    You’re mistaken. You’re not wrong.

    Doubt a 03 Patriot has a 3012 inverter unless it replaced a 2012 MSW inverter that likely came in a 03 rig.
  3. Ivylog
    What about your 120V outlets and TV? If not, on the side of the inverter are 2, hard to find, push to reset breakers…one may be tripped. 120V motors do not run as efficiently on MSW power… often it’s the controller electronic that do not like the MSW. Samsung work well on MSW power because the compressor runs on DC current, not AC.

    Wooden 6X6 won’t help for the front. Instead of metal posts 9” long, why not 12-13” to put in after raising the coach up?

    $2400…I installed a 21 cuft Whirlpool ($450 scratch & dent) in my 04 Dynasty and it almost fit perfectly …1/2” to tall. Lowered the floor 3/4” and had to remove the driver’s window as it’s no counter depth. Created a separate batteries- 1000W inverter-100A charger-transfer switch to power it. Today they make it in a side by side for $1300.

    My O4 Dynasty has it and the unit is mounted on the ceiling of the bay with the inverter.

    Splendide Washer

    Ivylog replied to tmw188's topic in Appliances

    I’ve done it a little differently than the above. I turn both water valves off and loosen the hoses, not removing. There should be a access panel in the back of the floor above the washer…hidden in the carpet. Like the above, I put the antifreeze in the drum but start the wash cycle for a couple minutes and then go to the spin for a couple minutes, as above.

    Pretty sure since you may have a BigBoy relay, the solenoid is in there too, not up front.
  9. Ivylog
    There may be several solenoids that look the same. A 12V test light or meter will help in the troubleshooting. A 1402 needs 12V power for the control board.
  10. Ivylog
    I would start by checking the solenoid ^^^^ and it may be in the Rear R Box. The refrigerator not powering up bothers me unless it’s not a residential… NoCold requires 12V power.

    Guess you could block after driving onto ramps (no need for ramps for the tag) for even more clearance but with the rig raised up and the blocked there’s a fair amount of room plus in some places by the axle you can almost sit up. Problem with ramps you still need to lower the rig once on he ramps to see how much clearance you really have…about 5” less.
  12. Ivylog
    No, they go side to side on top of each other for 18” (actually 16.5”) high. The picture is the ramps I built out of scrap 2X10 and some plywood. 3’ long down to 25”. The plywood helps to keep the 2X10s from splitting.

    I’ve built 600AH 6 months ago for $1200. Have ordered 600AH of cells that will bring the price down to less than $600. …some have said “too go to be true” which I do not disagree with. With the current backlog of ships waiting to be unloaded, no telling when I’ll get the cells. The BMSs I ordered have arrived (shipped by air) and I really don’t need the cells before next June. Here is the link to the thread I started on this:

    OK, I admit I’m frugal… I figured the ramps pictured above cost $200 for 8 2X12 10’ long plus they are fairly heavy. You also do not need 2X12 as your tire are not even 10” wide. A 10’ 6X6 costs $40 and each 40” section is manageable and 3 should fit under the hitch after you raise the coach up. With ramps you need to lower the coach down as that’s the clearance you are worried about. With blocks under the hitch the rig is not going to get any lower.

    Time to enlarge the deck.
  16. Ivylog
    OK, what’s the ceiling height? Any pictures of the entrance?
  17. Ivylog
    Lower the floor or deflate the tires??? I was concerned the raised rails would impact getting the Navigator into the MH bay in my house…fortunately it just fits.
  18. Ivylog
    Agree it sounds like a multiplex problem BUT I didn’t think a Dynasty got the multiplex system until 07. OP, do you have rocker switches or pads will buttons that light up when pressed? Congrats on a great coach having owned a 04 Dynasty for 14 years.
  19. Ivylog
    Doesn’t make any difference which leveling system you have…you’re adjusting the ride height valve/rod The S-10 chassis is 9” front/rear but I went to 10” on the front so the front cap clears curbs better when making tight turns.
  20. Ivylog
    Hopefully it might be in the Bville area…would love to drive it. How much of a difference did the Watts make. From the sounds of things if I had the Watts, I could put the cruise on and get up and go to the bathroom.
  21. Ivylog
    One person posted a drive axle of 17,000 lbs but mine is 23,000 lbs…a 6,000 lbs difference and why I’d be dragging the hitch. Also, you couldn’t adjust the amount the tag supports.
  22. Ivylog
    I don’t see how a coil spring does anything more than support weight in a linear way. If I had coil springs on the back of my rig, the hitch would be dragging the ground in the slightest dip.

    Pretty sure the house + batteries cable is a Y to the inverter and the Rear Run Box. Everything the “Salesman” switch controls is powered from the RRB. The alternator charges the engine batteries and once they get to 13.4+/- the BIRD energizes the BigBoy in the RRB connecting the 2 battery bank’s together letter the alternator charge the house batteries…this could be hundreds of AHs that go unmetered. Sorry, but I think you’ll be wasting $40 and the time to put the shunt in the wrong place at the inverter.

    Guess I should have said around 2006 Monaco moved the fuel tank on the S-10 chassis (Dynasty and above) to the second bay.
  25. Ivylog
    Van, thanks for taking the time to explain BUT there are 4 (guess they are P H Bars), 2 on each side from beside the frame to the H frame that keeps the H frame from twisting in your shaft and wheel example??? Guess my question is: do the 10 bushings in the 5 P H Bars wear over time so the H frame can twist… does the handling start out OK and gets worse as you put miles on the rig?
