Morning Mike, You might call Powertech first this morning. My memory, which is suspect, is the solenoid gets full voltage to pull in and allow starting to occur. But once started the voltage drops way down to just enough to hold it in.
If I am correct, the voltage is not dropping off and the higher current from full voltage is over heating the coil.
Hope this helps.

I’m at a loss here as to why all you guys are trying for local channels over your satellite be it Dish or Direct.
The satellites you connect to don’t know where you are and don’t tell them.
You can run 1 account from your household and add receivers to it, put them in the bus and you will be able to watch your household programming wherever you go.
If you want local get your on air antenna working and you will have local channels wherever you are. A Razor is a good choice.
The day you tell them you are mobile and want to change programming for a certain area you will be lost in the fog.
I know there’s alot of people out there who think their the smartest guy in the room. This is a proven alternative and has worked for me and countless others for many years.
You can’t beat free HD programming from your on air antenna.
Later

We are in our 7th yr of owning our Prevost, and insuring it with the Miller Agency, with National General Ins. Co. with a $135k Agreed Value, RV full coverage, $2500 collision and other than collision deductibles. Me and the wife are both listed as drivers. No claims, no tickets, 800+ credit scores. We paid cash for the bus. We have never been asked to have any sort of appraisal or inspection. This yr, Jan 2020 thru Dec 2020, $1525.
Safeco and Progressive are the only other ins companies that will quote us an Agree Value policy. They were 70-75% more expensive.
We have owned 5 MHs before this Prevost. They all had a NADA and or Kelly blue book value, and I bought them below wholesale value, so we went with State Farm actual cash value policies on them.
Good Luck -
Welcome Chuck, hope to see you posting often..

I can’t fix this nightmare Harry, only option is to delete both.

you should also ask around at marina service places. many of them are familiar with cruisairs. the only difference is that they are DX units to the water, vs DX units to the air. So the compressor part is the same for them. . and they are used to working in confined spaces. . there might be a learning curve for them for access and such – but I have had better luck with marine service yards than RV service places – outside of the known specialty places that know our coaches.

I use the BMV712 battery monitor. it comes with a battery shunt that needs to be connected on the negative side. It measures SOC after you input some parameters.. . but it works in tandem with the rest of their bus/network. It does have a relay – that can be programmed a myriad of ways. I currently use mine for alternator cutoff – as in I enable the alternator when SOC falls below 60% and stop at 90%. . . You can also use it for generator start/stop as well, but you need to bypass the watchdog and just control it directly rather than using the liberty voltage meter. that being said – most large inverter companies have automatic generator start capability. the question is – after getting the generator auto start to interface with your generatore – whether you want to rely on the liberty one or the inverter one ? I know magnum, outback, victron, mastervolt all have auto generator start capability, but we seem to be tied to the watchdog that liberty provided.
Here is the 712 settings for relay control – as you can see the options that it has to control something via relay. I havent looked deeply in to the generator watchdog, but my thought process was to bypass it and control it from the inverter control.
Ha – i dont think we disagree on the overall thing. I think we just disagree on some conceptual methods of going about it. lol

Folks USA will get this sorted out. I have been following this Doctor since 1st week January. He was one of the first to point out the malaria drug has a benificialeffect. It is the zinc in the malaria drug that supposedly prohibits the RNA from Wuhan Virus binding with human RNA. You will also find way back in January where he showed the DNA sequencing by Doctors out of China before the CCP shut those doctors down and prevented the CDC from accessing the info.
So three weeks ago I bought the Costco size magnesium zinc supplements. Jus a precaution. My next door (76yrs) neighbor 1/4 mile a way has cancer. We give him our farm eggs because that’s all he can eat with his treatments. His doctors just shut him down from any visitors.
Just keep in mind their are bad actors out their in the world today…..You must have faith in your government and what they tell you to do at this time. And please let when your in the store and one package says made in America and one says made in some distant land….buy American when you can.

Just a reminder folks, let’s keep politics out of this or the post will be deleted.

Thanks for all of your responses. This is good information.

+1 on independent inspection.
My rough rule of thumb is about $2/mile including fuel. Obviously, this figure becomes less accurate if you drive low or high mileage. I’m doing about 10-15K/year.

I will no longer use CW/GSC for the same reasons that are being stated previously. I had always used a Flying/J going from Greenville, SC to Charleston, SC, and upon return. Convenience of the location off of I-26 and it offered good access to the truck fuel lines.

This is how I shut down my coach. Liberty probably has a couple of plastic engraved labels in your electric compartment, and on or near the Watchdog, and anything they say will over ride what I say below.
First I shut off the two “battery charger” switches in the electric panel. Do not confuse them with the one labeled 24V charger because that is for the chassis batteries.
Then I disconnected the Watchdog cable from the based of the Watchdog.
Then I turned off the two house master switches in the electric bay, followed by the two inverter master switches.
To power up the coach I reversed the sequence.
On a previous coach when I made a house battery change the house switches (it was not a Crestron equipped coach) would not function so I rebooted the Allen Bradley system by turning it off with the key in the end unit and when it rebooted everything worked as intended. On this shutdown when I changed batteries the Crestron touch pads did not work, but the next day, after doing nothing they were working. I don’t have a clue why they didn’t work or why they resumed working. It must have been magic.

Day #5
Waiting on shop receipt of core from supplier and completion of the recore.
