  1. I did locate the yellow wire. I decided to remove the satellite dome and place the wineguard in the center of the roof instead of the tv antenna location. Will look for the upgrade item for the batwing. Thanks to all of you who offered suggestions.
  2. I appreciate the opinions. TV is not the main reason as I am hoping to improve the cellular and wifi signal when parked. I hope to use this dome and not have to be raising and lowering an antenna everytime we stop. If we pick up a tv schedule, that is an added benefit. Where would the yellow wire route to if it is the antenna sensor?
  3. Thanks for that info. it was hard to tell if the yellow wire was attached to anything under all the sealant that had been piled on it. Will check that coax for 12 volts but may need to pull a new wire into the opening.
  4. 2002 Monaco Knight - I want to remove the wing style tv antenna and replace it with a Wineguard Air 360+. I need 12 volts for the Air 360. There is a yellow wire attached to the old antenna but I cannot find it on my wiring diagram. There are several yellow wires in a bundle that passes behind the overdash tv cabinet. I would like to be able to switch the Air 360 on and off so it is not pulling power at all times. There is a switch in passenger side cabinet over the dash that says something like tv signal amplifier. Has anyone done this type of change and can help with the yellow wire? Also, should I be able to pull the old tv coax cable out of the roof or is it going to be attached up in there. Thanks for any responses and suggestions. George B.
  5. Checked the voltage on the 4 house batteries. Low voltage was 6.77 and high voltage was 6.81. The charger seemed to be working hard and all I had on in the unit was the interior lights - some of which have already been switched to led. The voltage shown on the display in the back cabinet was 14.5 and the status continued to show the batteries at half-charge. Does the charger also charge the chassis batteries when the engine is not running?
  6. CapnDean - will do that when I get back down to my storage building this weekend. Vito.a - I did download the manual and all settings appear correct but I will double check ktloah - I have not found any display for the mode. The panel does show the output from the charger and the state of the batteries. It stays at the 1/2 charged place. My electrician buddy says to check the location of the sensor wire that goes back to the Freedom and make sure it is on the correct battery in the bank of four. I plan to check on that this weekend. I am not leaving the power on to the unit when I am not there to check on it. Thanks to all of you for the great suggestions.
  7. New to Class A (own a truck camper and a travel trailer) - I acquired a 2002 Monaco Knight from the owner of the company I work for. It was stored inside and connected to a 50 amp service. The four 6-volt deep cycle house batteries had been boiled dry. I have replaced the four batteries but I need to determine if the 1500 watt inverter/charger is dropping into any maintenance mode after charging the batteries to capacity or is it malfunctioning. Does anyone have a way to test to the output on the charger? I am also open to replacing the combi unit if necessary. I love these forums. I built a 77 F150 4wd from the ground up using the FTE forum so I know how knowledgeable you guys are. Thanks for your help.
