I certainly did search, but there was really no info for the Neptune crew, I assumed it's had been done by someone. You guys are great, and I appreciate the info. It's wild to think all of us take time to help each other. The forums are an amazing place on the internetand this is a great one. I'm going to get the Lyght, and as much as I don't want to, Amazon is the easiest and cheapest store. Thanks again!

I know the switch works, I don't know if its possible to just replace the strips. I have some Noalox if I need it here. One of these is the Esco and is 400 plus and one is the Lyght....don't really see any spec difference mentioned.

That was fast! Appreciate your info. I did not see that one discussed, but it looks like a better fit with the placement of my conduits. I searched the site here and there was a post mentioning the Lyght Brand is the same as the ESCO and it seems like a well built component.

Hi guys, and Happy New Year! Been laying low with the coach laid up for winter. I have taken it on 2 60 mile loops since winterizing back in October to keep her loose. Today I went to plug the shore back in and decided to look at the transfer switch for no good reason, and it's burnt! Only one terminal set, but it obviously needs replacing. I've looked at it and pictures from the web to determine it's make, wondering if was an IOTA, but I don't see any ID, and the cover is blank. I havent come across any with the plastic terminal protectors so maybe just a cheapie from Indiana. At any rate, I guess I'm spending. I've read here and it seems the latest was to use the Southwire 40100? It seems available and affordable. Anyone with recent thoughts, go ahead.

I got the same email on Thanksgiving. Wonder if my account was hacked?

I have a box full

Well, these worked pretty good. Thanks for the tip. Only bummer is 1/4 20 takes a half inch hole....so there's the rub. I used stainless screws and fender washers to go with it, so if this won't hold, on to plan C.

Good idea! Looks like I'll have to drill the hole bigger, but I like the sealing mechanism. You also reminded me about Jack nuts , used to hold mirrors on truck doors back in the day.

Sailrite is a great resource..... https://www.sailrite.com/Awning-Sling-Chair-Spline-Cording-1-4

I didn't buy it, buts it's very good quality. Tag says its from here.... https://goldenhorizonrv.com/pricing/

Back after a while to tackle this. Got the exploding rivets, no good. Holes are a bit too big and it's hard to get them deep enough in the hole to get them to stay. I need some type of toggle anchor to remedy this, and I found some bullet style drywall anchor ls I'm willing to try. Otherwise, I'm gonna have to through bolt to the inside somehow and I really don't want to do that. I have these in hand? But am apprehensive. Don't know if I can squeeze a 1/4 rivet.

Real late to the party but......PO put one on. Looks great to me, and bugs come right off!

That's my kind of repair!

That's a lot of new Cummins parts! Hope you saved some money for fuel! Well done....I know how hard that is to work on.

Did the same thing last trip out. Couldn't figure it out, realized someone traveling with us in the group of 6 must have hit it going down the stairs! Interested to hear about the repair results on the ISB too!

I hope the brake light's don't come on with the exhaust brake switch on my Neptune. I did notice some grease on my trailer hubs after my 2800 mile trip. Is there a way to test this parked ?

Thanks for the replies. I have some 3/16 rivets here but can't get them to grab. I'll order some of the exploding style ans see what I can do. Thanks

While in SD last week, my Carefree awning rivets pulled through on the top of the rear track. The holes and rivets look as if they were only through the wood paneling and fiberglass. The holes in the coach look ok. I have done some searches here, and came up with a mention of exploding rivets? Surely someone has had this issue before. Another thought I had was some type of expanding anchor? Let me hear your thoughts!

Once I get a residential fridge, I'll be there with ya.

Took the Neptune all the way to SD for the rally towing 3 bikes. At a fuel stop I could hear and smell propane leaking. Turns out it was the female to female connector on the regulator to hose assembly. There is nothing holding the regulator in place, just a bent sheet metal foot for it to sit on. All of the bouncing over the last 50k must have done it it. I carry copper and flare tools but this one you can't make. A relief at 9 dollars and in stock at Lowes.

Carey, just wanted to say thanks for being one issue ahead of me on my Neptune! If this comes my way I'll be prepared. Between you, BradHend, and myself, we could build a Neptune/ Cayman from scratch!

I'm thinking you need to adjust the internals of the door. Sounds like you are only engaging the first stage of the latches. On the surface, it seems to be a difficult task to get right, but will only take a few hours. There is a great write up here.

Sturgis rally is next Friday so expect traffic near there.

Thanks. No spares, but couldn't help but think there should be something on those terminals. Just glad it wasn't a PO changearoo that I wasn't aware of. Thanks!
