Thanks Glen, that’s good news about the Cats. =D>
The rig does have dual exhaust, with these big O mufflers.
Sounds healthy, but quiet.
Today I got the LPG system working, turns out the gas monitor has to be engaged in order for it to flow.
So I got the stove working, but still have a few more challenges.
The converter has two 12V busses, one 12V going to lights and bits of business (which work).
But there’s a separate buss that also charges the house batteries. ( 0 volts).
Unfortunately this bus supplies the power to the water pump, furnace, and 12V to the fridge. I have 120 at the fridge, but I’m assuming with out some 12V for the internal circuit it’s not going to fire up.
The house batteries are totally gone, so I’m thinking that the charger has popped offline, and that a fresh set should make all those systems come up. Other than that the charger is blown, but nothing a few discrete devices won’t fix.
In case your wondering, I’m a telecom engineer with a prime discipline in -48 DC power and grounding.
I had a lively chat with a fellow engineer of one of our vendors for batteries.
We could shoe horn about 1K AH into the couch, but at 500Lbs, and resizing every main feed.
Plus as we say, what you take out, you need to put back in.
The 10A charger is not up to task, along with these are mostly made for stationary installation.
The plates probably wouldn't last long on bumpy roads and pot holes.
I’m looking at some spec for others, an interesting puzzle.
Interesting thing I found is this couch has two latching relays to take the couch and starting battery off line. Pretty cool for working on the system, and I like Bill’s set up for shunting the AMP meter.
This couch came with a sack full of documentation, literally the thickness of a telephone book.
I’ve just scratched the surface on what’s equipped.
Of course you'd have to be up for going as late as the party goes if you did that since it would be right on your doorstep!
