Re: New Dometic Recall Initiated March 11, 2008
Why don't they address the root problem instead of just covering their butts with the fire hazzard containment sheetmetal afterthought fix. I just replaced my cooling unit,...guess what...the replacement is an exact copy of what i had.647Views0likes0CommentsRe: 3000W Chinese Gensets Info.

But it does rattle. Just a heads up. Whats the "ATV MOD"?446Views0likes0Comments- 422Views0likes0Comments
Re: 3000W Chinese Gensets Info.
Hmmm I modded a Champion 3500(as per instructions posted here. Got 119v. at the meter after the mod...BUT in individual test of the windings showed that one was putting out most of the load 86v. to ground the other 33-34v. This unit also has one 20 amp breaker & one 15amp(could these windings be matched to the amp rating for the CBs..one with more cap. than the other?). Plugged it to my 5er & run only the inverter + the 15k AC ...after about 20 minutes the 15amp breaker tripped. I didn't have a amp probe but to me it seems that the 2nd winding may not be pulling it's weight thus overloading the other winding. Now when tested pior to modding, both windings showed 115+v. each. Whats going on here? I'm going to test some more with a amp probe & may even swap CBs & see if the same 15amp breaker trips on the other winding. This is not my gen. The person who owns it had made a adapter for the 220v. plug & tapped only one side for the 110v. draw. I'll check which side it was(15vs. 20amp) I may undo the mod & check it with just the 20amp side & see how this holds up to the camper with the 15k air & inverter on. I'll post my findings.415Views0likes0CommentsRe: 3000W Chinese Gensets Info.
Hey folks check out this link. http://utterpower.com/genhead.htm This will anwser & guide you in identifing & modifying your generator head to take full advantage of you single phase center tapped genset. This is so you can get 30amps out of you generator387Views0likes0Comments
