Fred,
Pressure Pro credit noted, I’ll use the government plan and raise the price 99 bucks and then discount it 99 bucks saving you big money!:)
I’ve used that weather and it’s great, but I would want the database for truckstops, campgrounds, rest airea’s etc.that you get with GPS software.

I know, it is confusing right? the bottom of the inverter panel has the 50A twist lock…. so what I did was unplug the other end from the outlet on the left (which the box above is labeled shore power disconnect) and placed the adapter on that end of the cable and plugged into power. I assumed that would feed the inverters AC power and they inturn auto switch the ac into the coach and charge the batteries…. according to the heart inverter manual I found, that seems logical….
anyone else wanna chime in feel free… I don’t know we know yet how to proceed… not plugging anything else in until I know for sure… don’t want to blow anything up….

Ken,
Given Marathon said you have heatpumps, you likely do. As much as knowing this information will be helpful, heat pumps aren’t effective as temperatures drop; as you state near 40 degrees. If you are working outside and the temps are 40 or below, use your Webasto or electric heaters. The only down side the the Webasto is that you must be outside and the need to have diesel fuel available.
The Webastco system pushes hot fluid through heat exchangers in the living space. Fans push interior air across these heat exchangers to move the heat. You should have fan controls. These are either independent switches or a function of your Air Conditioners thermostat. If your thermostat supports this it will have a setting for furnace. I believe you have said that the Webastco turns on with the 12V switch, but you can’t feel any air movement at the heat exchangers. The air movement may be slight, so put your hand over the heat exchanger. I’m sure there are other clever ways to make the heat exchanger fans work. I’d ask Marathon. If they don’t know, which is unlikely, find someone that does or at least fully understands what converters were doing at that time.
Rick May at Coach Worx in Clearwater, FL knows these systems well. Give him a call.
Best of luck and stay warm.,

Glad that was it. Simple fix when nothing is wrong,,

Maybe I see it Al, the electric receptical appears to be pointing up (not sure though) if so water and dirt could get into it, not a good thing. I change my mind, that is probably a junction box only and the plug is up and out of sight.
I think Al is more inclined to want polished copper.
Nice job Jon, looks just like it might have come from Liberty.
Wondering, about your old pump, what was the cause of failure and what was the remedy?

In British Columbia it is now manditory to have an Endorsement “Vehicles with Air Brakes” on your Drivers Licence in order to legally drive any vehicle with air brakes. To get the endorsement you must take a 2 day course on “Air Systems”. It covers the integration of all the air systems in a vehicle.
Jon’s description is exactly what is required prior to any road trip. One additional recommendation is to drive the vehicle forward a number of feet and apply hard braking to insure the brakes hold and do not pull to one side or the other.
This course had us crawling under semi trucks to adjust the “manual slack adjusters”. Fun thing to do on a cold wet rainy day!!! Thank goodness for “automatic slack adjusters” on coaches.
One other item to take note of, in British Columbia (and probably many other places) at every “brake check pull out” on our mountain roads there are large signage maps of what to expect on the down hill highway that awaits you. The map shows each curve and the recommended speed for each curve all the way to the bottom of the hill. Sure provides for some planning and reduces the suprises that lay ahead.
