Great comments….my summary and thoughts…and also a comment or two since there have been a Whole LOT of posts and ingenious folks over the years.

First.  Original Windsors, and presumably, the Dynasty, had a Dual IN, Dual OUT setup.  That provides a Sub-panel where the GFCI(s) were..  The issue of the original Norcold or a Res Refer plagued a lot ot folks.  Many just said “OK….forget NEC….I’m removing the blankety blank GFCI “ .including one of our esteemed founders and a superb Engineer.  We Moderators will label or edit posts where that is a recommendation as it violates electrical safety and common sense.

Second ….there were probably creativity awards for “let’s see how confusing or how UNINFORMATIVE” we can make this model’s prints.  I can hang with most of them.  The Camelot, maybe because I have used them, is the simplest.  In case one has never delved into “How do I find and figure out a circuit” on a later Dynasty, it takes a mind with more “power” than mine….and we have folks here so gifted.  The lack of a line print…where you go to an index….look up the “gee what is this” item….then get a print number.  Then find, in the Harness section, the harness(s) and then look at both a male and female drawing and select the pin(s) you need…then imagine how they are connected and do a mental “picture” and then start to troubleshoot…using up to 3 prints…and NOT on a single print gives me a headache… BUT, there are many Dynasty prints that I can now locate and use….some of the earlier lower ends had a “cross” of both.  

FWIW.  There was, I was, told by “JIM” the elder tech support,  that there was a huge rivalry or perhaps “lack of communication” and each thought that their electrical group was superior.  NO “CONSOLIDATED” engineering organization….so each group had total control and the electrical…which was a big issue and fights had almost broken out at the water cooler.  Maybe a bit of embellishment, but NO CENTRAL or common format.

Third.  HOW the OP finally does it?  Ideally, the simple (to me…feel free to flame….nicely…LOL). Install a J-Box upstream of the inverter.  Split the feed there.  Use split bolt connectors properly insulated per NEC (there is a method outlined many places).  Run one 30A feed to the Inverter….so, it works as before.  Run the second or a parallel feed to either a J-Box…or if really OCD, a subpanel with a 20 A single breaker.  Then pull the Microwave or “Line 2” out of the inverter and attach there.  Same power usage.  No real change to diversity of the Inverter’s circuits..  then, YES, one has to have Genny or have AC power to the main for the microwave to work.  I would, as I did, put a 15 A cube surge suppressor on the outlet above the microwave where it is plugged in.

All here, seem to be  cognizant of the issues with GCFI and defrost coils or icemaker heaters….so, while tracing circuits, determine the best way to get a “LINE” not a “LOAD” direct feed to the Icemaker outlet and NOT through a GFCI.

i have 2003 Camelot looking for electrical diagrams as well as plumbing. would like to convert over to solar and my inverter does not allow for solar, recommendations for 3000 to 4000 watt unit. also residential fridge, update microwave and switch to induction cook top.

Just spent a couple of weeks on the island!

One in Vic, one in Parksville. Watched the fire near Port Alberni grow larger each day!

Why they don't hit these fires hard while they are small is beyond me!

Ironic the largest water bombers ever built used to park on a lake, probably less than 10mi from that fire.

I am in Grand Forks B.C

Had same problem, i used metal butterfly drywall anchors and butyle tape holding solid and no water leakage into inner wall. just cut the bolts shorter to make sure you do not puncture inner wall

I recently had to replace the AquaHot AHE-100-01S tank in my 2002 Dynasty.  The copper fresh water coils had developed a leak.  I had noticed a small amount of water collecting in the service bay for some time.  Eventually the leak increased and I had to turn off the water pump when water was not needed as it would cycle continuously to maintain pressure and a puddle formed below the AquaHot.

I owe a tremendous amount of thanks to Vito Adragna for all of his help with this project.  He patiently answered my emails and text messages.  Without his help I would have been lost.  I also want to thank John and Hanna Carrillo from HeatMyRV.com for their help and the replacement tank.  John is busy but he did return calls and text messages when I needed him.  Fortunately for us replacement tanks are available.

I could not find any instructions on this procedure, so I have attached my notes and photos so that it might help someone else.  Use at your own risk!  

The filling and pressurizing procedures are different from the manual with the new non-pressurized tank.  It worked quite well.  Took me about 16 gallons to fill the system.

thank you for these helps me out greatly

Wow That is nothing, when we had to move due to flooding my front tires were three feet in the air so an inch and a half is nothing. Yes the backs were on the ground but at least coach was level. Back now at original pad and all 4 tires are back on ground

haveing issue taking the cover off my 100-01s in my 2003 camelot, Help Please as i think i got all rivets out, are there rivets at the very back of the unit. Yes i have a water leak.

they moved me back to where i started, spot is level and just need to put jacks down enough to touch my blocks. Now we find out how firm the ground is as i have had to dig out a couple blocks in the past

awesome video thank you, need to do this to my 2003 Camelot. You made it look so easy

thnx never heard of tedco, was a frieght delivery man for greyhound, will look tedco up, big thnx for info

thank you for the input, going to do it today

Anyone know of a dealer on the West Coast of Canada. want to get rid of the 2003 100-01s unit in my Monaco Camelot

Oh !!!! Thank you so much. My Unit was built in Coburg Oregon. will do as you say been frustrated for a couple years now, and i am in Canada so any help is good help as the nearest dealer is in Ontario and i am in British Columbia west coast of canada

Fire away, Carl.  A lot of the components, features and wiring are similar or the same as other coach models.  

EDIT.  You have asked two questions.  I have "stricken through" the bottom one and edited the Title to address the Aquahot question....so that is now the topic.  Please post another topic and keep just one issue to each topic.  Use the same format or similar that I did to the edited title.

have aqua hot system, have fresh water leak, from the burner unit, clear water not boiler fluid what could be the problem. and secondly the awening arm beside the door, is loose as the bolts have pulled out any recommendations on reattaching the arm

Tne 2003 was a funky year.  There are no “Monaco Online Owners Manuals”.  I believe….and others will correct or verify…LOL….that Monaco badged the Camelots and the Windsor’s the same that year.  The wiring diagrams are the same.  There has been chatter about knowing exactly “where” some of those coaches were made….Oregon or Indiana….as the “general” construction was the same, but there were some differences, perhaps, in the components..

i do NOT believe there was a 2002 Camelot  Then, there may have been some chassis changes to comingle the two name plates.  I don’t know exactly when the Scepter came out, but the Scepter and Camelot were or are twins…

OK….here’s some googling to do.  Google Holiday Rambler Owners Manuals.  The 2003 Scepter is there.  Download and do a quick comparison ito your manual.  The  HR site also has the Sales Brochures.  That is a valuable tool.  Download.  Then Google Monaco Motor Home Owners Manuals. You will not find a 2003…but there IS a 2003 Camelot Sales Brochure.  Compare the two….2003 Camelot to Scepter.  If they are the same…as i think they will be….BINGO.

Then….download the 2003 Winsdor Sales Brochure.  Same?  Probably.  Look for identical copy in the end as they describe the features by each area.  Then look at the Camelot and Scepter.

If i am correct….then that nails it and you can watch what is posted for the other models.  Pay attention to the description of the chassis and suspension and the walls and floor and roof details.

Hope this helps…

 

any ideas on how to reattach the over the door awening arm as it has pulled out of the body

I have 2003 Camelot and not finding much in the way of items pertaining this model of coach. I need help with a couple issues

EDIT.....have copied the Aquahot from the followup post and added it below.  This is now an Aquahot issue and not "general information
