Re: Surge protectors
Progressive Industries is a fine example of manufacturer integrity and customer experience. No, I have no connection with the company other than I bought their 50-amp LCHW50 unit in 2006. Earlier this month (Oct 2015) I lost power at a campsite. After ensuring that there was power going to my coach and finding no reason for failure other than that my electronic display was showing nothing, I called the company. Anthony in tech support spent about half an hour coaching this country bumpkin how to test the unit with a multimeter only to find that the unit had a problem. Then he spent at least an hour more talking my way through bypassing the unit so I could have power with some protection. Then they sent me a new unit with the understanding that I return the old one once the new one was installed. All free except for the return postage. Another tech, Donald, helped me undo the bypass. Good stuff, good policy and good people.472Views0likes0CommentsRe: Breakdown Information
Ours was a fuel line fitting/washer combination into the injector pump on a 8.3 liter 300-hp Cummins, Alison 6 in a 1999 Newmar DutchStar with 58,000 mi. We stopped for fuel and a fellow (who works for Cat) pulled up and said we were spraying fuel out the back. We got towed to Diesel Injection Service in Windsor, WI who said the problem is a documented one with this pump/engine and there is an upgrade fitting/washer combination. Parts were less than $100 but the labor (it was tough to get to) and the steam cleaning was another $600. Incidentally, that fitting/washer is a one-time use. Remove it and replace the same one and it leaks twice as bad!500Views0likes0Comments
