2008 Fleetwood Options Listing

Hello, looking at what FW sent me in terms of options on our new (to us) rig, and just a couple of questions as I cannot seem to find much in their brochures etc., or on line. Some of these I have figured out but a few others, just looking for some clarity..

1. DSS Man Lift / Digital Magic (I assume this to be the satellite dish (non dome type) up on the roof. Manual point and shoot. I really want to try to figure out if this will work with Shaw Direct...but I will mess about.

2. Dual A/C Heat Pump w/SLR CLR 2 (this is the dual A/C's, but want to understand the heat pump concept (never had) as well as try to determine what the "SLR CLR 2" represents. In looking at the A/C intake, there is a small circle with light that says "solar active".

3. Neutral Loss Protection OPT - this appears to be some basic form of surge protection. Not sure how good it really is.

    Digital Magic is the display that shows you the angle the dish is pointed at. You are supposed to look up the compass heading and angle via zipcode, crank the dish to the correct angle, then rotate the dish back and forth to try to peak the signal.

    I didn't like mine.


    oh yeah, my angle display never worked right.

  • Heat pump option allows you to heat the coach by reversing the flow of freon. Essentially you are refrigerating the outside and heating the inside. This is very efficient down to about 40F.
    Neutral loss protection can reduce the risk of a "hot skin" condition can happen. Hot skin is where external metal portions of the RV have dangerous voltage to ground.
  • my solar cell had a little red light that lit when it was producing juice. very little juice however.
    and heat pumps basically suck. supposed to work until about 40 degrees or so. put out lukewarm air.
