  1. Dr. I will try to locate the name and description of the detector.I have been away or iwould have icluded it. It also finds tire leaks well Found it. Inficon ultrasonic leak detector. 283$ there are cheaper and more expensive ones.this one has worked f9r us.
  2. I have an electronic”sniffer” device that detects leaks as small a 1 psi. It has come in very useful to locate and eliminate leaks. I have seen it detect air leaks I cannot hear by just walking g around the rv slowly. also has detected leaks soapy water did I not. I do not like some liquid leak detectors because they corrode brass fittings. saves a lot of trouble shooting if I go to a shop.
  3. I have owned numerous aircraft and all of them cost less to own than my motorhome!
  4. I always do all water demandthru the pump. Sooner or later many systems will develop a leak. If on pump you will notice the pump cycle without having drawn any water. If on city water you notice it when something becomes soaked or flooded. Ever rv I have ever had of 6 developed a slow leak in there life . if you install a variable Speed pump as aquajet 55 ,you will have good flow and a pump that speeds up with each additional faucet you open .
  5. The soft rivots are likely aluminum . Using aluminum as a pivot point is probably not a good Choice There are also steel and stainless steel rivots available.. I have used them. The harder the rivot the more of the wear develops in the hole which in time can be more difficult to complete a repair. Have to descide which is acceptable to you and your application.
  6. Unless you are in a very low load demand situation . NO. My motorhome uses between 60 to 80watts to power the dc control circuits which run all the time. So in mountain dry camping on a sunny day two 100watt panels will keep the system charged. panels help keep my auto genstart from starting .I can use the inverter for larger ac loads but then the gen may start to pick the load up as batteries voltage decreases. To get enough solar to offset your energy cost you are going to have to invest in a larger panel array and likely lithium batteries with new controllers. Everyone situation is unique. I have put solar on a motorhome and pickup camper. For me it is mainly to keep the batteries up when not in use and no shore power available. Have a friend with an all electric prevost. He has 2 4000 watt inverters and eight 8d batteries . He can run a lot but still cannot recover with any solar panel array.
  7. Most generally the grey tank has more capacity than the black.
  8. If the black and grey are same height and width ,it should work .
  9. Backtrack lines to the coolers and their purpose will be obvious. Then see if corresponds to previous posters observation. Because several are not in agreement. You may be able to find the leak by running the ac to build pressure. Shut ac off and quickly spray leak detector on suspect area while you still have pressure in the system. Don’t addany internal leak finder as it can cause subsequent problems. This method usually works but not always. However it is quick and simple.. yours is likely r134 which runs at higher pressure than r 12 did ,so that aids in finding the bubbles. I am not a fan of Leak stop and won’t use it. your condenser appears to be very accessible .if the system is not cooling it might make sense to replace condenser at this time. Good luck let’s us know what you find
  10. the solution to op question was a simple “yes” ……
  11. Iido70, replaced inverter exactly as your pictures. Wiring is identical. The two blue wires are hour meter b+and return. I installed the xantrex xanbus ags on my sw3012. The blue wires had to be connected to the ags harness for gen run signal. On the rv2012 ags the blues were just crimped together. Once again what new inverter you have. Does it have ags? Looks like we are all headed in the same direction. It will be something very simple. Hopefully.
  12. do you have auto gen start with the old oinverter. What model did you remove and what did you replace it with? on mine the bedroom switch,dash and switch tie in at the ags connections at the inverter. The common ground is there a.long with the run ,start , stop and hour meter wires. Will the gen start on any switches? Mine,may be different. I now know how mine is to be wired but after installing a new xantrex sw 3012 my gen would not start using switch by driver. Cummins coach care lay down a anew conductor and all worked. I was then able to install my xantrex ags myself. don’t rule out trying a new switch in the bedroom. Or shut down all dc power and continuity check the switch. A totally open failed switch may be isolated there. You could also Power dc and check for voltages. this would be an easy place to start. Start simple.
  13. From manual” When traveling the water pump on the engine, circulates heated engine coolant throughthe Aquahot .through convection the heat transfers to the Aqua coolant, providing hot water and interior heating. use the comfort control to operate the heat exchangers”. Page 173. Ahe 100-4s.. maybe some are different. Evo. I am with you👌
  14. Going down the road how are you going to power your heat pumps.? You would have to run the generator I think. With all aquahot switches for diesel and electric off. I will always arrive with hot water in the aquahot. A friends Prevost does the same thing. I don’t see anywhere to do different. I cannot stop the engine from heating the aquahot.The engine coolantpump on mine will circulate coolant whenever the engine is running. An aquahot tech told me the engine will make way more heat going down the road than the diesel burner can. going have to investigate.
