Jim, Can We assume you replaced your frig and its not operating correctly? I was thinking of upgrading mine as I have a broken door shelf and it aggravates me to look at it. However, if there are issues with replacing them with new appliances I might be happier with a broken shelf.

Yes Jimbo tell us about the refrig that doesn't like NJ electricity

[JIM KELLER]

Aside from not liking NJ electricity, my refrig is working fine. I was referring to newer model appliances that don't like older model inverters. Then again since I messed up the math on the power management post I might not know what I'm talking about on this one. Come on Ben, help me out here !

RD, is that new power ready for campers yet ?

Jim is correct. There are some appliances that don't like the modified sine wave produced from MSW inverters. Also, most motors will run hotter on thr MSW. On other RV forums there are frequent discussions on residential refrigerators and statements from manufacturers stating their non-support to MSW use. Digital circuitry itself isn't the problem. The problem is that nothing is made like it once was. Yesteryears products generally had much broader tolerances.

Jim are we changing your inverters out anytime soon?

[JIM KELLER]

Gil, lets do some projects on your Bus first. We can remove the bathroom fixtures, walls, plumbing and electric. Next would be the floors and sub floors. At this point I'm sure we could access that hose reel in order to replace the hose. After Larry sees this I'm sure he would hire us to do his. Next we could remove the Cargo Bay Doors on the left side to search for the allusive side light problem.

Let me know when you want to start.

Patrick....we replaced ours with a new 24" cabinet depth from Sears... more expensive than regular size but fit in the space perfectly... easy change out... the one thing that I am glad I did was to plug it into a heavy duty appliance extension cord and attach it to the top of the refrigerator so if I need to power it up with outside power for any reason I can... just thought it was the perfect time to do that... we leave the frig on all the time... we were told it isn't good to turn them off. I don't see a problem changing to a new one. Let us know if you do it. I got the midnight color that looks black with the double doors on top and the big drawer in the bottom... ice and water in door.. around $2K if I remember correctly... well worth it as our old one was shot... the change out was about 3 hrs max. Good luck. QUOTE=pwf252;88386]Jim, Can We assume you replaced your frig and its not operating correctly?

All done! As we speak the squatters from California are here! Buster and Jean Simmons are here using the new 50 amp service. Its hot and humid so the new serviced will come in handy!

Jim, too late. The bathroom is fully gutted and I can see the hose reel. Wouldn't you know it, the fasteners for the hose reel ar pointing at the opposite of the coach. After all of that all I had to do was drop the fuel tank and crawl up in that cavity to access the hose reel.

I may need help getting the bathroom reinstalled before the rally. Come on over.

Man this is Funny !
