It did clean up nicely. I repainted it with bedliner spray paint.

The PO of my coach had AGMs put in when I bought it 3 years ago and I've been very pleased. I really like not having to watch the water. I know it's easy to watch, but with my work and just life in general I find it's one less thing for me to have to worry about.

I've wondered about the wire for the remote sensor, but mine is not in a slide, so no movement there. I removed the plastic cover this am before work and pulled and spread the 2 wires apart to see if that makes a difference. I've already heard it short cycle once since coming back from work. I'll find my electronics cleaner and get on the roof and clean up contacts when I have a little free time.

@trailmug @jacwjames I was wrong about the generator. It did short cycle this AM on genny. I edited the original post earlier w an update at the beginning since that should change things up. I've always wondered about the thermostat sensor being a culprit. No vents blow directly on it. I've thought about putting a heat gun near it when it's doing it bad to see what happens. I like the idea of switching the intellitec around and seeing if the front does it.

We are remodeling our house for the next couple of months so I'll be trying the above suggestions and keep everyone updated. I did mess w the thermostat remote sensor some, but put it back like it was.

Update: it is still short cycling on generator. I didn't catch it happening yesterday, but this AM it has been doing it again. I'm leaving the original post below. Thank you all. Hey all, for a couple of years I've had an issue w my rear Dometic Duotherm AC. Symptoms: mainly I notice this in the mornings, but I think it happens more than that. The compressor will start and sometimes it may run 3 seconds up to 30 seconds and kick off. Other times it'll do just fine. I discovered this weekend that it does NOT do this on generator. It only does it on 50A and it happens no matter where I'm plugged into. I have replaced both the hard start and the run capacitors with no change. This past week I put in a Soft Start and while it does start up softer, it will still kick off like before. I have also killed all power to the coach for minutes and reset the thermostat all with no change. @Scotty Hutto and I feel this may be related to the Intellitec system. I do not see any lights showing shedding when this happens and the fan will still run, only the compressor stops. Has anyone been through this? Found a solution? It will keep the bedroom cool so its not a huge deal, but it wakes me in the AMs and is a nagging issue to me.

I would look at how everything is wired. It sounds as if your inverter is hardwired straight to your batteries or a post between the switch and batteries. I have a boat with a bilge pump like that. If the bilge gets enough water to raise the float it kicks on no matter what the battery switch is set to. My house batteries leave the batteries and go straight to a switch before going any further. I can turn mine off for a couple of months without draining batteries.

I brought my old fridge out and new in through the front door. Removed passenger seat and unhinged the door for more clearance.

You'll need to take some measurements first. Scotty and I have 06 Dips and they raised the ceiling that year so we may have more vertical clearance than you do. Best to figure out how much space you're working with and go from there. AJ Madison website has a search feature w dimensions and lots of brands to select from.

Dennis, As a veterinarian, I'd suggest you talk to your vet about Sileo or trazodone for the storm phobias. They don't go away and tend to get worse. Look at the Thunder Shirts also.

It is 68" long. I ordered it from Bradd and Hall.

Hey Connie, we left the other couch (J lounge) and matched it.

Barry, This is what I found so I used AGM2 and would think you MAY be the same?

I went through rvcams.com and got a Weldex monitor. It wasn't the same size, so it's attached to the dash w command strips which I like bc it allows me to take it off for access.

By warm, is it hot air after a while like the heat is on? Assuming yours is a heat pump like mine, it could be your reversing solenoid which is an easy fix. My understanding is that they run as heat by design and the reversing solenoid has to switch them to AC. This happened to me. You can test it with a strong magnet to try to make it reverse. When mine did that, I didn't test it. I just replaced it and it worked again.

What is it doing exactly? I've had to replace my hard start capacitor a couple of times and that worked. Is the compressor kicking on and running? Could be refrigerant, but there are other possibilities too.

Could you post some pics of the final product w gauges on please?

My paint codes are on a sticker on the driver's seat post and also in the 1/2 bath cabinet (of I remember right..I know there are 2 places)

@Jonbrooks good am and have a great trip. I noticed you have a PT cruiser on a tow dolly. The PO of our coach had a PT cruiser he towed and had a lube pump installed so he could flat tow it. You may be aware of that, but if not, I thought I'd share that. Happy travels.

Terry, try doing a search on Amazon for the same part. I bet the link copied is one of many choices. I ordered mine new from Amazon.

Brett, I'd suggest calling Tim at rvcams.com and talk with him. He's very knowledgeable in this topic.

I swapped my Marinco ones out based on recommendations. One was ok and the other one...well the internals fell apart. I was lucky.

Barry, my local Sam's had 1 Duracell AGM 6v and I waited just over 2 months and that never changed. I called or went by almost weekly. I checked stores up to 150 miles away and nothing. I ended up going w Trojans bc of that. They never could tell me when they'd get more.

Got an update. I pulled the dash switch out today and see 2 blue and 1 red wire. The bottom blue wire as 13v and red and top blue have 0. With the switch on, I see 7v at bottom blue and red wire. Top blue keeps zero. I looked for a fuse but no luck yet. Seems like maybe the top blue should have 12V like the bottom? I have not pulled any lights down yet.

@Dennis H @Jonbrooks Thanks. My inside bar is black metal. My outside bar has never lighted by design I think. I'll look into changing one day.
