A 50 amp park breaker will handle 100 amps. Yes, that’s right. A 30 amp breaker can handle a total of 30 amps. A 50 amp breaker can handle 50 amps ON EACH LEG for a total of 100 amps.

I have a east west bed with cabinets in back, carpet on floor. no reasonable way to get access through floor.
I had my overhead done a year ago and the valve cover can be removed if you do not have a Jacob brake installed. All of the air intake piping and other items on top the the engine has to be removed.

I’ll let other folks deplete their batteries to zero and conduct the test.
The reason an alternator will not charge a dead battery is it requires some battery voltage to excite the field. In your case the chassis batteries would do that.
If the situation was reversed, and the house had voltage, and the chassis batteries were dead, there would have been no voltage for the field because house current is blocked at the alternator.
If you had two alternators, one dedicated to the house I would understand why you needed to use a charger, but you have one alternator, and as long as it is putting out power I cannot understand why that power is not charging the house.

Tom, still have one other problem.
When I select 110v Heat( toe kick) the the evaporator fan will come on when the heater comes on.
any idea for a solution for that?

I don’t know if your vintage has the Wabco or Haldex dryer, but regardless I have had both types and the amount of air from anywhere to purge is little more than a quick hiss. Maybe a couple of seconds max. But based on everything you told us your loss of accessory pressure has nothing to do with dryer purging, it has to do with driving. You said that engine running, engine off, parking brake on, parking brake off, ride height selected or manual position selected you have only a one minute loss of pressure when driving. We do not know the whole story yet. Something is missing and until that difference between sitting and driving is identified your pressure loss is a mystery.

Never thought about it. For what purpose? The volume of the tank above the sight glass (at least on our 1998 chassis) and the low coolant detector seems to be quite substantial.

My Distributor informed me that the FX roll out has been delayed until June due to a change in development companies for the app.
The good news, I hope, is the new Repeater is suppose to be ready by that time.
Hmmm? Maybe that watch app IS coming!

Same here. I got mine as soon as I was old enough to get it.

Thanks! I will check it out.

John,
You hit on one of the biggest failures all converters have and that is inadequate water separation of removal from the aux compressor.
Most owners assume the converter has designed a good system and they don’t have any problems but in reality the aux compressor is likely the largest single cause of moisture reaching the accessory system and ultimately causing thousands of dollars worth of damage. If you do not have a means of trapping and releasing moisture from your aux compressor before that pressurized air reaches your accessory tank or accessory system air circuits give serious consideration to installing an in-line water trap that is both reliable and will hold a decent amount of water. I use one of those black Norgren traps such as you might see in the steer compartment and when I am using my aux compressor for about a week I can capture 1/2 to 3/4 of that cup in water in humidity such as in Florida.
There is no secret to installing one. Have about 15 feet of air line between the aux compressor and the trap to allow the water vapor in the hot compressed air to condense, maybe adding a short copper loop if you do not have that much run, and you are good to go. If you want to see it work go where it is humid and run your aux compressor for a few days and you will be amazed at how much moisture you have collected and that was previously being fed into your aux system.
You do need to drain your coach air tanks in sequence starting with the wet tank just to make sure you have no moisture and the protection and check valves are working as intended.

Thanks Dorel. As you also pointed out in the sentence “Any Michigan resident who intends to operate the following commercial vehicles is required to have a commercial driver license” We do not drive commercial vehicles.

Glens, just drive into marble falls and take the driving test. Its a cake walk. Does need to be scheduled as they only have 1 or 2 driving tests a day.
