Thanks Bernie

Get one of these and work slow and be patient

Thank you so much for offering the suggestion.

I didn’t use the presloped base just the kerdi flat board for the base, walls and ceiling. I figured the board would help against vibration and hold the base better. I cut the board and put that large linear drain in then silicone all the edges and everywhere just for added support.
Installing ditra membrane on top of everything and have their joint membrane strips too. Just unsure about at the actual linear drain as there isn’t really room so hopefully some silicone will be enough. The plan is to have the drain hidden and just no caulk on the drain lid so its removable.
The back wood is for plumbing for a w/d in back and any future wiring. Haven’t found the perfect tiles yet. Once the existing walls are tiled I’ll add the side wall and tile that one, then the plumbing, then a pocket door, then move the fridge, then build custom floor to ceiling pantry in the existing space.

Does it allow wifi wan?
I use pepwave with starlink and t-mobile home on the WAN ports then cg or my home wifi, all bonded together. I then have Verizon sim set as a lower priority.

This happened with my wakespeed ws500. I put the original regulator in and was 12v. Bought a 24v external regulator and it’s putting out 24v fine.
Problem is I’m now not trusting the alternator at all so not sure what to do.

I would think if it was that high the surge protector should of detected high voltage and shut it down??

See Below:
1) I think the bus is leaning to the left while driving. Perhaps I need to adjust the leveling valve. I do have two more new leveling valves, so I plan to do this on both sides.
This might be a problem, your manual should have the height and where to check it.
2) I don’t know if this is standard behavior, and I don’t ever remember having this happen on my 2001 H3, but excessive use of lifting the tag in a short period of time really depletes the aux air system. It can easily drop below 100 psi, and at one point the suspension was too low to drive. I am at the point where I am a bit paranoid to use the tag. Is this normal? I’m talking about using the tag perhaps 3 times in 2 minutes. In these situations, should I just leave the tag lifted until I know I am done with tight turns?
I think you might be over using the tag lift? I have used my tag lift maybe once in the past 3 years, and don’t even know why i used it that one time. Maybe on a 45 footer it might be more important, not on a 40 footer. Why do you feel the need to use the tag lift so often the compressor can’t keep up? One thing you can check is run the air up to 120 psi, leave the level low in drive mode, turn off the key and go back to see if you have any air leaks. maybe you have a leak in your tag circuit.

Yes, he is the one, i spoke to him today, he is all bus business 24-7 365.

My experience with both types is far more limited that others here, but I had cruisairs + rvac in a H345 and I currently have penguin rooftops in a XL. They are not even close for hot days. I hope I never have to back to cruisair & rvac.
The big complaint I have on roof airs is the noise. This seems to be specific to the single motor fan units (motor runs condensor and evap fan). I hope to install a new roof top unit soon, a TOSOT unit which is supposed to be inverter driven (for variable speed compressor) and is supposed to be a lot more quiet. If it is very quiet, I am ordering 2-3 more to get rid of all the dometics.
BTW, one of those dometics went out this summer, while staying here in TX where is was 105 nearly every day. It was not pleasant being down one unit, but we could keep mid 80’s in the salon/kitchen and low 70’s in the bedroom. On my other coach, the H3 with 2 functioning cruisairs and the rvac, I would kill for mid 80’s temp during a 105F day.

I did replace the 3-way and 5-way in the steering bay, but don’t think it made much of a difference. I still need to replace the level low manifold (I have the part). A couple other things:
1) I think the bus is leaning to the left while driving. Perhaps I need to adjust the leveling valve. I do have two more new leveling valves, so I plan to do this on both sides.
2) I don’t know if this is standard behavior, and I don’t ever remember having this happen on my 2001 H3, but excessive use of lifting the tag in a short period of time really depletes the aux air system. It can easily drop below 100 psi, and at one point the suspension was too low to drive. I am at the point where I am a bit paranoid to use the tag. Is this normal? I’m talking about using the tag perhaps 3 times in 2 minutes. In these situations, should I just leave the tag lifted until I know I am done with tight turns?
Unfortunately I have not been able to spend any time on the bus or on this forum lately. We bought a 170 year old house in Seguin, TX, and moved from Austin. I’ve been a bit busy with the house, and it’s also been DAMN HOT this summer. I am hoping the house things settle down soon, and I can spend some time on the bus this Fall. We have a trip to Huntington Beach, CA planned for Christmas, so I really want to be ready. I am contemplating taking the bus to Prevost Houston should I not be able to or not have time to resolve these pnumatic issues.
Oh, and one of the roof top A/Cs went out! Hopefully in about 6 weeks I can give yall a review of a inverter-based roof top heat pump
One thing I am looking foward to: Once we are certain we are staying in Seguin (my wife told me she needs six months), I am having a bus barn built!

Thanks’ Mike I will check it out

Take a picture of it, let’s see. Hey by the way we have a common friend, His Name is Terry. I met him in Quartzsite a couple years back, great Guy, very knowledgable, knows the Detroits like the back of his hand.

The linkage is what I suspect. The lock seems to be stuck in the locked position. The plungers move, but appear to not be connected to the locking linkage. The outside door handle lifts up with no friction as if it is connecting to anything. Than ks for the input…
