Was probably just trying to do to much but while I was using 2 a/c's, the washing machine, the Advantium on speedcook, one of the stove burners, 3 tv's and a bunch of lights - my wife plugged in the steam iron and we lost power to a bunch of stuff. We are plugged into 50 amp at a pretty good cg, and when I looked at the panel, it indicated I had plenty of volts available. In a few seconds, things started to come back on - tv's and stove, and power came back to the advantium. Still had plenty of a/c volts indicated so I turned all the things I was using back on after I turned offall the air conditioners. Lost those previously mentioned units again, and when I looked at the panel again, it indicated that the Inverter was on and the Charger was off. I can't seem to get the charger to go on again and to work instead of the inverter. Can someone give me some tips - not too technical please.

Thanks.

King

Thanks gentlemen - and ladies too! After a large search, I found the circuit breaker on the battery charger/inverter and I reset it and all is well here.

Mornin' King,
Nappanee for a few weeks! What are you getting done?
We'll miss the balloon fiesta this year. Are you and Cathy going?

Hi Paul:

Nice to hear from you. Hope the KADB delivery is still on schedule. Hope to connect with you in Oct but we will only be in the ABQ area (should be a great place to be an "Amigo") for the first week. We'll be at Sante Fe Skies with Overman's train group before leaving for the Grand Canyon and points west.

Hi to Jill.

King

Hi John:

Nice to hear from you too. We'll be in Nappanee to get a bunch of little things fixed - it's our first trip back to the factory since we picked this rig up last Dec. While the rig is there, Cathy and I are flying to Sitka, Alaska, for a week of fishing with friends. The nice folks in Nappanee will look after our coach while we are gone, and the extra time there should allow them to be more flexible in scheduling other units in and out of service.

We will be in Santa Fe for the first week of Oct, but at this point do not have specific plans to attend the opening weekend of the Balloon Fiesta. We will likely however go down to that area to visit other folks we know that are attending - like Paul and Jill, and their new KADB.

Hope you will enjoy your new EXDP. When are you and Carole picking it up?

Safe travels,

King

Glad to read that it didn't take you long to resolve your problem. Now if it should happen to me, I will know one of the first things to check.

King,
Sounds like you two are as busy as usual having fun.
We opted for Leisure Tyme local delivery. It's #800862. I talked to Ken Williamson today and it's going through the "cut-&-buff" process today and will be ready next week. Maybe you'll see it there. It's the only '09, so far anyway, with a modified fade type Bordeaux paint and a special design on the front.

King -

All you really need power for is that big honkin' juicer/blender gizmo you've got. One of those "health" drinks a day should keep a little guy like you going for 24 hrs - don't use any other appliances.

Hope you're both doing well. Eager to see you in FL in a few months.

Joe & Lisa

Hi John:

Our '08 EXDP, #800804, also has a modified Bordeaux paint scheme. We added some of the light tan color that is in the upper part to the bottom of the sides. We think it looks good and have had a lot of compliments on it. I have tried several times to get a picture of it as an avatar but I can't get rid of the part of a picture that is there and haven't figured out how to substitute a picture for that one. I'll try again when I get some time to play with it. Hope you enjoy your new coach as much as we have ours.
________________________________________________

Hi Joe, you are correct, one of those health drinks a day pretty much cures all ones ails. Hope all is well with you and Lisa - we too are looking forward to seeing you both in Jan, in FL. Guess we'll miss you at Camp Newmar - our rig is there now and we will be back to pick it up on 8/21. We might be there on the 10th for a day but can't remember when you are going to be there.

All the best.

King and Cathy
