I have a stowmaster5000 by roadmaster on my Jeep wrangler, also have an aftermarket bumper that I installed a receiver hitch, then adapted the stowmaster. This makes a very easy way to put the stowmaster off and on the Jeep, been using this setup for two years flawlessly.

All led's require about 4 volts DC current therefore you must stack three to become a 12 volt fixture, they will not work on AC current because they are a diode. Any 120 volt LED has an AC to DC converter allow it to work. Just saying so that others may understand what makes them tick. The LED itself can stand some moisture but it is best that they are in a sealed environment, very easy to do since there is such a small amount of heat generated in their structure. One can purchase rolls in 5 meters and make almost any light fixture that is conceivable to ones imagination, just remember that the more LED's within the fixture the brighter the fixture will be. Be sure to remember that the rolls are 12 volt DC so the LED's must be cut in increments of three, the rolls are marked also to let you know where the beginning and ending of each series of three.

You can PM Tireman9, he is the tire expert on this forum, and holds classes at nearly all the get togethers by FMCA. Most all tire manufacturers offer a ST line as well as an LT line. ST means Service Truck and LT means Light truck. I highly recommend that you seek the ST line for your needs. Sorry to repeat what Joe just posted, I was typing at the same time.

How would anyone know if it works, if they didn't TEST it.

That didn't work either, I had to hand key into another browser, then open in that browser, then copy and paste the address from that browser into my post.

see if this works better! http://www.rvleveling.com/

The thermocouple is probably bad or misaligned, with all the trouble shooting you have done. As Ian said, I would sure try the warranty route. Although a new thermocouple should be less than $30.00.

When was the last time that you changed LP cylinders? I had a similar happening two years ago, the propane station overfilled the tank, not enough room left in tank to vaporize, also a bad regulator will behave the same way. I know this doesn't explain the igniter failing, that is probably another issue. Have you checked other gas appliances to make sure they are working correctly?

At least she could remember what she did, unlike many RV techs, LOL.

Or bad thermistor. Or stopped up flue, make sure there is no wasp or mud dauber nest in the flue.

How about a product like this? https://www.ebay.com/itm/12V-Car-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Splitter-Dual-USB-Charger-Power-Adapter-Outlet/193450570377?epid=22033621738&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item2d0a8d7289:g:VccAAOSw5Oper9Jl&enc=AQAFAAACcBaobrjLl8XobRIiIML1V4Imu%2Fn%2BzU5L90Z278x5ickkfKe2vUidqHRg3XM2X2xOVF5dgN0aTI5Ysifp5bI1CtkcZQO5%2BU6Qd1dUyMgn2d4AXASw%2FTAjB73dTMUVzRJx5zjDCcGa7QiWzya48Oa7cSCvODz647NoEJgRE4z3Ne0b6uZse8qOUU28RwwoX4Q8l9%2FZqGabQM%2BQLXdYdzABSfZogDubHM81LmeYsxOa02YRDr5e4VDUMJ6M8StnPeJAmwPnQzoKbiOk1gAE%2F%2B%2FjISnepHVARqIcVjRImOnoQDFxLjacTYqDX%2BR91qGdYla3FGisg7Z1%2FfYbLIiDuG4jUklqvrssyY6teexDfDWUVjNLkSZxEqo0tIqYBUYRy4F%2BMpggVg3PNSyvXK1p9rIrfmDEZP70HTa%2BpeRre2u4MADakCTCMoo6GiWsjOjqVcc0fpbNKaJvvnc9Rnin2Quvc7lwH%2FJ3OKdTzYWianc7mX9WQnefK9X4cyMSKc%2BWEAAQpDF%2BuZ%2BlPtmHjNe2CneP4URTLtIUM%2FInK3sYRaG20noCFmW7%2F17e0RLFU0Z962tPe9yfByqGpFw2K3quVh2Z8Iwbm86sISP6mHQy8cxdlqDABwk9b%2BTwR%2BN%2FZF6YvifQc045Ylm48mZh1eq6sFg9QnbzZYxcE1uwX%2FB%2BmEA0ZC4d7zjaNkTCxjVukEB%2BfXqc5sU4Ndsg46cKuqRqatGK1gxddiQmRbLJbtcKCQ%2FcPoUI3q886t8257TxIlZIDmpX9ExHL54z4SfJVdCT78pP2EXYFcsYDcNPyTbF5UwY4ZYeVrluLN8HRdWHjJw8ZTA5qQ%3D%3D&checksum=193450570377a3ad6fbccd0b4aae997f1d27eb1ba398 Will need into your 12 volt fuse panel, pretty simple depending on ones skills. Can be done by you or almost any RV tech.

I would have a HVAC tech to test the unit, it could have a problem with too much or too little cooling fluid. Or the thermostat may have a problem.

It sounds as though the salesman switch may have been somehow gotten wired into the AC wiring causing 12 volts to be thrown into the AC current which will look like an almost dead short to the AC circuit. I can't imagine why the salesman switch got messed with unless it was unhooked to prevent any backflow to the alternator during the alternator change, and possibly got hooked up wrong.

Chassis and coach 12 volts is not at the transfer switch, it will be where 12 volts ties to the isolater to push 12 volts to the chassis battery instead of the house batteries. The salesman switch turns on and off the house batteries to preserve the charge in the house batteries. Transfer switch only controls shore AC and generator AC to the coach AC circuitry.

My first thought was 12 volt to 120 converter, then I shook my head to clear that thought, LOL.

With shore power off, disconnect the ac input from the inverter/converter from it's input circuit, now using an ohm meter, place one lead onto the neutral input and the other lead onto the hot input, now read the ohms, anything less than 2000 ohms resistance will trip a 25 amp breaker. As I indicated in my post above, it sure sounds like an internal shortage in your unit. The closer to zero, the more severe the shortage. The problem may be as simple as a frayed wire inside the unit to a more severe case of blown diodes like Rich talked about. And as I indicated earlier, if you are not electrically trained or at least inclined, it will be in your best interest to seek professional help with this project, I am surprised that the Xantrex tech did not advise that it be sent to a designated repair facility when the unit tripped the generator also. The test that I spoke of can be performed by almost anyone, just be sure that no power is applied by shore or battery power.

It sounds as though your inverter has developed a short, best to leave it to a professional to repair or consider replacing it.

Don't start it unless you can drive it at least 25 miles, doing so will shorten the life of the diesel engine due to moisture build up and not getting rid of that build up. If your coach has a system to keep the batteries charged while plugged into shore power then let that system do it's job. If no way to keep the batteries charged, then use a battery disconnect. Be sure to use diesel antibacterial additive in your fuel, other than bacteria your diesel fuel has a very long life. Best to store with a full fuel tank than nearly empty because of condensation. Welcome to the forum and hopes for many happy tales and trails.

Try this one, it's free and only requires an internet/wifi connection to your computer. You can use a HDMI cable from computer if the computer is equipped, if not then a vga cable and audio cable to the tv if you want to , or simply watch on the computer. https://ustvgo.tv/

Poor guy, sad but can come true if the tow is not secured by parking brake. I live on the top of a peak, downhill in every direction and learned early to not make that mistake.

Sorry that you miss understood my quote, because the air system uses air it does not need the vacuum booster. The only ones that need a vacuum booster is when the coach does not have air brakes.

Hi Rich, I use average amps, max is usually 100% added to average, 8 X.5=4X10 windings 40, plus 20% 8 for overhead of the inverter = 48 @120, very close results in most cases with the inverter manufacturers equation. I still use the formulas pretty often, and still love it..

I also have an Aetna advantage plan, covers in all 50, there is a network, but there are doctors in almost every city, and if you can't find one, you just pay a higher co-pay for one not in the network. Co-pay is $5.00 in and $30.00 out.

I would also fly the LE stars and stripes just below Old Glory, and anyone doesn't like it just tell to have another big orange on me! I have a son inlaw now retired from sheriff's dept., and a grandson still there. "Some" of the world has truly gone crazy.

The M&G system uses air from the coach's pneumatic brake system, pushes that air to a chamber installed on the hydraulic master system in front of the vacuum brake booster. I use one on my Jeep and like Joe said, it works great. Took me a day with many rest stops in between.
