Armchair Mechanics Opinion

Took my coach up to Newmar for first ever service Appointment. Made some adjustments on rear slide, replaced a couple windows, Replaced original house batteries with AGM and removed all batteries and cleaned and repainted tray. Drove back up to pick it up, hooked up my car, started coach engine and idled SO rough I had to shut it down. Started up again, pressed on throttle, nothing, no increase in RPM's. Got service out to campground, Diagnostic showed active code on VGT turbo brake. The coach Has run FLAWLESSLY since I brought it home from Florida to Cincinnati. Newmar could not do anymore, had to get Cummins to come.That was last Thursday at 1:30 PM. Today, Newmar did put call into Cummins, no show and don't know when they will come. Have to call Devon Miller first thing tomorrow. I had to leave coach in the campground. My thinking and Cummins Cincinnati kinda agrees that disconnecting the coach batteries did something to the electrical signal. I don't know but I am not a happy camper right now. Any ideas out there? It has to be something simple.

Hi wracinti,
They may have left the chassis batteries connected and live. There are many "back" circuits in a coach. I've had them break things on my coach. They admit nothing. Like it or not, just press on with the fix and rip the rear view mirror our of your view.
