Hello,
Belated Happy New Year to everyone here - and thanks for your earlier help and advice with other issues.
The good news is that our generator is now running very happily, and once it has been running for a little while, it runs very quietly and seems very happy - even under about 15A load.
We are still having issues with the levelling system. It works... Sort of... some of the time. My wife, Dawn, levelled the vehicle, where it is currently being stored for the winter. We came back a few weeks later to check it out, run the generator, etc, etc. We saw that the left, front jack was retracted. Very strange, we thought. Re extended the jack and re-levelled the vehicle. Came back about a week later and the left, rear jack was retracted. Anyone seen anything like this before?
This vehicle is fitted with a small solar panel to trickle charge the batteries (I am assuming the aux batteries). There is an LED just aft of the dining table which says that solar charging is active when it is lit. We have never seen it lit. Obviously this is a very low priority problem, since it will only provide a relatively low charge current, but I would like to get it working. Does anyone have any advice on fault-finding this?
When the generator is running does it charge the main engine battery? Recently (in very cold weather), we have always had to use the aux-start function.
Service engine soon light has recently come on. What exactly causes this? Is it time/mileage based, or is it more complicated?
Thanks again for all your help and opinions!
Dawn & Paul.
