  1. Margie, Tom is entirely correct. I've hosted several inverter seminars at FMCA internation conventions over the years, and all the manufacturer reps agreed that the inverter never has to be turned off except during longtime storage. That is the only time I turn mine off because I store my coach on a storage lot where electric hookups are not available.


  2. I really need more info before I can answer. What model year is your coach? Are you asking about a new unit or a used one? Have you tried the 800 customer service numbers at Winnebago and Cummins? That is where you should begin if you want a new unit.


  3. Hi Newbee,

    Actually, I am a newbee also. Just joined last month and decided to log on today. I also had a question regarding the Banks Power Pack System. Only my question was about the proper gear to tow in. A little about me. My husband installed the Banks on our 1998 Bounder and he loved it. We traveled to the Maritimes and across the Rockies and never had a problem with power. There were times when we were able to pass deisel rigs on inclines. Well, he passed away in 2002 without showing me how to use the gearing. Sometimes when I am towing, I feel like I am in the wrong gear. So I was going to see if anyone knew the correct gear to tow in. I am not a mechanic obviously, but remembering what my husband said about the Banks, I would recommend it to anyone. He was a very smart man when it came to mechanics. I hope you get an answer to your question. And if you do, maybe you could pass some info on to me. Good luck.

    Your automatic transmission should make the correct choices for gears whether you're towing or not. Just don't allow the engine to bog down. In other words, keep the RPM up when going uphill. If your Bounder is on a Ford chassis, your tranny has a towing mode -- use it. :rolleyes:
