It certainly sounds as though there is an issue with the ATS side of the surgeguard/ATS, it could be as simple as a loose connection within or just before this unit. Have you tested the unit using only the generator? If it works correctly, then there could be a bad connection inside the ATS, or even in the power line between the portable surge guard and the ATS. I would even go as far as trying a different campsite hookup just to eliminate the possibility of intermittent problem with that CG pedestal.

I have always placed an inline checkvalve on the outlet side of the pump with the flow arrow away from the pump. The one that is on the pump is a rubber diaphragm that is weak by design, and can often be held open by just a small piece of debris, and for that reason, anytime I do any plumbing work on a coach I add a checkvalve, they are inexpensive and can be acquired at almost any store that sells plumbing supplies. And of course this will only help if it is the checkvalve that is not working, as Brett said the fill valve could be the culprit and the checkvalve will not correct that situation.

Not trying to get too far away from op subject, those small blinking triangles work great at the top of the cones for breakdown purposes.

Two good HD bottle jacks for air bag replacement is almost a must. If you are not a smoker, get someone who is, air the coach up and while it is, let the smoker blow heavy smoke exhales at every fitting, watch the smoke movement. Using this method saves time over the spray bottle at every fitting. Of course you will need the bottle to verify exactly where the leak actually is.

It's usually not our fault either, I parked 1/2 block away from the Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee Fl., several years ago, no cars any near me, when we came out, there was a car within 2 feet of my front end, nothing behind, I tried to back my 4 down toad, couldn't go more than 2 feet before the toad would jackknife due to the angle that it was parked in. I of course unhooked and DW backed it up. That's when I purchased 4 of the orange cones and started placing them in front, most that will park that close, are so lazy that they want move them to park that close now.

I learned several years ago not to choose the shortest route when using any GPS for trip planning in my MH. LOL

With the advent of the very thin led tv's, one can locate one that is pretty close to or slightly larger ones, then make a plywood door that fits the hole where the crt style tv is, then use heavy duty hinges to mount the door with the new thin screen tv to the door, which will give new cabinet space for more storage.

Yes Deer Run pull throughs are about 70 feet, but they have a place to park trailers etc. at no extra charge. If you need over 70, as stated by others is pretty hard to find, in most places. Some have a few that just happened that way because of the lay of the land. There is an ACOE near Eufaula Al., called White Oak Creek Camp, located on Lake Eufaula, that over half of their sites are 90 to 120 feet, and of course they honor Golden Age or what ever is the new name for it. Problem is there is that 2 week limit or you must move, although I think that that rule is suspended for the winter months. Lake city RV park, just above your stated home location is under new ownership, and they have greatly improved that CG over the last 2 years, and they have extended stay rates. Happy trails

I can't answer your direct question, but will add in case you are not already acquainted with Deer Run campground near Troy Alabama, they offer weekly and monthly rates. Excellent cg and one of the better hunting locations in Alabama.

No GS is not infalable, was let twice and most know that three strikes your out, well quess what, GS is now completely out of my life.

Is the I-phones and the mini I pad on a Verizon plan, or are you using another service? The Mifi is a wireless router which you can actually with you, in a purse or pocket or even in a case that one could wear on the belt. I works just like any home router except that it receives over the air with the cell phone service. So in answer to your question no you can not be five miles away and expect to use the mifi. But if you already have data service for your Mac devices, and do not disconnect from that service, then you will still have service from that source.

Here is a 7.0 cf model 12/120 volts. https://www.westmarine.com/buy/norcold--de-0061-ac-dc-refrigerator-freezer-right-hinge--5388699?cm_mmc=PS-_-Google-_-GSC%20-%20Vendors-_-5388699&product_id=5388699&adpos=1o2&creative=108421556644&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&mrkgadid=3076579023&mrkgcl=481&rkg_id=h-8764752a9641d2adeef123c827a70d3b_t-1512843651&gclid=Cj0KCQiAsK7RBRDzARIsAM2pTZ-HjJeItKi0hZN5-pgU8MTjdqBNvdYOfJzEUm1s2putvpt5OKMkV88aAm1KEALw_wcB

Google Sikaflex sealant, the aircraft and trucking industry have used it for years, I use it also and have had no issues over the past ten years.

This is a little unusual for December in central Alabama.

In most places of reasonable travel you should be fine, just remember when entering driveways and the like you will need to be mindful of the fact that the receiver is down pretty low. Best to go to some of these types of places without the toad and have the wife or friend to watch for you as you slowly make an approach to these types of dips, if it is going to bottom out, don't force yourself to drive on. Just a couple of these attempts will let you know what to avoid while on your journeys. You will also find that the angle that you make these approaches is also helpful in avoiding a situation. Welcome to the forum, and good luck with your new endeavors.

Yep! When you remove power from the power supply, the amplifier does go off.

Staying above 12 volts in most cases kindly eliminates a bad cell in one of the batteries, but a bad cable or corrosion on the terminal end (or ends) can cause the lower voltage or even a poor ground to the frame (chassis) can cause a lower voltage. The cable that crosses from positive to negative could be either corroded or even too small to properly carry current from battery to battery. There are many scenarios that may or may not be a factor. You stated that you checked the battery terminals and the reading went from 12.04 to 12.41 on that bank, so there is progress there, maybe recharge then recheck, if no better, then look for more terminal corrosion, and check the copper wires right where the terminals are connected for that green colored corrosion, if this has occurred, then the cable needs to be replaced.

Blake has already stated to use a fused wire for testing, I was only adding that the jump starters work great for testing. Fused wires can be obtained at most auto parts stores and most hardware stores. Happy holidays to all.

Those small jump start units work great for this, use them very often.

Your inverter/charger is working as Brett just said, if you have a bad cell in any one of your batteries, the charger may be overcharging because of this condition, ie. staying in bulk mode because of the bad or weaker battery.

If I were Carl, I'd stay with pork chops in the fridge, and don't quit your day job.

If there was nothing pulling any power from the house batteries, the drop should be almost none. But you must factor in any posiblity of a parasitic drain. Best way to test is use the disconnect switch after a full charge. Then you can watch for the drop, as stated earlier by others, 13.2 to 13.5 should be available on both banks immediately after unplugging. If the drop happens within 30 minute to close to 12 volts, then that could be the sign of a bad battery in the bank, that's why a good current test device needs to happen right after the batteries have been completely charged.

The giver must shop at one of those dollar stores where everything is $1.. I have used one in the past while in a bind for lack of my tool bag one that cost less than $6.00 that read in tenths. Hope you get this resolved soon, the repairman stated that the batteries were being overcharged, the alternator on the coach may have been charging in bulk mode to try to overcome the weak battery situation, or may mean that the voltage regulator on the coach system has gone bad, it may be built into the alternator or an external depending on make and model.

Well, 1975 was my first trip to DC, we were trying to get to the capital building, ten different policemen told me to turn left on some street, not Pennsylvania, just 2 blocks past Paul Revere statue. I passed 10 different Paul Revere's, commented to my wife that they must have really loved Paul Revere, anyway the tenth police officer said, "I'll show you the way", he then cranked his motorcycle and proceeded, we only saw Paul one more time. Long story short, he was telling me the wrong name for the street that I was supposed to turn, the road that I was on was one that actually circled around the capital, but was far away enough that you could still not see the dome, LOL!
