Not sure why Entegra is telling you they don’t have a manual for the current coach? Like I said in our emails, they mailed one to me a couple weeks ago. Here’s a couple pictures from it.

40 amps on one leg and 3 on the other is absolutely nothing to worry about. The neutral will be carrying 37 amps in that situation. All wires will be within their rated capacity.
