Mine still does

I also have one of these plugged into the coach inside on the wall. http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/digital-line-monitor/24900 Voltage drops it sounds an alarm, usually within a few seconds of my TRC on the tower cutting power to the coach.

Trynforpar, we have the Rand McNally RV gps...it's a better fit as a wheel chock than a GPS! I have called, sent it back, updated, updated, updated (I could do this all day its been updated so many times....) still almost useless! It has tried to send us down cattle pastures, on roads with a 3 ton covered bridge (and it has all of our coach information loaded). The final straw was we tried to get to Myrtle Beach SC last year from PA...it couldn't locate Myrtle Beach SC. I use it now just as a live map on rare occasions. I am planning on purchasing a Garmin for next year. Rand McNally's customer service is non existent, after it was returned and still didn't work, I asked them to replace it or refund me they told me it was out of warranty now and can no longer help me with my concerns. We are not full timers so time has worked against us with this product and they tell you their latest update will fix it, so you update it, next trip out...still doesn't work, call back...and on and on and on.... I believe they tell you to update it, update it, update it just to drag you closer to your warranty expiration then they cut you loose . My problem with phone APP's DW would have it in her hand telling me where to go, which is often a disaster. Plus it would use phone data and when you exceed that your monthly bill goes off the charts.

Carl, same here. I have a progressive built in, TRC hanging on the tower. I'm going to be honest....I had no idea there was one hard wired and I bought the TRC when I got the coach. I will say the TRC has the latest technology and it trips faster than the Progressive, plus it displays why it tripped.

Thanks Brett, I will pass that onto my DW.

Bill, stay on interstates. State routes should be OK. If under 13'6" it's posted with the route for you to take. In PA anyway. Watch Connecticut...interstates no problem, other than that I will often route out our trip, Google street view and click my way down the road, especially if I see railroad tracks. You can usually see the height signs. Streams, creeks and rivers on back roads, I will also check weight ratings on the bridge. A little pre planning can make the trip much more pleasant.

Melted a bus bar in the breaker panel on the last coach and all of the wiring to the ATS. I learned the hard way . I have friends that still do not have any protection. They just don't seem to care.

The fact that you just don't see a 30 amp commercial tester always puzzled me. Maybe someone makes it now? Especially since that outlet by designwould be more commonly wired incorrectly. I always used my $17.95 volt meter and my plug in surge protector when we had a 30 amp coach.

It sure will

I run the Power Pal Brett mentioned above, I keep it next to the drivers seat in a pouch. I grab it every single time before I plug in. I just wish it was louder when it is speaking, sometimes it gets drowned out with background noise. If you are getting two 120 legs from a 30 amp 3 prong outlet its wired like a clothes dryer .

Now see I was focused on the smoker trying to figure out what he was cooking.

Glad to hear you are all fixed up.

All connected and working. I will install the fuel cooler when it arrives. At this time we have no more long distant trips planned so temps shouldn't be such a concern. Call me crazy but it seems to idle smoother

Nice coach!! our paints are a similar combination and color. Glad to help!!

Wow, this is an interesting topic. I will agree watch your head up here!! Many covered bridges and just low bridges. We watched a guy in a C (old Ford E series from the 80's) cross a covered bridge next to a CG, while the bridge opening was tall enough the sign hanging on the chains was lower, when he entered you could hear it drag all the way across his roof as he entered, I guess he thought he was going to get stuck, all we herd was the 4bbl open up and he shot out the other side, I don't remember ever laughing that hard since . Saw him the next day on our morning walk in the CG he broke the AC cover and the roof vent max air covers. He got lucky! we still laugh about that. He was also over loaded on that bridge, weight limit was only 3 tons . Carl, I'm not sure you can walk down the roads up here without a helmet .

Brett, I ordered this one http://www.jegs.com/i/Derale/259/15850/10002/-1. I spoke to their tech support department, they told me it would be a good fit for Diesel Fuel. I have no space to add it to the coolant package, I do have a large spot to the side of it and behind into the engine bay area. I'm not crazy about the fan (more work to install) but if there isn't adequate air flow I will need to create it. I cant seem to locate a thermostatic switch low enough to auto turn it on, so I am thinking the mud flap might shove air upwards while driving and it will be enough to keep it cool (so maybe there is a reason for the flap on my coach.... Flap sits behind where this will be mounted). If not I will install the fan on it that it comes with and wire it up. Really thanking myself for pulling one 8 conductor trailer wiring harness down the spine when I replaced the fuel lines in 2014 just incase I needed it. So far it has come in handy. My plan is to mount it toward the front of the coach on a 45 degree angle forward of the filter in the picture (it is soon to be leaving). I'm guessing that there is air flow coming up from there as the flap is mounted just beyond that. Besides, if it ever leaks it wont spray fuel onto the engine. I think the coach name will have to change to Frankencoach

I would just run the RV antifreeze through all of it, spring time run the ice maker until it produces clear ice cubes. Sanitize the fresh system and run the ice maker off of the tank to get the chlorine through the system. I have a friend that tried the blowing of the lines....needless to say he flooded his unit first trip out. Good thing for him I had a spare water pump and shark bite fittings. RV antifreeze is cheap insurance, my coach when I had a washer dryer combo unit was 6 gallons, now 5 for the entire unit (washer removed). Less than $20.00 its all safe. Five, do you have a ceramic heater in your wet bay tied to the Aqua Hot system? I leave those on all winter set to 40 degrees.

Any reason why the surge protector was not connected at the house? Mine trips at home from voltage spikes more often then I choose to acknowledge . Happened yesterday as a matter of fact while I was standing next to it...must be my electrifying personality .
