I can't wait to be released from "self-quarantine" and really try out the new battery system. I did spent one night at a nearby cross-country skiing parking lot at 10,000 ft in order to test the battery temperature control system with the 20F overnight forecast. System worked fine at maintaining 65F battery. Overnight use was only about 10% of battery capacity, including battery heating, gas furnace coach heating, TV, lights, and CPAP.
The TransWest RV shop in Grand Junction, with WBGO service telephone support, looked from 9:30 am until 4:30 pm for the tank heating relay. I suspect they also worked on other vehicles during this time. But they finally found the relay under the shower, and one of the leads not connected! This is yet another issue of poor quality control from the WBGO factory found on my rig. They charged me $96 for their day-long effort. Great guys!
Not to change the subject, but I tanked up for the 100 mile drive back home. I think the attached is a sign from God to just keep on driving!
