Did some of the above phone Coach-Net and ask for the "technical assistance" or "roadside emergency dispatch"? A few of the above posts suggest a wrong routing of their call. Over the years I've called and talked with a qualified service technician who helped me trouble-shoot several issues over the phone. This is a distinctly different service from the "roadway emergency dispatch" feature. If you call with an emergency, you will get an information-gathering operator; expressly trained for fact-finding. On the other hand, a service tech call will get you a Dometic [or other brand] knowledgeable tech. who can get into the guts of the problem & help resolve the issue. I had C-N with my former coach & renewed with current coach, now 8 years strong. Also experienced two emergency breakdown calls with instant response.

BigDog, Done. email sent to you. Thanks for the valuable info.

Thanks Mike. I will do as you mentioned. I sincerely hope it's a one-time occurrence.

2004 Allegro Bay on W22 Workhorse, 8.1 L gasser. While idling in traffic waiting for street construction crew to let traffic proceed...I turned "Off" vehicle for a 15 minute period. Had been driving for 5 hours that day; last leg was approx. 1-1/2 hrs. Upon crank-up display was blank, no idiot lights & no Christmas tree effect. Had to guess at shift position to find "Drive". Drivability was possible, albeit only a paltry 3-5 MPH. Nothing more from the power-plant. Embarrassing; was creeping forward for a pull-off and traffic backing up behind me. Found a spot, stopped, started fine after a wait period. Display back as normal. Check engine symbol lit for 6 miles before disappearing. All's fine now. OBD check revealed no error codes whatsoever. Now I'm stumped. Had replaced Actia 2 yrs ago with newer, orange display [former had suffered pixel drop-out]. Should not be ready for a re-flash of firmware. Any thoughts on what's going on? Did the CPU have a brain fart? I'd hate to experience that again; but no OBD code revealed. Any others out there see a similar black-out of their IP (instrument panel)?
