Welcome to the forum. A clearer picture would help. Also need to know what "control panel" you are referring to and the conditions the coach was in at the time. Were you plugged into shore power, generator, battery power, etc.

I know nothing about your inverter, sorry. But the easy explanation of the setup is to separate your house and chassis battery banks totally. Wire it so that your alternator only charges your house battery and then use a DC to DC charger to go from the chassis battery to the house battery. Reason being is that the lithium's can take a lot of current and you stand the chance of burning up the alternator. Make sure you use circuit breakers on everything.

Welcome to the forum. I do know that there a number of Roadtrek owners that belong to FMCA because they come into the international conventions en masse. Hopefully some will answer to help you out.

Fan parts for a 2012 Dutch star with a freight liner XRC chassis
dons2346 replied to vickeryd's topic in Type A motorhomes
A few places I suggest looking. One would be Source Engineering in Oregon https://sourcerv.com/ A surplus place in White Pigeon,MI called Bontrager's https://bontragers.com/. A surplus place in Eugene,OR, Northwest RV Supply https://www.nwrvsupply.com/ When all else fails, there is always Freightliner or the coach manufacturer -
Extended warranty plans from a dealer is a real cash cow for them. I do not recommend. Keep the $5K in the bank as a backup and you will be ahead of the game. As far as roadside assistance, take a look at what is offered by FMCA, CoachNet, Good Sam. I have had Coachnet for 23 years covering 240,000 miles and have used it twice for tows. Welcome to the forum, hope to see more of you here

Who, What, When, Where or Just Lets Talk
dons2346 replied to hermanmullins's topic in General Discussion
I just sent him an email to the address I have for him as a test. If you are in contact with Carl, have him try an different browser to log in here. He hasn't been banned that I know of and there is no reason that I can see that would keep him from logging in. Going to be traveling today but will check in later -
Who, What, When, Where or Just Lets Talk

I emailed Carl a couple of months ago and haven't heard a word. Last I knew he was going on a cruise -
Cincinnati has sent out communications from 8am - 5pm their time. The IT department will change the launch times to 12-8pm to accommodate the west coast.

I'll find out if the time of distribution can be changed to accommodate the late sleepers on the west coast. Did it come via text or E Blast?

Welcome to the forum. What type of RV members come in is not tracked. I just talked to the parking chief for Perry and he estimated the number of towables were between 75-125 out of 1900 RV's registered. Gillette registration opens on the 27th of March

Welcome to the forum, sorry your first post had to be a complaint about a dealership.

Welcome to the forum Mack. Are you now in a colder climate? It is possible that your intake grid heater is cycling on and off to adjust for the colder climate. It is also possible that the timer is failing. Doubt seriously that you have a failing alternator

Purchase. tow vehicle

Welcome to the forum, good luck with your search -
Just a thought here. I used to keep my hot spot on 24/7. I once got into an area where there was marginal signal. I was advised to power down the spot, wait a minute or two and power back up. Doing so restored a good signal. I asked a techie friend and he explained how all this stuff works and why you should power down every once in awhile. All Greek to me but it worked

In my travels, I have found that cell service is like real estate. It's location, location, location

Welcome to FMCA and the forum. Like Ross said, look into finding a chapter in your area and become involved. There is where the fun is plus the area rally's and international conventions are a wealth of information. If you need any help, feel free to reach out here on the forum or on the FMCA website

Ray, please post if you get a reply from the OP., else this post might go away. Hopefully the OP figured out the problem

Welcome to the forum. Different chassis manufacturers have different criteria for maintenance. Yours being a Roadmaster chassis, I suggest finding a Monaco forum and pose the question there. If you haven't had any service in 60K miles, you are way over due. Most are in the 15K range but in my case, the driveline should be lubed every 5K miles.

Cummins is very proud of their labor rates, parts, and diagnostics. I suggest finding a Cat shop and an independent for second and third opinions.

One thing to be concerned with is insurance coverage while the unit is setting on a consignment lot. Some companies will not insure an rv while it is under consignment
