  1. Bill, Mt comment was for the following Dometic Penguin II RV Air Conditioner - without any heat source 15K 640316CXX1J0 - Black Dometic Thermostats 3314082.011 CCC 2 - White Dometic Electronic Control Kit 3312020.000 Soft Starter SpartanStart RV A/C Soft Starter up to 20K BTU I purchased the Brisk Air but found out it does not match the existing Penguin II bolt pattern.
  2. The Blizzard has 4 bolts that do not align with the existing Penguin bolt pattern and is several inches taller. Make sure to get both the CCC-2 controller and thermostat, some people try to convert the older electrics, but my installer never got it to work correctly. Neither unit comes with a control board, but some folks claim they do. Check ahead of time to make sure.
  3. Thank you , thank you, thank you. Thanks for all the input and suggestions. Turns out a cube was jammed in the tray.
  4. 2003 Dynasty - The tray fills up with water buy the ice tray fails to cycle and dump. Can I remove it and run some type of diagnostics on it? Worked great for years and just stopped.
  5. I replaced mine with a Sharp R-1881LSY exact fit and amp rating.
  6. Rocketman3 You peaked my interest. I have a Magnum Energy charger/inverter, do you know if I can add Victron components to my system to automatically control shore power when needed?
  7. I have 1600 watts of flat mounted solar on the roof powering a 600 AH battery bank. I have an Aqua Hot unit so heating and hot water is not electric and our refrigerator is 120 AC. I'm parked 6 months in Arizona, I mostly run off battery power and only connect to shore power every 2-3 nights or when air conditioning is seldom needed. I use a 3,000 Watt Magnum Energy charger/inverter but need to check into the Victron units that have the "assist" feature. We generate an average of 6 KWH daily and see a 25% to 30% reduction in our power bill. This set up will handle all the high amp devices (one at a time) even for extended periods, even 1 one of the 1.5kw AC units for about an hour.
  8. 2003 Dynasty One the best upgrades I have made was to replace the 12-volt awning motor and the roof top wind sensor and computer with a motion sensor. The original system was glitchy, rolling in when not necessary and failing to retract when needed. This system is a direct replacement and is a plug and play commonly used on residential and commercial buildings and uses the existing remote.

  9. Mark, the batteries are wired in parallel producing 12 Volt (Approx.) as show in this diagram.
  10. 2 FOIIOE VESTWOODS 12V 300Ah with 200A BMS Plus and Ultra (Don't know the difference) 1,600 Watt solar array using a magnum 3,00 watts Charger/Inverter set to factory Lifpo default setting. I charged the batteries to 100% each before combining them, then used the inverter/charge and topped them off. Powered up the starship yesterday afternoon and everything appears to be working. I shut down the 50-amp connection and went to battery power for the night. I ran the heater all last night, boiled coffee this morning and now have lights and computers running. Batteries were at 32% SOC and 62% respectively. Is it normal for one battery to have a lower SOC or do I need to cycle the system for several days to equalize them. Battery Current readings: Total of 600 Amp Hours Battery 1 13.3 Volts 11.30 Amps 33% SOC Battery 2 13.4 Volts 12.30 Amps 63% SOC Voltage stays the same Amp vary from 11 to 13 SOC is increasing on both. Charger Readings: Total of 1600 Watts (Overcast day) PV 655 Watts 36.63 Volts 18.1Amps (increase as noon approaches) Batteries 13.95 Volts (Increasing) 44.7 Amps Bulk Charging Both batteries are charging at about the same SOC rate increase but have drastically different SOCs.
  11. Mine is a 03 Dynasty but 2001 -2005 Dynasty, Executive and Signature should work. Don't need the electrical components just the enclosure. Size is 20" x 15.5" Any sugestions?
  12. That was it. Rain entered by the soft touch buttons, Thanks for the solution.
  13. After heavy rains last night, I awoke to a buzzer that sounded like the low-pressure warning. I isolated the sound to a thin wire harness and buzzer below the passenger's armrest exiting the wall and disconnected it. That stopped the buzzing and but also cut the power to the entry keypad. All other AC/DC circuits are live with no fuses blown and all lights fans, slides and appliances are working. I thought it was low pressure but fired up the engine and pressurized the tanks and that wasn't the problem. Turned off the 50-amp power at the pedestal and went to inverter power and the buzzer still sounded. The photo shows the small black cylindrical buzzer and the disconnected harness. The wires to the buzzer are red and black. Photo shows the alarm and disconnected harness. Could this be the air tank pressure warning? Things to take into consideration Ignition is off, all circuits and fuses are good, all dash, house and arm rest switches are working.
  14. Keep in mind that some LEDs are polarity sensitive and will not light if reversed.
  15. I have a 2003 Dynasty - As a primary test for continuity, test the other dock side lights (white) flip on the Dock Lights top row 3rd switch from the left on the left-hand dash panel. This should turn on all 4 white side lights (2 on each side) to make sure you are getting power. It's a different circuit but let's see if you are getting power to some of the side lights. Secondly, with the headlights or parking lights the front and rear red marker lights should be illuminated and flash intermittently with directionals and emergency flasher engaged, and the middle amber lights should be on as well as the overhead 4 front amber lights and 4 red rear lights and license plate lights, and not flash. This should help troubleshooting with your multimeter. Some of us use LED's that are polarity sensitive and will not light. If you still are having a problem, make sure your RV to tow vehicle pigtail is disconnected as there might be a short there or the toad wiring harness. Just some suggestions learned the hard way.
