We go by you on our way to our place in Lake Havasu City!

I just bought some from Amazon. Size: 3 Watts-BA15S

Bypassed mine, no more problems.

I went with the C-Low tank. It came with a low coolant sensor. There are two system vents on the top that connect to the old 1/4" hoses. The low coolant sensor connects to the old low level wire and the other end to ground.

That D+ is just from the chassis battery side of the charging system. The DC to DC just regulates the amp draw from the alternator so it doesn’t overheat. I had one of those on my fifth wheel before I got my coach. Now I’m using a Victron DC to DC to charge my lithium batteries as I drive. You can connect it anywhere as long as the wire size is able to handle the amperage on either side of your charger. Also I believe the renogey has a charging trigger wire so that it only charges while the engine is running. The Victron is auto sensing.

parts.bunkhouse.com has them for $95, and it looks like Moen. #6016

Try resetting the chassis power to clear the internal code by disconnecting the battery. If it comes back then maybe an issue that needs professional attention.

Well after reading this and trying figure out a replacement plan it looks like I’ll be getting two new penguins. My reversing valve is stuck and I’ve replaced the solenoid with no joy. My question is where is the best place to purchase them? I have 2-13.5k btu heat pumps and want to get the 15k btu penguin II heat pumps to replace them. I realize I will have to replace the thermostat too. Prices are all over the place and I’m worried if I find a cheap outlet I might be getting returns or seconds.

I bought mine from the local interstate battery distributor. It's been about two years ago so my guess is the price has gone up. I think I paid $250

Ray, I’m like Jim and use a mobile hotspot. Mine is an iPad on Verizon. It works well enough to stream just about anywhere but there have been a few places l Had to use the parks WiFi with limited success. Most parks are ok during the week but on the weekends it’s to slow and buffers. I mostly watch YouTube but I have YouTube TV for live sports, it’s just as bad as cable 100 channels and nothing on. The good thing about it is you can cancel it any time if it doesn’t work out. I have T-Moble at both of my houses, works great at one not so much at the other ($50/mo each). My cell phone is with ATT so I have options but it’s limited on data. My iPad is for work and on an unlimited plan so I’m lucky in that respect for now until I retire.

John, they get TV from the internet and put it on your TV. You have to have an internet source or provider from the park or you phone. The stream bar also has speakers built into it. Hence stream + Sound bar= stream bar. Go to Roku.com

Hi John, I have two Roku stream bars. One is in the front of the coach mounted under the Samsung TV. Also have one in the bedroom. We stream everything.

Sounds like a loose ground.

Thanks Ted, I’ll call them tomorrow.

Rick, I'm having an issue with mine as well. Essex makes the entry systems about a mile from me. I contacted them and they refereed me to a distributor. I may just pay them a visit. Mine got wet during the recent storms and was beeping continuously. I had to unplug the key pad to make it stop. Removing the fuses and reinstalling them did nothing for me either. Bad news is they are about $300, can't find just the keypad. Anyone have a better option?

Bradd and Hall can do it or can sell you parts to do it. https://www.braddandhall.com/productcart/pc/AutoMotionShade-RV-Roller-Shades-59p1301.htm

Brad check out https://www.explorist.life/. He builds van systems and puts the DC to DC charger in lots of different places inside the camper/van. He has all kinds of calculators and wire diagrams too. He also has a YouTube channel that has helped a lot. I am lucky and have the outside electrical bay where my DC to DC is located.

Take them back to interstate and have them check them. If they are bad they should swap them out if they are still under warranty.

Pacific North, Manufacturer of Tooling and Outdoor Products DP203.-Red DP-263-Red Dual Pane Window Latch was 633 ) $29.00 each $6.00 shipping $35.00 This was two years ago.

I just use my phone. Frankly the system works so well I don’t even check it that much anymore. The solar and the lithium batteries are game changers. I also have a auto generator start but it’s never come on while boondocking. Mark

I ordered mine from https://www.eztopsworldwide.com/ they are made to order. Came out perfect. Made from LEXAN. Mark

Power tide laundry detergent. Sprinkle some in the spill area and let it set. Then brush it with a push broom. It may take a couple of applications over a few days.

The Xantrex Automatic Generator Start - 809-0915 replaced the built in unit of my old RV2012. It was a direct replacement for the existing system. It works over the Xanbus network and has multiple I/O and starts and stops my Onan 7500. It is programed and controlled using the Xantrex Xanbus System Control Panel (SCP) Freedom SW3012 - 809-0921. I just mounted it under my transfer switch because that's where the wires to the generator were located. Not sure if that helps with your issue with the Victron.

Zantrex Freedom SW3012, mounted inside behind the cord real and water heater. My solar controller, transfer switch and auto gen start are in there too. I would do some things differently if I had to do it again. I would have used a Victron multi plus II (not out yet when I installed) and maybe cheaper batteries, even though I got the Battleborn on sale. I also have 700 watts of solar and a residential refrigerator. It's been worth the upgrades IMO.

Bjohnsonmn here is how my charger and battery lay out came out. 400 amphrs in the lower tray.
