Perfect Storm
Hi All,
When it rains, it pours! I went in for battery service and discovered that the 8 year old batteries (all 8 of them) were bulging and needed replacement. After the new batteries were installed, I asked the service group to check all functions to make sure my electrical systems were ok. Later that day, I got a call that my Xantrex RS 3000 inverter was dead. It was replaced with a Magnum 2800. As I went in to assess the installation progress (due for the Alpine SoCal Rally that day), a white Mercedes Sprinter pulled up and parked next to my coach. I watched in horror as the Sprinter customer reversed his passenger front end into the side of my coach. Cost--$2700 damage to my Alpine! Fortunately, their insurance covered the cost. We made it to the rally although I was a bit frazzled!
