    John, the electrician should have used colored wires but you need to verify that. The colors don’t correct errors, but they make tracing easy for you.

    Green is ground and it needs to be connected to the ground in the box and the rounded pin.

    The two “hots” are going to be red and black and each should be connected to a lug on the breaker Bill showed and end up at the flat blade outer part of the receptacle. The remaining wire should be white, or the common and it should be connected to the remaining center flat blade.

    This is something you can verify by opening the panel, and looking at the connections on each end. If the electrician did not use colored wires you are going to have to somehow verify they go where they are supposed to.

    I have a bad feeling about the electrician’s skills.

    April 23, 2021 at 10:11 am in reply to: Biodiesel additives ?

    I use Hot Shot’s Every Day Diesel product. Here is what they claim:

    • BOOSTS cetane up to 7 points
    • INCREASES power, performance, and fuel economy
    • STABILIZE fuel & disperse moisture
    • INCREASES lubricity & prevent rust and corrosion

    Not sure it does anything to combat the effects of “biodiesel” or not but is cheap insurance from my POV and have never had any fuel related issues.

    We try not to buy fuel in California with its mandated high percentage “biodiesel” and high fuel (and other) taxes. We also try to find the lowest “biodiesel” content we can no matter where we are. Fortunately, given our long travel range we can get from So. Oregon to Arizona on one tank so our southerly sojourn each winter to our lot at The Palms RV Resort in Yuma, AZ, does not require California fuel. Coming back, if we stop to see our kids in Santa Cruz, then I will add ten to twenty gallons just to make sure we have plenty to get over Siskiyou Pass on the I-5 between CA and OR. Would not want to run out there!

    Some coaches have a toggle switch to lower the toll window.

    If so equipped, it can be found in the compartment below the toll window, behind the removable plastic protective wire shield located at the very top of the compartment.

    My Bendix TPMS looks exactly like the round Ametek gauge, the other could be rear camera.
