  1. Ok that’s interesting…

    if you shutdown your rig - flip your main isolation switch off - does the stuff coming off that panel still run?

    On my 2000 Dynasty the wire for the front Domestic hot fuse panel went through the salesman switch relay. 

  2. What year of rig do you have?

    in my 2000 Dynasty there is a continuous relay back in the rear electrical panel (connected to the salesman switch) that relay sends power to the front panel. That relay went bad,  Causing my fans to not work.
     

    Replaced the continuous relay in the back, and everything started working. 
     

    good luck!
     

  3. A post I read said,

    These rigs should come with fuel, boost and egt gauges, would make troubleshooting much easier.

    This is something I have been thinking about adding to my rig. I use VMSpec 4.0 to monitor my chassis computer.
     

    Boost - I have a Turbo Boost (same thing right?) This shows up as an analog gauge on my dash and also on my VMSpec. 
     

    Fuel Pressure: I am considering adding this kit:

    plus maybe a analog gauge back in the engine on top of the fuel filter. I like that kit because it matches my original gauges pretty close. 
     

    EGT (exhaust gas temp): what does this gauge do for me - why is it useful? How do you install it?  And where do I get it? ( I don’t think it was on the isspro list of gauges).
     

    Also how do these three gauges help me know what’s going right or wrong with the engine. 
     

    I am considering doing these when I add a FASS Pump. 

    My engine ISC350 built in 1999

    Thanks
     

  4. I have six 200watt solar panels and a 500ah of 12v lithium (self built battery).  If the sun is out - no need for the generator- if it gets cloudy for two days - the generator needed the exercise anyway. 
     

    The solar is awesome!  We prefer to boondock so that’s why we have that size of array. 

  5. I just installed the Fisher and Paykell - gotta say I LOVE IT! We mostly boondock.

    Make sure you have a great battery monitor- I use a Victron Smartshunt (or BMV712).  You need to know exactly what the state of your batteries are. 

    I also have 1200 watts of solar four 200watt panels (2s2p) into a Victron mppt 100/50. When we replaced the fridge, we replaced the 85w original solar panel and pwm controller with two more 200watt panels (in series) and a Victron mppt 100/30. 

    I replaced my inverter (when my inverter died) with a Victron Multiplus 12/3000. 
    I believe that would work well with four or six (or eight) 6v GC2’s. 
    i have added lithium batteries 540ah, that is really nice. I still have to run the generator if the solar is having bad day.
