Red,

I'm not a Vantare guy so I cannot answer your questions but I have two suggestions. First, include your signature line with your coach type and model year. That helps others zero in on your specific configuration and improves the answers. Second, if at all possible come to the Austin rally. There is no better place on earth to learn about your coach than at a gathering of owners and experts.

Welcome aboard Red, hopefully someone with a Vantare will jump in here and help with your questions. If not, we'll just make something up.

Red - welcome to POG! It's great to have another Vantare owner in the group! On our '96 Vantare XLV, there are two large black rocker switches (one for each inverter) in the inverter bay that we have to switch each time we change from shore power to generator power. I'm jealous that yours are inside because mine are a little hard to get to in the bay! Do you have just one switch? If I'm wrong, perhaps Ben Cummings will chime in and correct me. Ben is a Vantare expert who is now with Coach Worx. Ben would be the guy to ask about your other issues, too!

Welcome red I am new here also and a Vantare Owner Woot Woot !!
I cant answer your inverter question my is Auto in the 2000yr , twin 4000 watt I belive, they are pretty interesting the more I learn,
I can even set the shore line amp draw, Any way I found out after several doors and drawers were opening on the road the latches with the hook come in different lb I think 5 10 and 20 I bought all 20,
My big glass doors and large closets even the batroom door uses them I replaced them all and everything is solid now, And my little wife gets a workout just trying to get them open
