No problem.

Got to Fort Sam Houston Travel Camp, pulled up in front of the office about 12:30 p.m. shut down and went inside to register. Went back out to go to our site and NOTHING. Engine would not even turn over, just a clicking sound even with the Boost batteries.

Hello, Cummins San Antonio, I have a problem. My evaluation was one of two things, a week starter solenoid or my batteries went belly up.

Cummins San Antonio was absolutely fantastic in dealing with. I don't know the last names, but Rachel, Joe and the gentleman that came to service us, Banyon, were wonderful. Banyon first put a voltage meter on the solenoid and when I tried cranking the engine it read 3 volts. Great indications of a bad battery, so when a cell goes dead - it's dead and no boost is going to get it to turn over since the voltage will not flow through a dead cell.

Two new 1000 Cranking Amp batteries later it turned right over and the alternator output was 14.16 volts. I finally got into our site and was completely hooked up by 4 p.m.

Interesting to note that all gauges lit up when the key was turned on but no juice to the starter. When I talked with freightliner he agreed that it was solenoid or batteries. He asked me to start the generator and with the generator running to push and hold the battery boost button for 3 minutes to see if I could get a charge on the service batteries. He stated that the generator would not charge the service batteries without the boost button depressed. I'm still perplexed at that one.

Many $$$$ later all is well and we went to dinner this evening at Sushihanna.

Dang I am so sorry Wayne.

Hunter took the inverter out of ours yesterday and we are shipping it out Friday for repair. Also buying another one so we will install which ever o e shows up first. He installed the new board for the fridge yesterday too and so now that seems to be running 100% when the inverter is in the coach and working. We know how you feel about the $$$$'s.

Hope you two have a great time with no more problems.

Sorry Wayne, luckily when my chases batteries went bad it was parked at a shop already thus the only pain was the $$. Sorry you had to eat raw bait.

We really enjoyed our time in Red Bay, AL! Toured the Tiffin plant. Met some great Tiffin owners at the RV park where we stayed. Got several things done on the coach. I have to say that any other place would've charged $1,000 or more for what we had done. Our bill? Only $296! We will definitely return to Red Bay for work on the coach in the future.

Sushi fixes many things....well all things. Maybe not physically but mentally.

Looking forward to no more problems. Thank you. By the way, has anyone told you what a fine job you did in organizing the Fredericksburg GC?

Shhhh! Not to loud. They seem to be stabilized 99%, now if I could just get the jack alarm to stop sounding when they are in the up position would be great. We have only had that problem since 2010. I just might take a trip to Lippert this coming spring an say, "Fix it!" For 3 years they work excellent. push the auto button and walk away. Push the all-up button and forget about it. Oh well!

Egg on the floor be better than egg on face. Sorry to hear Larry is so lazy. You were talking about him, right?

Hey, who is coming to our area this Winter to visit/stay?
