Ever see a speedometer flip out while parked?
Just installed my 'new' Xantrex 458 inverter on our low mileage '92 Monaco. Everything seems to work fine. Turned on the generator so I could fire up the AC and charge up the house batteries and came ...

@rgatijnet1 I installed it myself but I'm 100% sure no wires were frayed or cut. They are all all wrapped in plastic cable protector and barely got moved between the removal of the old and placement of the 'new' inverter.
It may however be that the sensor wire is somewhere nearby and the old inverter had cleaner output power than this one. This one does make a bit of a buzz when inverting so that might be it.
But not sure how to find the speedo wire. Might have to remove the dash console and track backwards, but even then, I'm guessing that its neatly bundled with all the other wires on the chassis... would be a pain to reroute it away from the other wires... wonder if its not easier to just put a little switch under the dash that disconnects the speedo when the bus is parked. Could even put it on the ignition relay. Hmm...
@MagillaGorilla I checked the pos wires from the batteries forward. Everything looks good and unchanged. Nothing grounding out. Redid the ground wire and fastened it down hard, but no change.
