Re: Help! LCI auto leveler stuck at "low voltage" error...
Absolutely. It was just north of the coach batteries (which are under the step).... under the coach. I crawled under the coach past the storage area and found it there.... tried to attach a pic but couldn't figure out how to do it......248Views0likes0CommentsHelp! LCI auto leveler stuck at "low voltage" error...
We pulled into campsite that sloped downward towards the back. Had generator on and AC running. it the auto level button. The rear legs went down, lifted the back end, and the a "low voltage" error came on the screen and nothing I have done will get it back. I checked the coach batteries (charged) and the engine battery (charged). Turned off air, left generator on for a while. Ran engine for a while. Tried turning it on at fast idle. no luck. Tried pulling off the control panel and disconnecting.... but when it came back- same error. I looked at the breakers under the bed... none popped. don't know what to do? help!1.5KViews0likes6CommentsRe: newbie with new Thor Four Winds Class C- questions?
What's the best way to determine if the battery is full? I'm not well versed on electrical stuff and know I need to learn it. I looked at the number on the inverter switch, which starts to beep in the mid 11's. When I'm charging with generator the number goes up to 13.7, but then once I turn off gen it goes down to about 12.7 .... but seems to start lowering pretty quickly. I'm wondering if this is from the "surface charge" that you mentioned.535Views0likes0CommentsRe: newbie with new Thor Four Winds Class C- questions?
Thanks for the replies... unfortunately we're 1000 miles away from the dealer for the next 2 1/2 weeks.... We bought the RV with the residential fridge because we really liked all the other features... size/ storage/ size of slide/ levelers and auto gen start included. The salesperson indicated that by charging it up with generator early in the evening, we would have no problem going through the night and then running geerator in morning, and then explained that the auto gen feature would automatically take care of that par to fit and you could set evening hours for it to be off. I should have done a little more researc. Still, We're coming from 15 years of a pop-up trailer, and so I don't know that we'll be boondocking a tremendous amount.533Views0likes0Commentsnewbie with new Thor Four Winds Class C- questions?
Just bought a 2015 Thor Four Winds 31W.... out for our maiden voyage, which just happened to be a 3 week 3,000 mile trek. (not optimal but it was that or stick with the pop-up and we were too excited to wait). I have a couple of questions.... BG- it has a residential fridge (18 cu ft,) and an inverter, and two batteries (I think 12 volt not 6? but not sure). It has an auto gen start feature that I haven't been able to figure out how to turn on. 1) how long should I run generator in evening before shutting it off? I ran it for one hour stopping at 8:00 pm, and the battery status light read full, and turned down the fridge to low, but by 3:00 the inverter read 11. something and was beeping, so I turned it off. Should the fridge draw that much that the batteries won't last through the night while dry camping? 2) the auto levelers are wonderful. But at one campsite it was I guess a little too off- level, and the level got it mostly level, and then said "unable to complete leveling". Should I worry about opening the slide under those conditions? Should I have wooden blocks to place under the leveler jacks to get it close enough to level? 3) under the water pump, both the outside and inside shower seem to have very little water coming out of them. Is that normal and I'm not use to RV showers? Ok... those are my first most burning questions.... if anyone can help or direct me to a thread that helps... I would much appreciate it!3.6KViews0likes10Comments
