Hello Gurus! 

I'm happy to be a new member here. My name is Charlie Peter, and my father and I own Coach #1512, which we use as our home at every racetrack around the country. 

Like all of you, I take pride in turning wrenches on my coach, and I have often come here to find solutions to problems. So, thank you, and I hope I can help some of you in the very near future. 

Sincerely,

Charlie

My great niece and I mean that both ways  works for a solar company and they are blowing out victron inventory so she contacted me with prices and quantity of items, our coach and bus have already been converted to solar so I don't have a need for any of this but thought I would pass it along for you all who may be interested. The $2300 is the price for everything except the 10kw quatro and the four 300am lithium batteries. $2000 for the quatro is a good deal.

It is time to pass on our beloved “Jewel”.
She has been a delight to own and we will miss her, but life changes keep us from traveling with her like we used to so she needs to be set free to roam the country like she was designed!  This is the perfect opportunity to get into a coach made by one of the top manufacturers (if not THE top!) of diesel pushers.

Coach 1482 has two VFX2812 inverters with a Hub communications manager.  Should I have inverter 240 VAC for the stove?  I do not and just started wondering about that.

Where does one find the axle weight ratings for their coach? I assume there is a placard or something somewhere that lists what they are. I weighed the coach and want to know where I sit in regard to the gross weight limits.

The well know floor expert, Ernie Eckberg has an opening right now to install a wood floor. We had to cancel our slot.

Coach 787
Generator will not engaga the switch to power the coach.
It is producing 240 volts at the breakers at the Generator. 
Shore power works fine and engages 
Any help would be much appreciated!!!

Coach 1618-
Did not see a thread- hopefully helps someone else with these issues.  Just finished emergency trip to Miami.  Coach lost all 4 roof airs on shore power- if doing hard reset it would work for 24 hours or so but been mostly running on generator.  Coach was showing slow function with intrepid screens but they seemed to work.  A/c showing on when looking at intrepid screen.  There is a Pecan router in electrical bay they thought may have gone bad which is $2400 in parts- it ended up being okay.  They added a resister in electrical bay, and found network was out of balance.  They had to hook a laptop to coach in electrical bay and rebalance network.  They then found a rsi board went bad and had to be replaced.  This all seems to have fixed the issue.

I was in Miami about month ago for an emergency repair on aux air compressors.  One kept cycling non stop and burned up.  They had to replace the compressor but found another control board burned up that was triggering the compressor to fun all the time.  I asked about this on the second trip.  They thought the network being out of alignment could be associated with that.

They claim both issues are very very rare and rare to have both close together.  All seems to be fine now- hope it helps someone else.

I have Coach # 145 and am going through a few things trying to get it back on the road after sitting for few years before I got it. Basically in pretty good shape. My question for this time is the leveling suspension works fine, but when I flip the switch to road suspension the leveling cuts off like it's supposed to but the road leveling doesn't come on. Where do I look first. No apparent leaks.
Thanks
