OK heres the update: I plugged the "Kill a Watt" upon arrival before I turned on anything and was pulling 11.36 Amps with the converter and refer running. So I than turned off the converter and was still pulling 11.36, looking like the refer was pulling 11 amps but I did fine the plug for the...

The dash AC gives me the cooling I need at the driver station, if there are others in the RV or Kids wanting to watch TV etc than the gen set is on. It really comes down to personal choice, I like a cool RV so I run all the AC's on the fly. If it was winter time than I might just need the power...

I think Gary's math is spot on. I picked up a "Kill a Watt" at Home Depot and plan to plug that in ASAP when I arrive on the 21th.

You think? I will be up there in a couple of weeks to check all this out.

I'm thinking just use your side mirrors.

My AC feeds the dash only and I run it whenever I feel the need and it cools right nicely. As for my roof AC's, when I crank the engine I crank the Gen set and the gen set runs until I get to where I'm going or I hook up to shore power. Last trip it ran for 24 hrs on the first leg of the trip...

Gary, thanks that will work.

I think I will run into problems using this type item as most if not all of my stuff is hard wired.

I bought a 1995 Monaco Dynasty and am very pleased with the MH. Nothing wrong with a older coach, it all comes down to how they were taken care of.

250 deg is TOO hot. IMO the John Deere Chassis w/ the 460 Ford was a poor design for cooling from the get go. I had a 1989 Overland with a 460 Ford and it also had a overheating problem. I finally put a fan in front of the radiator and this fixed my overheating problem. I would also get the...

Thanks for the feedback. I will be back up there in a few weeks and will be checking into all this as it is nuts to be using this much power. No one is pulling off my meter so that is not the case. Kwh cost is .114. The RV park is a standup place so I'm pretty sure nothing funny is going on.

OK, so I have my RV in a RV park and use it part time when I'm in the area. 1995 Monaco Dynasty We arrived in the RV park memorial day weekend spent 4 days than departed for home. I set the forward AC @ 88 deg, the magic fan at 95 deg, refrigerator was on, converter was on and hot water...

Thanks guys The AC was operator error, I have the fan set to high vice auto. I will check the door seal on the refer.

I have had my 96 Monaco set up in a RV park now and just came back after a 30 days to a couple of problems. 1.  The refer is frozen up in the upper part of both the frezzer and refrigerator, it is a side by side Dometic Elite. See picture. 2. The forward AC unit (2 years old) does not cycle...
