Dick,
Leon told me there was a wago tool – but a small slotted screwdriver would work too. You sort of press it into the square hole and the round hole will let go. It works like you think it does. Just like a press in 110V plug… if you’ve ever installed those before.
I also noticed on other strips in the bus – but don’t see any on the photo above – that there are jumpers that go into the other holes so that you can take a single feeder wire… plug it into the wago, then jumper it to more than wago piece to feed more than 1 wire. Sort of like if you have 4 lights you could have 1 hot off a realy or something and then jumper it on the wago so that you can feed 4 wires that hot. It’s like a very configureable powerstrip. This wago setup has a common rail that holds the wago pieces. It is a way to make everything very clear, easy to see, and more easily traceable when there are problems. The only thing left that makes chasing stuff hard is the “big bundle of zip-tied wires.”
I don’t know if the terminology is how you put it (I’m capable in electronics but I wouldn’t say a pro or anything) but I have noticed sometimes things are wired so that Negative is the switched wire instead of the positive. In AC it’d be the neutral vs hot. I don’t actually know why – but I’d assume it has somthing to do with safety since neutrals and negatives if crossed don’t do anything. But… I don’t really know. Or there is the other common reason people do things which is cost. Maybe its cheaper to make electronics switch negatives/neautrals.
Anyway – there ya go!

One thing I have learned by modifying parts of my coach is that any upgrade for the systems usually takes a lot of thought. The reason is space is at a premium so converters make use of every cubic inch and additions to systems such as the plumbing system may call for some effort. Adding a second small water pump was even a challenge due to space limitations so installing a softener is going to be a real challenge.
When dealing with plumbing, the flow dictates where in the system items have to be connected. Then there has to be space, not only to position the addition, but to position it so it can be serviced. Whether it is a pump, an accumulator tank or a water softener having space to access it for service is important. Then there is the consideration of freeze protection.
I ended up putting a second accumulator tank in my plumbing system to make the back up water pump capable of flushing the Headhunter toilet. But my only option was to put it under a sink in a cabinet in the bathroom because there was no viable place to install it in the heated plumbing bay. All this makes me respect how how hard it is for converters to not only fit everything, but to do so in a manner that deals with all the other side issues.

I’m in on the cocktails and entertainment provided by Tom as he polishes his coach………..

On our coaches the engine needs to be running, the brake has to be released and the transmission has to be in drive.
That’s a lot of places for a faulty current path to happen and I think the starting point has to be asking Prevost to help diagnose it.

Sounds like a common ground is loose.

What is a “road case” (52x21x57)? Pictures possible? I’m really curious.
