As a general rule the condenser coils on Cruiseairs should be kept clean. It may require getting access from beneath the coach, but anything that plugs or coats the coils will make it difficult to cool the refrigerant. The second thing is keep the coach out of tal grass, and especially do not lower it down when the temps are high because that has an impact on air flow.

He’s out after getting help from Jeff and taking the interior panel off… His problem was trying to get the interior handle off to remove the panel, the handle is held on by a C clamp that is hard to access.
Granvil says thanks….

It might just be the cover over the camera… ours was terrible very foggy looking and I called Total vision and they sent me a new cover both top and bottom part and the picture is unreal now the color is awesome… as good as any new camera.

Maybe Tom and I are being too critical, but I don’t think so. Since we have run the route from Knoxville to western NY many times over the years with three different coaches, including our 40 footer we have learned it is futile loolimg for a campground that can accomodate us comfortably.
It is either the lack of reliable shore power, or excessively tight turns, or spaces too small, or the fact everyone else has a white 26 foot trailer and we are on display from the moment we arrive until dark.
When we break up a trip for an overnight rest I don’t want to unhook the toad. I want a quick in and out and all I want to do is plug into power. I don’t want to dodge trees, socialize, or be concerned about wiggling around low branches or big rocks in the dark when I leave in the morning. So I’ve stopped planning on an overnight in an RV park, and as mentioned previously I now stop along that route at the outlet mall that will not have a truck next to me, has overnight security, and wide open spaces. Plus we can get something to eat in the food court, and I can get jeans for around $10.
My best friend and source of overnight stopping places is Google earth. I plan the route and in the general area I want to stop I zoom in and see what is available. A good RV park shows up clearly. One with trees blocking the view of the sites doesn’t even get consideration. If no RV park is available with easy access then I start looking at rest areas, malls, or any place where I won’t be in the way. I then email ahead, such as I did with the outlet mall and almost always have permission to park. When we are in unfamiliar territory our guide is the Big Rigs book and so far that has worked very well, especially if we plan ahead early in the day we can almost always get a pull through that is easily accessed.

You have been blessed. Now with your H3 you are in a new world and especially the type of RV parks listed are going to be an issue. You are about to learn all about power management as well as how to replace domes, antennas and busted AC covers.

Poor power has become a fact of life and I am amazed Per has gone 26 years with no issues.
Sometimes it is related to the power outlet and tightening the screws holding the wires to the circuit breaker cure the issue. But when an entire row or section is showing voltages down around 105 volts there is nothing that can be done except running the generator.

Shelby and Barbara,
I had a 1991 40 XL Marathon and loved it. Great coaches, and in my my opinon there is no greater sound than the 8V-92′. 2 strokes. Enjoy the ride and congrats.

I have seen some campgrounds that the Y box..2-30amp ends to a 50 amp receptical will not work due to newer style breaker systems that are arc fault…

Your description doesn’t reveal much, but it sounds like power was lost to the DC side of the electrical system, and maybe the AC side as well.
This is strictly a wild guess as to what might help reboot everything is to try to turn off the PLCs in the electrical bay using the key, and then turn it back on. I would disconnect the Watch Dog first. I say this assuming you have battery power.
That’s not where I would start, but it probably the simplest thing you can do that impacts the entire coach house operating system. If that does not work you are going to have to start with a voltage tester to identify if and where you have power.
If your house batteries were completely dead starting the bus to get some charging current into the house batteries via the chassis alternator is a good first step.
