    Do you know the voltage reading directly at batteries with it running and does your coach use solid state isolator (diodes)? And does it have a tach wire?

    With the engine running I get @14 V.  To my knowledge, I do not have solid state diodes.  The tach wire is attached to a terminal on the back of the alternator.

  2. Just replaced the springs on my HWH jacks. Found the best prices at:

    Get the model number of your jacks first, I found that my front jacks were different from the rear. Here is a chart on spring sizes.

    A note of caution. Per the chart, and upon investigation, I found the recommended spring for my rear jacks was 18" long, however, the distance between the mounting brackets on my jacks when fully retracted was only 16". If I went with the recommended springs, my jacks would never fully retract. I went with a HWH spring rated the same that was 14" long.

    Here is the data on mine.

    Front Jacks APP40506 (9000#) replacement springs #R3847
    HWH Rear Jacks AP8805 (12000#) replacement springs R34692 (14") vs
    R38956 (18")

  3. The best/easiest thing to do is to add a separate pure sine wave inverter with a built in transfer switch for the fridge. I would suggest you look at a KISAE SWXFR1210 1000W Pure Sine Inverter w/ Transfer or KISAE SWXFR1220 2000W Pure Sine Inverter w/ Transfer. I haven't personally used this, but I know of others that have and are very happy.

    The 1000 watt Kisae Pure Sine Wave inverter specs list a idle amp draw of 1.2 amps. That means it will be drawing that much even with the fridge off. Another option is the Xantrex ProWatt 1000 Pure SineWave draws <.6 amps at idle . The Xantrex ProWatt doesn't come with an internal transfer switch but Kisae makes a nice external one.
