Something else to look for is the solenoids on the 6 packs can leak internally. I've taken mine apart and cleaned and made sure the flat rubber seal inside isn't deformed to where it won't seal. And of course, it could be something like a leaking airline or fitting between the valves and the bags. Chasing slow air leaks can be very frustrating.

Richard, I'm curious about your location, You say you are close to RV Glass, which I think is in Oregon, but your signature says you are in Florida. Do they have another location down there? I live in W. Washington and have been thinking about going to Coburg to have windshield work done. Greg

I'm a little confused. This is quoted from the post you linked to: "Daniël Boekel (Victron Energy Staff) answered · Oct 20 2022 at 7:17 AM BEST ANSWERACCEPTED ANSWER Hi @jpcirig For lithium batteries you should see the 'float' stage as a 'not discharging' stage: An lfp battery has a resting voltage of about 13.2-13.4 volt, by setting 'float' voltage to that level, if there is power use (for example in a boat or RV: lights, DC equipment, alarm), this power will come from the charger (if the load is not bigger than the charger can supply) So: the battery is not really charging in the 'float' stage and won't damage the batteries." I've read of many users that are charging with lead-acid profiles. Seems like the majority say it just won't top off the battery as quickly as a Li-ion charger would.

Can I ask why you replaced the Xantrex? Do you know if the same issues apply to charging lithium with the Xantrex as the Magnum?

FYI, I bought the LiTime 400ah 12 volt battery. One nice thing about it is it has a max discharge rate of 250 amps so one battery can do the work of two. You can run a 2000 watt inverter off one battery and have no extra cables. I mounted mine in the rear closet right over the rear run bay so it would not be susceptible to freezing temps. I think it was about $1400 on Amazon. Still on the bubble about using a dc-dc charger or just running it off the BigBoy.

I've seen a few comments on eliminating the BIRD function of the BigBoy, but wanting to keep the boost to charge the chassis batteries. I saw this question at the bottom of this post in the Tech section. Any thoughts?

What did you use for a remote temp sensor? Are you still running without the dc-dc charger?

Something to consider is the anerobic sealant I've used is basically permanent. It's like red Loctite.

Our air ride and leveling is a complicated system of solenoid valves, air bags, air-lines and connectors which works great until it doesn't. An experienced tech should be able to track it down. It's likely in one of the six-packs which can be replaced or rebuilt. I've heard of a number of cases of mud daubers making homes of the exhaust ports on those valve blocks. I screwed in some silencers on mine which made the system quieter for those camped next to me and prevented the little buggers from making trouble.

Mike, I always amazed at the people that are ready to criticize how someone like you did it. I'm equally amazed that I didn't get any criticism of how I did my rear suspension repair myself. Probably just don't have enough followers for anyone to take me seriously. Anyway good to see you on this site. Take care. Greg

Jim, Could you expand on this? Where did you find the gaps to fill?

Not official, but most of the ads and postings I've seen on other sites point to it being on a Freightliner chassis. The VIN decoder should nail that down.

Thanks for the confirmation. Helps me figure out the logic on their circuit. I can never leave well enough alone. I'm hoping to make it double throw, Momentary On-OFF-ON. I've been staring at schematics for a few days trying to figure out how to do it. That way I could just tap it on the arm rest to engage for a pulse or flip it to on to leave it on. I always feel like I'm fumbling around trying to find the floor switch. I was on the Carling site https://www.carlingtech.com/rocker-switches-v-series-ii-iii. It's amazing how many varieties they have and the selection of custom covers. You can even order custom text. I think I bought my last one at mouser.com.

Guys, I have a question of one of you that has the armrest switch. I have a '04 Panther that came with only the foot switch, but the wiring and hole is there for an armrest switch. I'm assuming it's a single throw switch with just an OFF-On Function, but I'd like to confirm that. I'm trying to get a part number of that rocker switch and can't configure it until I know. Thanks, Greg

Thanks for the clarification. I ended up buying a series 1700 keypad from A-1. Hopefully I won't have anything else to report about this!
