Don’t need the hose, but looks like you have a nice setup there sir. 👍

Get a stone and clean the commutator best you can. Get new brushes, seat them and put it back together, load test it. Call it good. Check brush wear pattern after. That one brush is pretty worn out for being replaced all at the same time. Might be worth throwing an amp meter on each of the mains during a normal day and see if you can balance the system out a bit by moving breakers around. That is if they were replaced in sets though.

I also noticed you said you changed your commutator brushes. Have a look to make sure they are making full contact with the comm and that the comm is in relatively good condition. Check slip rings too. Commutator should be a light chocolate brown color and not pitted or burned. There should not be any heavy sparking where the brush and commutator touch when it’s running. a little under heavy load is normal and unavoidable really. On the old motor/generator sets on elevators brush/commutator maintenance is extremely important. Lots of erratic behavior can happen pretty quick if those two items are overlooked. I’ve also found that new brushes either have no contour, or are not the correct contour, hence the importance of ensuring new brushes are seated properly.

Does that make sense in your situation? I would definitely shed some load and see if that stops the shut down. Otherwise could be a host of issues from minor to major unfortunately. Id be starting with the load shedding, taking some voltage measurements, checking every connection you can (while powered down), including the twist-locks.

Fuel Tank Level

It’s up there. Same boat as you, I just haven’t been able to access it without dropping the tank. Terrible location. Contemplated cutting in an access hole at one point. 😂 -
Beauty coach sir. Best of luck with the sale!

When you upgraded the coach lights to LED, did you have to switch around the wiring to make them work? I did. Have you taken any measures with a volt meter at your trailer plug? What I’m getting at is you might have your ground/light wires backwards as a result…polarity sensitive. Re-read your reply….missed that coach was still incandescent. Have you bench tested that strip light? If it’s a cheap Amazon one, they do some weird things and some you need that special adapter for signal/brake lights. Still curious what voltage readings you get at trailer plug for brake/signal/running.
