gfci 2008 Diplomat. Replaced GFCI and STILL NO POWER? Ideas?
fredelkamp replied to fredelkamp's topic in Electrical Systems
Since the original GFCI only tripped occasionally when I switched on the inverter I have decided it is a back burner item. So I have reinstalled the original GFCI and returned the Leviton GFCI, I think it's just too sensitive for my old system. I will probably order a Hubbell for the next try, but it is really hard to troubleshoot something when it is working 99.9% of the time. The good news is I was able to install a new Old Work Shallow Work Box, as the old one was crumbling. Note: The Magnum manual for the MSH3012RV recommends the following GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interruption) Outlets: Cooper VGF15W Hubbel GF520EMBKA, GFRST15xx and GFRST20xx Series Leviton 8899-A, N7899, GFNT1 and GFNT2 Series -

Yep, that's there, the old one has the line on the bottom and the new one has the line on the top. Two circuits connect to line and one to the load, so only one circuit is protected. -

I wish it was that simple, then it would be an easy fix. But never say never, I'll review the videos and see what that shows. -

I haven't seen any in their documentation. The recommendation for the Leviton, along with a few others was found searching "GFCI" on this site. -
Occasionally my bathroom GFCI trips, usually when I switch on the inverter. Not a big pain but easy to replace right, well not so much. I read the post on here about replacing a GFCI and purchased a 20amp "Leviton GFNT2-T Self-Test SmartlockPro Slim GFCI Non-Tamper-Resistant Receptacle" since it was the only one they had that was on the "approved" list. The replacement went fairly simple even though everything on the new GFCI was backwards from the original. When I turned the circuit breaker back on the status light was green on the new GFCI, but there was no power. The directions say the GFCI is shipped tripped and to insure it is tripped, but it doesn't move, the reset button moves but the GFCI doesn't reset. The status light stays green the whole time. Thinking GFCI was bad I replaced it with a new one, but it didn't work either, so I assume I'm overlooking something and put the old one back in and it's working fine. Any guesses as to what I'm doing wrong? Since this GFCI connects to the Inverter I should probably note that I have upgraded to a Magnum MSH3012RV Pure Hybrid Inverter Charger.

Swapping front and rear original Penguin ac's?
fredelkamp replied to fredelkamp's topic in AC, Heating, and Cooling
The deed is done. the two A/C were swapped for $360. The results are amazing, the front A/C that that was running weak and icing up works great in the bedroom and no more icing up. The rear A/C has no problem heating or cooling the living room and it is a little bit quieter. The techs that did the swap left the control units in place ind just moved the A/C itself., so no worry about dip switches. -
We Have a YouTube Channel called The EdelKampers. We are full-time RVers and travel and live in a 2008 Monaco Diplomat 36PDQ, we call "Bullwinkle". We tow a small truck camper we call "Rocky". Mostly we do reviews on the campgrounds and attractions where we are at, but sometimes things break and we show what we did to fix it.

Swapping front and rear original Penguin ac's?
fredelkamp replied to fredelkamp's topic in AC, Heating, and Cooling
Thanks Tom, both ACs are 15 KW with heat pumps. I only have one thermostat, originally it was the five button unit that also controls the furnace. The old five button thermostat is safely stored away in the box that contained the Micro-Air I replaced it with. Will the Micro-Air need to be reset? Is there a manual/drawing showing the dip switches settings and location? I'm having a mobile tech do the work. All I know is the rear AC will freeze you out of the bed room, not so much with the front one and it likes to ice up. I assume the front one was used a lot more than the rear one and as so could use a freon recharge. -
Swapping front and rear original Penguin ac's?
fredelkamp posted a topic in AC, Heating, and Cooling
Are there any problems with swapping the front and rear original Penguin ac's in my 2008 Diplomat? The rear ac is much stronger then the front one. -
We made a video on this a while back on our solution. I don't think YouTube links are allowed so just search for "No Fuss Flush Not Working. Easy Black Tank Repair"

I did the "reset" this morning. Shut off all AC and DC power and waited 15 minutes, restored the DC and AC power, which was acting funny, AC wouldn't stay on an washer/dryer wouldn't run. All fixed now, just need to find me a display with all the things it's controlling listed.

Air Bags for 2008 Monaco Diplomat 36PDQ.
fredelkamp replied to fredelkamp's topic in Compressed Air Systems
Thanks, I talked to Jim and he said I don't have ping tanks and they put the Automann 8897 on the rear and they have with the 1/4" NPT air inlet, he didn't know what went on the front. I think I'll just wait till I get back to Eugene OR, I'll just have them put on their Ride Enhancement Kit.- 4 replies

I'm looking for replacement Air Bags for my 2008 Monaco Diplomat 36PDQ. It's a Roadmaster RR8R (8 air bag system). I check with several vendors suggested here and the only response I got back was: "Most common is W01-358-9376 with the 1/4" NPT air inlet on the rear and W01-358-8897 with the 3/4" air inlet on the front. They could also all be W01-358-9376 air bags, you would have to check the air line size or call Monaco to be sure. Some people go with all W01-358-8897 bags and bush down from 3/4" to 1/4" if needed." Since I don't think I have Ping tanks, I think the W01-358-9376 with the 1/4" NPT air inlet, but thought I'd check with the experts before I order them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dash A/C vs MPG … Fact or Fiction?
fredelkamp replied to Joe Lee's topic in AC, Heating, and Cooling
When we had our Ford V-10 gas motorhome we ran with the generator on all the time, that coach needed every bit of that extra horsepower to get up the hills. -
Thanks, you where close, I loosened the bolts on top of the rollers which lowered the doors about 1/4" so the hooks would easily fit in bottom track, but only the first one would stay in the track when I tightened up the bolts. I then noticed that the first roller "axle" was lower than the other three rollers Appears the axles are not centered and if it's lower the door is held up higher. So I took the other rollers off, turned them over and tightened them up while I held the bottom hooks in with my foot. Worked great, no more floppy door.

Thanks everyone, I went with the propane shutoff valve with a quick connect and the 3/8" Flare x 1/4" Male Pipe brass tube fitting to adapt it my fitting, we'll see when it all gets here if it all works.

What would I need to connect this Quick Connect Adapter to my copper pipe in the picture? A 3/8" Flare x 1/4" Male Pipe brass tube fitting? Anderson Metals 54048-0604 Brass Tube Fitting, Half-Union, 3/8" Flare x 1/4" Male Pipe

Thanks for all the great replies!

We recently had our Norcold 1210 converted to a 12 compressor, making available a capped off gas line that I think would be perfect for installing an aux gas connection to use on our Blackstone griddle. Would this work, has anyone done this and what kind of hardware will I need?

Does anyone know how to reattach the lower shower door brackets? mine have slowly come off and now none of them are attached as you can see in the pictures.
