Re: 93 Safari Bedroom 12v system

I would say because u have 3 lite circut,s that have quit they will have a 12V supply problem that is commen to all three. there should be what we call a HOUSE Fuse panel usually found around or near the 120V breaker panel.Keep searching as iam sure your dealing with a blown fuse.Lots of times its found in the rear closet but almost never in the area (front) of the chassis fuse systems233Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cat C-7 diesel oil viscosity

Also if you read further you will see that 11,000 miles is not the only shallow pan change criteria. Another is "Or 1100 gallons of fuel burned" . That is too often ignored as in a typical vehicle that will be about 7500 miles with a average 7.5 MPG and 7.5 MPG is a pretty good guess for a average for a C-7. Jim Jim Iam wondering if this is like for cats and loaders and backhoes etc where there is no mileage so they go by #of gallons of fuel? Just asking as Iam not a cat guy. 20qt cummins ISC is good for 10K or better2.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Converter
CA Traveler wrote: BUT? how does any of this address the OP question? It addresses the confusion in this thread - The OPs power had to come from somewhere and since the gen was off and no shore power then the battery and inverter is a logical conclusion for the source of power regardless on what the label says. Of course the switch could be defective... Of course it came from the battery.That,s a given.He said his 12 V power switch was off? I take this to be to shut off the 12V supply to interior lites fridge etc.That does not disconnect the Batterys from the Inverter.If it did he would not have 120V he claims to have given his post indicating he has no SP and No gen set conditions. Now if he actually has a Battery to inverter power shut off and its switched off then for sure this switch has failed.253Views0likes0CommentsRe: 93 Safari Bedroom 12v system

I have checked every fuse I can find, but can't seem to find where it all connects in. Thanks how many switches involved?233Views0likes0CommentsRe: Propane inspection "required" in IL?

NEVER place or transport them horizontally. actually if you were to store it on its side as long as the relief valve is in the position that will be above the liquid it will be fine so assuming its at 80%(full) and relief valve at noon it will be fine The valve assembly is in the center of tank. Regardless of which direction the vent is facing, laying on it's side tank would have to be less than 50% full. yes I was thinking of a different style.I stand corrected thanks303Views0likes0CommentsRe: New water pump won't work

This one is a mystery, voltage doesn't seem to change whether water pump switch is on or off. It wont if the controller which grounds out the pump and allows it to run is bad or has bad connections!! So tomorrow when I get some daylight to work, I will have a closer look at the "Intellitec Latching Controller". Service manual seems to be at: http://www.intellitec.com/index.php/products/Motor_Controls/Water_pump_controllers/Water_Pump_Control I'm looking for a loose ground connection to the pump or other loose wires, right? Loose +or corroaded Ground connections to the pump at the controller or bad controller.256Views0likes0CommentsRe: New water pump won't work

Groover wrote: Most campers I have looked at have the gray and black water tanks about the same size. In my experience camping I have never produced nearly as much black water as gray. If other people are this way then either most campers are designed badly or people have figured out a way of dumping their gray water without going to a dump station that also accepts black. Do you have the same imbalance? What do you do? Most Class A MH diesel Pushers always have 40-45 Black and 65-75 Grey I believe most mid and up Gassers follow the same rule193Views0likes0Comments
