    Pictures will be forthcoming Gil.
    Really busy right now but see the light at the end of the tunnel.

    The vanner was putting out 17+ volts with a 26.5 input. Beats me why. I take it that the 12v output gets connected to loads only and I really don't need 12v batteries. I had it connected to the positive 12v busbar. Oops.

    If I knew why this coach was set up like this I would tell you believe me. I guess the client wanted Royal to build it this way.

    It all works good with the 12 volt pack supplying all the 12 volt loads and the 24 volt running the Trace. The trace does run some electric heaters and the center cruisair.
    It will also be required to run the induction range and the existing norcold fridge once I get them on the right circuits. I could really use some help!

    I agree it would be nice to rely on the vanner instead of carting 4 12 volt batteries around.

    I like the idea of a residential fridge but there is none that would fit. The Novakool is 12/24 volt so I could feed it
    from the house 12v or the 24v agm northstars or the starting (chassis) batteries if needed.
    Plus it is an exact fit for the spot. I plan on installing some solar too. Did I mention we don't really plug in much.
    We prefer to find a nice spot in the desert or mountains with no one around and enjoy nature. Not something we
    have found in a rv park or resort. On our Airstream Landyacht we got along fine with 2 group 29 napa's and a 1000 watt magnum for the residential fridge. But then we had 500 watts of solar to keep food cold with.

    I get it that this is a whole new ballgame with the Prevost. And I admit I really do not know what I am doing.
    But I am learning thanks to this site and each problem I come across. Biggest problem right now is the horn nkt working an me knowing nothing about how to troubleshoot it. So if you can shed some light???
