Well, not the fuse or a loose wire at the switches. Still haven't found a way to get to the motor for the step cover. Info/pics appreciated.

We traveled south on US 65 to Branson, MO today towing a 2012 Jeep GC. As we got into the Ozarks we started really slowing down going up hills. It was doing fine on less steep hills, but slowed to 30-35 mph on the ones around Branson. These are not like we are crossing the Rockies. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas.

TBUTLER, you are correct. Mine is mechanical as well and will only operate when the ignition switch is on. I checked the diagram in the book for the panel you mentioned. There is not a fuse labeled step cover. There is one that says bat step and two that say step pwr. Those three fuses tested good. You mentioned that you worked underneath to get one back on tracks so I went underneath. I could not see any way to get to the step cover. There is a metal housing and the steps and cover mechanism are enclosed. The only motor or wires I could see was to the step and not the step cover. Do you or anyone else have any ideas?

I have a 2008 Monaco Camelot. The step cover was working great until we stopped fuel today. It worked normally when stopped, but wouldn't close back when we were ready to leave. I'm thinks a fuse maybe, but I have no idea where it is located. Anyone know where I might look for the fuse or any other ideas what it might be?

Temp is 12 deg

Not very good news today. Service tech came out. Very nice and professional gentleman. If you are ever in Oklahoma City and need mobile service call Price RV repair. Anyway, the center AC was drawing 38A on startup and then dropped down to 11A. As the tech said, the startup draw is high but 11A is good. Problem is, it then starts to rise to 18.3A. Way too high for temp/humidity. He called Dometic tech and they confirmed it is way to high. Bottom line.... I need a new unit. None in stock anywhere in the area and it. At least 2 weeks to get one here. We were leaving on Jul 4th so looks like we'll be changing plans. Not what we had hoped as we start out FT travels, but we'll role with the punches.... He's also going to rewire to split those two units off the same breaker. Hope this fixes things!

I have replaced the breaker twice. It seems to help for a short period. As you know, it doesn't take many times to weaken the spring in them. I have a tech coming out tomorrow and thanks to you folks I have some very good things to talk to him about.

The motor in my ice maker was not turning. Replaced the motor, but still not making ice. Replaced the unit and now it makes ice, but only dumps a couple of times each day. Certainly not enough to keep up. Any ideas?

Well, it has been just over a week and then yesterday the center AC tripped just one of the dual 20A breakers. Gary, what you said about the heat makes sense and I can place my hand on the outside of the breakers and they are really hot, especially when they've been running for a while. Is there any way that you or anyone knows of to solve the problem? I was told to run the fans on high instead of auto. When I do that the fans run all the time. Is thIs what they should do? I thought putting them on high would just insure they run on high speed when the compressor was on.

Herman & Kay, Thank you both for your assistance. This is happening while we are parked. I have a surge protector at the post and it is showing everything good. Since we are living in it full time, I hope I can find someone who can come here to work on it. Planning on trying to find someone tomorrow. Thanks again.

Just got back after three hours and the center AC breaker was tripped.

Thanks for the information and the welcome Kay. Actually, Herman Mullins welcomed me as well. We just sold our house and started full time RVing two weeks ago. Really don't need these problems right off the bat.

Here's where I am. I don't have a meter to check draw. No room for adding another 20A breaker. Can't move wires to a single 20A since only one single 20 and the front AC is on it. No, it is not an add on, it's in the build sheet. One thermostat, 3 zones, 3 sensors (front, mid and rear). Fins are OK. Any other suggestions?

I have a 2008 Monaco with 3 AC units. I'm having a problem with the center and rear units tripping the breakers. I have had it checked out twice and they keep saying everything is well within the normal range. The center/rear units are on a dual 20A breaker and the front unit is on a single 20A breaker. Sometimes just the center unit trips, but usually it is both. I reset them and they seem to work for several days. I have already changed the breaker and it stopped it for a while, but it is doing it again. Anyone have any idea what it might be?
