  1. I had the same problem on my 05 Beaver and it turned out to be a bad relay in the front bay under the drivers seat. The relay was clearly identified on the sticker on the door. After replacing the relay I have not had a problem since - and that was about 6 months and 6,000 miles ago.
  2. I know that Midstate Rv in Byron GA does a lot of paint including Bus work. They have a good reputation. I was going to get an RV done there but then bought my current one.Here is a link https://www.midstaterv.com/check-out-our--rv-body-shop-before-and-after
  3. Have managed to get to every other bay door by crawling through except Still haven't figured how to open front electrical bay door without making a hole for access. Any Ideas?
  4. Update on the problem. It appears as Ben said the actuators were in the locked position. I was able to go through the hole in the bottom of the electric bay where the AC cord for shore power comes out. Reaching up through there I was able to take of the backing plate to the lock and found the actuator frozen in the full lock position . I was able to bend the actuator rod enough to open the door and then removed the actuator and now the lock works fine with the key. I was able to access two other compartments that were also locked by Crawling through a couple of other compartments. Same story . Actuator frozen in the locked position - no 12 volt current present at the moment. I removed those actuators and disconnected the power on the three doors that were unlocked so now I am able to travel. Problem is the front electrical bay is locked and I have no access to get to the backside of the lock without cutting a hole in the floor!! Without access to the relays I can't fix anything. I have disconnected the key pad and probably will the remote module as well before leaving. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there another way to open the bay door lock with the actuator frozen in the locked position? put current to the frozen actuators but no response.
  5. Hi Ben: So do you think the best bet is to get the ones that are stuck shut and that I cant access from another bay will have to have the lock tumblers removed by a lock smith? I will then be able to open them and drive it but just not be able to lock them. I guess there are a few once I get one bay open I can crawl to from another bay and open them from the inside.
  6. I am at a beautiful spot in Carrabelle FL but scheduled to leave tomorrow. Last night we were eating and heard the door lock. Sure enough it locked itself and all of the bays. Each time i shut the door it locked itself even when I shut it gently. This morning it is not locking itself when I shut the door but only the key will unlock or lock front door and the bay doors will not unlock with the key. I have the ESSEX key pad and I replaced keypad about six months ago. This morning I went ahead unplugged it and reprogrammed the key pad and it makes all the right beeps according to manual but does not lock or unlock anything. Went to key fobs and when I press the buttons on the key fob I can hear and feel the click when I put my hand on the brain behind instrument panel but that signal is not activating the locks. Any ideas? Has anyone had something similar happen? Don't understand why the key wont open any of the bay doors. Cant even leave the site until I at least resolve bay doors unlocking because the electric cord and hose have to be put away
  7. Not sure where you are located but I am leaving Wednesday to get one of my windows done in Hudson Florida. Been going there for years . The name of the business is Suncoast designers and they have camping spots. You come in the night before they start at 7:00 a.m. and they usually have your window done by the end of the day using the same glass. Highly recommend them . Suncoastdesigners.com
  8. Will check for the blink code tomorrow Thanks Ivan ,good point. It does not sound like it was told to stop almost like an overload or slow shutdown and the Xantrex panel goes haywire. There are no fault or warning codes when I check the panel. I will also review manual when I check for a blink code in the morning.
  9. Thank you Ray just checked out that thread, New batteries and cables a few months ago and all has been fine. My problem was different than that in the thread My generator starts and runs with engine running but quits when transfer switch kicks in even with no load at all. yet works fine even when plugged into shore power. Seems to be some isolator or solenoid problem that is not working when engine is also charging.. I'm not up on this but willing to tackle it if I get some direction where to look.
  10. My Onan 8kw runs great and powers everything when coach is parked or even plugged in to a/c. , however if the engine is running it will start up but then die as soon as the transfer switch kicks in. Also dies if it is running and you start the engine. I am leaving on a month long trip on Monday and need to get it fixed ASAP. Anyone else had this problem or have an idea?
  11. Hi Joe, Yes I am going with my son. I will be parked in the area for generator usage from 6-11:00. 2005 Beaver Monterey with 3 slides, no tow car. We will have a 4 person golf cart if anyone needs a ride to and from the events.
  12. If it is a Carefree Awning there is a good chance that the rubber donut shaped part on each end of the roller is rotted or broken. It is called an Awning Tractioner. You can do a search online for this "Carefree 901067 Tractioner Kit". It has a tab that catches the awning and gives it a push to get it started moving outward. I have had to replace both of mine.
