Thanks Lou. I appreciate your careful response. I do understand the limits of this kind of communication and thank each of you who responded. I think I have enough info from this thread to take some more steps forward in my troubleshooting and have a better understanding of the setup and where I...

I sincerely hope you intend to correct the converter inverter loop situation before passing the motorhome on to a new owner. ? Last Edit: August 11, 2016, 10:56:24 PM by Just Lou ? Yes I believe I already mentioned that I am fixing it before I pass it along. That's the reason for me being on...

My only concern, or question is why would it work for a year and suddenly not work? What could be in the system that broke or is malfunctioning?

Sorry Gary. I wasnt clear enough on the model. We just bought an 04 Mountain Aire. BUT.....we are selling our old MH which is a 1995 Kountry Star which is the MH of subject problem. I'll do some of the things you suggest and see what happens. I'll report back my findings. BTW, I have thought the...

This is strange only because this system worked for the first year we owned the RV and only recently became an issue. I understand the concept of a closed loop running down the batteries. And yet this is exactly how it was set up when we bought it. Is there a relay or isolator that controls this...

To throw another curve ball into this, the 110 plug that the converter is plugged into is only hot when the inverter is on. So the inverter must be on for the converter to work. If I was to guess just looking at the installations 'I would guess the inverter is the add on. The converter is a...

Thanks Gary, I don't think I said the converter was a charger. That is my first question though. Since the converter turns 120v power to 12v does it indeed charge the battery? Or is the Freedom 20 the only battery charger besides the alternator?

We recently upgraded to an 04 Mountain Aire. Our old MH, a Newmar Kountry Star is going up for sale as soon as I figure out this problem. We were returning for the last voyage in the ol' girl when I noticed the alternator needle began to jump. After a few hundred miles on the road we noticed...

Amazon has the best pricing I've found online.

Had mentioned the expectation of taking delivery on a 2002 Dutch Star in a different post. Didn't work out. Drove 450 miles and spent a lot of time last week getting financing arranged to see this jewel. But there was a lot of damage on the coach that was not described, and we might have been...

Gary you mentioned the breaker on the inverter. that was the culprit. Thank you all for you input. We have learned out lesson on load management.

ok so here is the deal. We spent all day checking outlets and tracing circuits. Breakers all checked out etc. Even plugged the power converter into an outside source. But when I started the engine all of a sudden everything worked. Outlets came alive, furnace works....checked everything. The...

Very satisfied. Not gel coat but 20x better than a wax coat. Highly recommended

How I wish that was the case. But no, we will own 2Newmars until the spring when I can sell this one. Not real bright, I know, but it is what it is. I'm wondering why the roof units continue to work and the hot water heater will spark but not the furnace? But virtually nothing else will come on...
