Paul I’ll let you know. Mine started acting up on our last trip. When using the generator it’s cycling through the shedding process. I need to do some troubleshooting to confirm I’m getting the generator signal to the board. Today’s project.

Paul will your agreement also let you purchase any of the load shedding system boards? the 750 series in particular. Assuming they even still make this system.

I recently read that Winegard acquired Silverleaf. Not sure if that's good or bad.

Scotty was fishing the wire from the power bay easy? Nice bezel.

Great job to the entire team. Merry Christmas to all.

Not much else to say

My understanding is all Diplomats were manufactured in Wakarusa. We had our floor upgraded a couple of years ago by a company called New Debut. Their shop is in one of the buildings that was part of the original Monaco campus. It’s a big place.

Bendix EC-60 ABS/ATC/ESP Controllers Service Manual Bendix EC-60 ABS:ATC:ESP Controllers Service Manual.pdf Steve I have a round J1939 in the front run bay that I assume (I've never tested it) is the connection for the ABS system This booklet I just posted for Bob shows a diagnostic tool that plugs into such a port.

Bob I also have a 2006 Diplomat and lost an ABS wheel sensor a couple of years ago. After searching I found the Bendix module under the shift pad and leveling panel. I was able to trigger the error codes by jumping a couple of the pins on one of the connectors at the box. I too have always wondered why I don't have the diagnostic board many seem to have in the front run bay. I do have an extra J1939 and assume it's connected to the Bendix box but have never confirmed. I have the pdf file of the Bendix box if you would like a copy.

For all you guys that have gone to a residential with the furnace underneath and being married to a vertically challenged spouse (5'0") has your better half complained about reaching to the top part of the refrigerator? I know it's not earth shattering, but I am curious. My wife has a Dickins of time even for the cabinets. I bought her a short stool, but that's also a pain.

Jim Definitely planning to check this week. I replaced my IOTA last year so I know my new transfer switch also needs it’s yearly checkup. Thanks. Bob. Thanks. Will be doing a check up next week.

Richard Thanks for the explanation. Someday I'll have to take a look and see how mine has been wired.

I’m confused. Although I haven’t personally looked at my control boards the manual I have indicates the air conditioner loads are not controlled by the EMS board breaking the 120 VAC, instead by interrupting the thermostat circuits. Which is it?

I only had one cable that ran from the front entertainment area in my Diplomat to the rear TV. I wanted the ability to run either Dish or OTA on the same cable. I put a couple of diplexers on either end with success. Now the cable works with either my Traveler to Wally signal or the Winegard Sensar OTA signal from my front mounted antennas.

That can’t be a Monaco installation. Wiring is way to nice and tidy.

You may have issues using the coax for the Dish Box if you're going through a splitter. I used Diplexers to handle the higher frequency for Dish vs. the lower frequency for OTA TV. Works well. Here's my setup Monaco Entertainment Upgrade.pdf

One difference in wiring is the 2812 only has one output. The 2012 has two.

Agree. Mine came with the new larger fuse.

Footprint is the same. As mentioned Magnum recommends 4/0 versus your current 2/0 and the 2812 only has one output. I found a two pole Square D mini breaker panel At Home Depot I’m planning on using.

I think Scotty is ready to go with the correct hardware. I did the quick connects with a 30 foot hose teed for both my Q1000 Weber and my 17" Blackstone. Like others have said you need to remove the regulators at the appliance. If you don't have a local propane shop to help with parts I have read good things about www.propanegear.com. I know they have the parts to bypass the built in regulator on the small Blackstone griddles. Here's a picture of what I did to eliminate the regulator on mine.

I respectfully disagree. I think Dish is far easier to work with. But that’s what makes the world go around. The ability to have a different opinion about a product or service.

I've heard that RV sales are up because people want a way to travel that they consider safer. I know that Lippert stock is up.

For the guys that didn’t do a complete repaint on either the whole coach or a panel and instead used a touch pen or brush, how does it look? Was the clear coat mixed in with the color in the pen or was that a second coat?
