We just looked at all the pictures – it really looks nice! We know you will have fun with it. Can’t wait until we meet again and have a wonderful New Year with your coach 😉 Did you name it yet???

Donald and June

[Mike]

Wonderful! I’m glad this had come to a successful conclusion. Did Bill say how they were finally convinced?

[Mike]

Jeff or you will just have to watch the gauges and it is likely with the fan ruled out as a potential issue that the expansion valve may be the bad boy. Is the right one in place if it is a new one?

[Mike]

One other thing. TIM. Is battery’s. That are in top shape for chassis and gen and the house , you can get them from Tom

[Mike]

OK gotcha ya, missed that.

If it’s cold I just turn on the webasto and engine pre heat and heat the house with the other heat exchangers , I like it that way because the bed room is nice and toasty because motor is hot also , I have never turned on the block heater unless the webasto quit , which it has not. Have run the bus in -35 below and no issues, fuel gel is the only thing I worried about when it was cold, but when it was that cold I left bus running all night on high idle and the gen running and the webasto just to be safe . I got caught in a storm in November in Canada

THIS IS FOR A LIBERTY about 1996 to 2006 STEVE. With the webasto on the circulation pump comes on it sends coolant around to the different heat exchangers , if coolant temp is cool the burner will will come on , the circulation pump runs all the time as long as the webasto is on inside , but not the burner it comes on when the coolant cools off, To heat the motor open the engine pre heat valve in the back drivers side behind the tag, if you are using the webasto to heat the water bay or hot water , the engine pre heat valve needs to be open and the two valves for water heater also ,if you are parked and no gen or shore power or you have shore or gen and the breaker is off for the electric bay heater or if you are driving down the road the motor will heat the coolant with the two valves open and the engine pre heat shut off . The water bay has two heaters electric and webasto , they share the same thermostat if the breaker is off inside , the webasto will work as long as valves are open and it’s turned on , the engine pre heat only needs to be open if you want to heat the hot water or the heat exchanger or the motor when parked . There is also two valves or three in water bay on curb side that need to be adjusted, above black tank , it all depends on the year of coach , that need to be adjusted to heat the hot water with the webasto. Do not turn those valves unless you know which one to turn so many turns or close , they should be set to heat the hot water when driving down the road as long as the two valves at the back are open one in webasto bay and one on the motor , you will not need to heat the water when parked if your hot water tank breaker is on inside. Just for info some coaches the valves are on the drivers side engine bay that’s where the webasto is.

I never use use the block heater , the breaker is inside to turn it on , the plug is at the side engine door to plug it in , if it was very cold day I might

I use the webasto to heat the motor it never gets enough work any ways

600 & 700 are the better loops for big rigs Darrell

A couple of years ago something was eating my belts like crazy. Turned out to be the idler bearings even though they seemed to spin just fine when cold. I ended up upgrading to the automatic tensioner with new idlers.

I still have the bearing on my desk. Still turns pretty smooth but you can hear the balls rattling inside when you shake it. No grease left in that bearing.

[Mike]

I agree with Jon. When they ask the age of your coach, ask them why they want to know. When they say they have an age rule of none older than 10+ years, ask them the age of their business. When they say10+ years, tell them that you also have a rule and will not pay and stay at a park that is more than10+years old because the infrastructure at their park is too old to accomodate your NEW 45 foot coach and hang up.

Hi Tom,

Karen and I went to Perry in 2014. If you want all the details and pictures call me.

Tim is correct about the tells, but for the most part only we know. Geo.

[Mike]

As best as I have been able to tell, it is not necessarily the case with them. They trip on a totally different principle, that being a difference in the current draw between the “hot” black lead and the white neutral lead. They assume that the difference is traveling to ground through someone or something and trip to protect consumers and equipment. The failure in these is normally an electronic failure of the sensing ciruitry that causes them to trip and be reset.

In the “household” circuit breaker, the mechanism that makes them trip on overcurrent is purely mechanical based on heating up on overcurrent above their rating. The bimetal parts that heat up and break the circuit simply wear out and fail.

[Mike]

Thanks Jon

We are looking and it will definately help us. We will be there.

Looking forward to March

[Mike]

Agree 100% bv
