[QUOTE=phorner;17745]Well, as daylight dawned, we found out some positive things. The generator will run all night without a hiccup. I now have learned how to place the generator in the "Auto Start" mode.
Come to find out, we did, in fact, trip a breaker that fed our power pedestal. There is only a single 50 amp receptical at the pedestal, and I was not able to determine if we had power there last night.
So, the "no AC power to the bus at all" problem was resolved. The staff here also acknowledged that they have been having power problems on site due to current construction. Everything ran fine all day with 3 airs running and all the routine electrical loads.
Seems also that the other reported problems were, indeed, related to low battery voltage, since there has been no re-occurance now that the batteries are fully charged and staying that way.
More good news.... the surround sound system is alive and well, the LCD HDTV is working beautifully and the beer in the fridge is ice cold.... things are definitely looking up!!
Tonight I'll "test drive" the Jenn Air electric grill with a couple of steaks and see how that works out.
Thanks so much for everyones input and recommendations. It really helped to know that I wasn't "alone" trying to deal with all the "challenges".
I'll keep ya posted and yeah, I know, post pictures....
NOW WE'RE HAVING FUN
It will all come together Paul, you'll look back at the last few days and laugh one day. Congratulations and enjoy that new bus!
