[BusNit]

Hi Everyone! We returned from a 3 week cross country trip but not without some issues. The main one besides the rather decent sized oil leak thats hard to find is the generator. It will sometimes start when using the switch in the coach and other times not. During the trip I figured out a way to start it by opening the slide and holding the solenoid in while cranking it. I did replace the solenoid before the trip being all proud that I figured out the solution. (Generator started as normal from inside the coach!) So is there a "Latching" relay that powers the solenoid? I do see one (automotive style) under the generator start/stop switch in the compartment. We had bought a small Predator generator as a backup and even tested it for 30 min outside my garage before the trip. During the trip, it too, failed to start and when it did run, produced no power. We had some hot weather to drive through which was miserable (Before I figured out to manually start the on board generator) along with some cold nights. Along the way, we lost the inverter, fridge, some air leaks, front A/C and what seems to me as a bit too much play in the steering although I was told it is normal...
