AMAZON PRIME MEMBERS!!
Are you "thinking" that using their "Family/Household" option is letting your spouse share your PRIME membership? Well, we were...until I found out we WEREN'T!
YOU BETTER CHECK to make sure they're not DOUBLE-BILLING you!! I just discovered they had suckered my wife into a Prime membership and charged us $16/month for the past 2.5 years, on top of my annual subscription of $150!!
Before you wonder how this could happen, just realize that monthly charge can be disguised and buried in all the other similar named line items on the Amazon Visa. I feel suckerpunched, and found it only because my wife asked me to see if we got a refund for something she returned using our "Prime Visa"...which is the same card that Amazon uses to charge our PRIME membership...or should I say membershipS! 
Figuring we couldn't be the only ones, I set out to research and to no surprise, IT'S A BIG PROBLEM!! I found many forums, reddit threads, and more. Amazon will "as a courtesy", give you 6 months credit. Big whoop.
In 2023, the FTC has filed and taken action against AMAZON for their practices of NON-CONSENSUAL SUBSCRIPTIONS AND CANCELATION TRICKERY!! I'm not saying they fixed the problem, just that this reinforces that the problem exists and has happened enough to gain a federal level of complaint.
I just hope that my oversight and situation helps someone else from having the same happen.
FTC Takes Action Against Amazon for Enrolling Consumers in Amazon Prime Without Consent and Sabotaging Their Attempts to Cancel
Can someone point me in the direction to solve this problem?
Thanks,

Getting my new to me 87 classic #145 back roadworthy. My question today is the transmission dipstick has 2 sets of low/high marks. I assume one is hot and one is cold, but which one is what.
Thanks
#3 Roof Air: No Cool, Fan Runs
Checked capacitors & PTCR, inspected compressor electrical connections & ohm checked compressor. White Run wire on compressor had been overheated, cut it & replaced the end. Inside, removed ceiling cover & filter. Found +12VDC yellow compressor start wire disconnected and hanging loose. Connected it to the Y terminal of the 8330-426 control. No compressor start. Checked Y wire with A/C on and snowflake showing on Silverleaf display which indicates compressor ON & found zero volts.
Called Newell for location of Silverleaf TM-200 which is located above co-pilot side window. The decorative panel is held on with two screws underneath & has straps attached to the wall for it to hang from. Newell had me swap #3 cable on the TM-200 to #2 & using the #2 A/C controls it started #3 which verified the TM-200 as the failure.
There are Two TM-200’s, one for AC1, AC2 & AC3 and the other for AC4. The TM- 200 used for AC4 has unused plugs for two other two positions.
Called Silverleaf, was advised to take a photo of the DIP switches on each of the two TM-200’s and swap the TM-200’s along with changing the DIP switch positions on each. I did that which cured the problem, all 4 A/C units now work.
You may find a DIP switch covered with a yellowish covering. That is just plastic which can be peeled off, I used a fingernail.
Found this switch in the kitchen cabinet? Any clue as what it does... ? see pic.
Outback VFX2812 Fan quit, discovered when inverter overheated and shut down microwave, refrigerator etc.. It worked once it cooled down so I put a 120VAC fan in the compartment blowing on the inverter while waiting for parts. Ordered new "Outback FX/GS Fan Kit" from Inverter Service Center, White House, TN. which arrived in two days. Installation was relatively simple, all power off, remove the inverter and work on the pickup truck tailgate. Once the case was opened I discovered that the ribbon cable was crushed by the case by the last person that closed it up. Ribbon cable ohms checked OK so I straightened it & reused it. Replacing the fan was easy with the instructions from Outback.
The instructions say to use three 9 volt batteries in series to test the inverter before reinstallation. The inverter failed to put out 120 VAC so I took it apart again, inspected and put it back together with the same results. I finally gave up testing it and reinstalled it in the coach where it checked OK. That cost me another hour or two of what should have been a one or two hour job. The second inverter fan is slightly noisy so I have a spare for it.
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.
