We fired up the genny & headed to Albuquerque for concerts weekend.  Had front & rear AC's on while driving. Noticed coach interior seemed to be getting warmer. Looked up and saw no power indicated on the control panel.  Generator was running. Flipped the transfer switch a few times, no luck.  Shut generator off and re-started, still no luck.  Put refrigerator on propane, flipped inverter on so as to have AC power to run laptop with Silverleaf engine monitor program.  Continued to Albuquerque as time was of the essence to make it to concert. Missed about 30 mins but that is much better than the last 2 years when I had to give tickets away altogether. My question is:  any recommendations on where & what to check when I start trouble shooting today or tomorrow?  We are back in our normal space at Rt 66 and shore power working fine.  Just hate the prospect of having to drive home with no house AC.

My compressor check valve is engaging after a short time (minute or less).  The coach is in the shop and our mechanic is troubleshooting but has not found the cause as of yet.  Are there any recurrent issues that would cause the compressor to kick off prematurely that you are aware of?

I ordered a VMSPC today. I'm wondering which PC other Gurus are using with it?. A RCA Cambrio 2 in 1 tablet was suggested. It has a 10.1 inch screen.

Ladies, (I'm not one), and gents as well; can you share your take on the workability of the kitchen galley in mid entry coaches,vintage 2002-2004. It appears that the counter space is lacking and the space between it and the refrigerator appears to be too tight.Can anyone provide dimensions and experiences. This is a concern of my DW.

My on-off switch became erratic, as it would shut off and on without being cycled.  There are currently two rebuilders.  

Frerich's Electronics will rebuild your thermostat, but you have to remove, ship to them & then they ship it back. 

Hendrix RV Service will send you a repaired unit with a USPS priority box to send your unit back in. 

I ordered one from Hendrix through EBAY.  It arrived in two days.  It was plug & play.  Although there were installation instructions, mine recognized all four roof airs and the AquaHot.

My Newell was parked in my shop for about a month after running great on our last trip. It started great and ran fine as I moved it around the driveway. Once I turned onto the road it would not go above 1000 rpm. I turned around and limped home. I replaced both the primary and secondary fuel filters. It will start...sometimes readily but sometimes it cranks a bit . Altogether I have had it running for approximately 1 hour since changing the filters. At first I had to hold the accelerator pedal wide open just to keep it running at 1000 rpm. It would not go on fast idle at all. After a while I could get it to idle at 500 rpm and fast idle at 750 rpm. After running on fast idle for about 10 minutes it just died. It re-started and idled after that. I filled the filters with fuel before installing and I think it has run enough to work the air out of the system. I have visually checked the air intake. It has been suggested that the computer may be limiting it because of a code. The "check engine" and "stop engine" lights come on momentarily at start-up as normal. I think it is a DDEC 3 engine operating system (1993). Can anybody guide me on how to retrieve engine codes? Or offer any ideas as to why it is limited to 900-1000 rpm .
Thx,
Dean
