Last week I noticed my chassis batteries were not charging when plugged in to shore power. I grabbed the meter and sure enough, the Xantrex Echo-Charge was not charging the chassis batteries.
I had my electronic guy take a look at it as he had repaired it almost seven years ago when we purchased the coach and the unit was not working. This time he said the little microprocessor had gone bad and it was proprietary so there was nothing he could do.
I ordered a new one last week and it showed up yesterday. After fueling up the coach and starting the refrigerator I changed out the Echo-Charge module and everything is good again.
I also took a few minutes and tightened up a few screws in my pocket doors. When we were driving home last weekend I noticed that they were rattling a bit. I tightened the screw, sprayed a little lube in the locking mechanism and they are golden again.
I also ordered all of my filters/fluids yesterday so I can get them changed out some time in the next week or so. Unfortunately it is that time of year when we are ready to put the old girl to bed for a few months. I hate it when our season has to come to an end. Oh well, maybe one day when we are retired we can simply head south for those few months.:)
