Hi,


Today I found out that I cannot select AC on the refrigerator on our 2017 5.0TA. I can select DC (which seems to work fine) or propane but not AC. Currently, it is parked next to our house...

I just went through this. We've been otherwise busy remodeling a house and haven't had time to do any RVing, and just now got around to un-winterizing, so the fresh water tank and heater were dry. ...

Well, actually I am a bit unsure about the fuse size. The original fuse w/ the dual 6V batteries was 200 amp. Yes, the BMS is limited to 100A, but will allow up to 280 amps for 5 seconds. Also,...

Yes it's a 200 amp hour battery. I think the fuse was in that damaged state and was working because it is not totally blown. When attached and jiggled, the fuse sparks in the window. A magnifying...

Good idea and info - thanks. So I wonder if there is a breaker option that would also function as a battery isolator/shutoff as well?

Should have added that you should ensure that if you get on the roof you should spread your load out. A piece of 3/4" plywood with a moving blanket under it works well.

So is the thinking that it's better not to have the WFCO or PD controller try to manage the charge and possibly go to float too early, so it's actually better to rely on the battery's own BMS? Which...

Had the same issue and I think I posted a few pics about the repair. In short, you have to get on the roof and take off the cover to the AC. The motor bolts had come of and had to be re-attached.
