Tips and Tricks / house batteries and generator

« on: November 17, 2018, 03:51:39 pm »

 
We have two different issues with which we would appreciate advice and help:

After storing our PC2551 for the month of August, when we took it out to stay in during our evacuation last week, we were unable to start the generator, and the house batteries were dead.

My husband checked all the connections to the generator and added oil, but it still wouldn't start. The house batteries were stored with the switch in the 'store' position, but the light remains red when the button is changed to the 'use' position and none of the electricity works inside or out. Of course all of the electrical works when we are connected to shore power.

Can anyone suggest what else we can do? We have an appointment to take the machine in for a check mid-December, but we would like to get this fixed to be usable for some of the folks who are homeless right now due to the Camp Fire in Northern CA.

Thanks for your help,
Gail A

General Discussion / Tank Heater

« on: February 20, 2018, 07:25:36 am »

Hi, We are new PC owners and new to this Forum, so please repost this to a more appropriate board as necessary.

We bought our 2005 model 2551 in November. Tomorrow we are driving north where the weather will be in the low 20's overnight the four nights we are visiting our family.

We have never used tank heaters and there is nothing about them in the little manual that came with the Class B.

We are wondering if they have a thermostat somewhere?

Will they burn out if left on all night?

What is the correct way to use them?

Thanks for the help.

Hi,
We recently bought a 2005 2551 PC and have taken a few short trips. The PC is really fun to use!

We made reservations for the 2018 April 15-19 PC Rally at Pismo Becah that was on this board when we first logged in. I have not seen any mention of it since. Is this still happening? Where can I go to find more details?

Thanks for the help.
