It has only taken me about 3000 hours of my time and motor homing in a large rv since 1982 to come up with this program.

If you want to know where all the rv parks are that will accommodate 40 and 45' motorhomes take a look at my web site.

I built this program for myself, but had many of you tell me they would like a copy so I built the following web site.

Happy motor homing.

I was looking in the HWH hydraulic compartment in front of the wheel on the drivers side and noticed a toggle switch under a fairly large metal box mounted on the wall next to the wheel.  Labels for the switch state "EMERGENCY US ONLY"  and "TRANS OVERIDE ON/OFF".  I am surprised to find that the switch is set to ON.  Considering its location, I doubt that I turned it on by accident.  I hope that someone can tell me what this switch does and do I have a problem with it on.  Attached is a photo.

I just replaced the original Xantrex Heart Freedom 25 inverter with a Magnum PSW to get full sine and to provide some very custom charging profiles for the LiPo batteries. The point is I have the inverter and the Link2000 control panel if any of you need it. 

There were no problems when I removed. 

BTW, both of them were HEAVY and awkward to mount on the wall. Smile

How I mounted the spares

Just drove 10 hrs from south LA to Orlando to look at 383 that a dealer from Nashville has been trying to sell it for almost 2 yrs. Exterior was very nice as promised. Luckily for us, it rained a lot before we arrived and we were able to see all the leaks on the interior that we were not aware of. We had agreed on $61k before I drove there knowing that one basement air that would need a compressor. We passed on this one. It's on his website hannasales. Also was going to need tires and power awning work. Motor was rebuilt at some point also.

I would like to install a motorized awning to replace the 158" ZipDee awning.  Dometic, Carefree of CO, and ZipDee all use 12v power.  Before I give serious consideration, I have to find 12v at the awning location.  Does anyone have an idea of how to do this?

Did someone else post pictures of this coach recently?  I could have sworn it was on this forum that I saw pictures of this coach before it was painted.

Never mind.....I found it under "Introduce Yourself"!
