  1. Ray/Richard,

    Nothing has been said about a shutdown. I will check and let everyone know.

    What I have heard is that there will be a short time where they will been running both systems together. I have always heard that that is the best way to start up a new program, just in case something happens and they loose data, they have the old as a backup.

    I'll let you know if there are any changes.

  3. If the picture is showing how the batteries were wired then they are correct. The house works on 12 volts. And to get 12 volts out of two 6 volt batteries the two 6 volts must be wired in series.  If you parallel then all you have is 6 volts.

    Sorry you don't have a secondary generator. You have an Alternator on the engine and coach generator. Do you know how many amps you auxiliary generator out out.

  5. As Ray said, Welcome to the Forum. Some good advice from Ray and I would like to add one thing. If your alternator is found to be bad, consider installing a higher amperage alternator, It may cost a bit more but you will faster charging.

    Do you leave the coach plugged into shore power when in storage? If not I would do as Ray said, when putting the coach up for a while make sure the batteries are fully charged and disconnect the ground cable on both the chassis and house batteries.

    Again, Welcome

    Herman


  6. Eric,

    Welcome to the Forum.

    We have the Verizon MiFi from FMCA it claims to have unlimited service but at 25 gigs it will throttle back and is slow down severally. However i have had mine for over three years and that has only happened twice. So for me it has served us well all over. I understand, but can't confirm, the Sprint Connect is very good on the East Coast.  

    Again, Welcome.

  7. Dog, I will have to admit I had no idea what a United Specialties Coach was so I looked it up. :huh:

    It is a nice looking Super C. So again, Welcome to the Forum with your nice looking Super C. :)

    Now back to your question, If you have power that you can plug into when in storage it would be a good idea to keep it plugged in with the inverter on. That way your Batteries will be maintained and charged. It would also be a good thing to check the batteries every 5 to 6 weeks for water levels and cleanliness.

  8. Welcome to the Forum.

    If your have the coach plugged in then Yes you may leave the inverter/charger turned on. A lot depends on where you live. If you live in a very cold climate and totally winterize it then I would be sure the batteries are full of water and fully charged and then disconnect the ground cable then let it sleep for the winter. 

    I keep our plugged because I keep items in the refrigerator. Our coach is stored in my insulated garage/barn only 50 feet from our back door. 

    It is helpful if you lets us know what kind of RV you have then we will have a better idea of what we are dealing with and someone with the same RV may have had your same issue.

    Again Welcome,

    Herman
