General Discussion / Re: Macenator / water pump fuse location

Update - as others have suggested the impeller blades were jammed. Could not see much or any blockage but upon turning the blades the unit is working again. At least for my model I needed to drop the screws around the plexiglass access window to access the impeller. Thanks all for the inputs.

Confirmed power to switch with meter.   Jumpered switch and no joy so the pump is either stuck or failed. No humming noise. The pump is apparently inside a grey box with what appears to be a circular plexiglass access hole. Gonna dig into tomorrow -  what a crappy job:)

Since both the water pump switch located on the sewer panel and the macenator are both out I will look for the connections. The black and great tank motors are both operational.

Thanks

Larry - they were the bolts that connected to the side of the slide out (below microwave). We had a good 2 inches of separation at the bottom. The drawers would not close due to misalignment.  Kind of surprising as the overall build quality has been very good

Found a guy in. Vermontville NY that got me sorted.  The original bolts / screws broke - not very hefty and I assume the roads in Kentucky did me in:)

Neither the macenator or water pump is getting power from the outside panel. Water pump is working so I assume I have a bad fuse. Can anyone telll me whre it is located on a 2015 2910d?  I have read it is powered from the chassis vs fuse panel
  Thanks jerry

Our 2015 2910D has been a beast. Super reliable. That said the roads in Kentucky have loosened the cabinets mounted below the stove top and causing separation from the side of the slide out. We just completed our trek from Texas to upstate NY and I want to secure before heading back. Anyone else have this issue and can offer any input before I start?

Mike - I agree the only issue is space. I have  a 2910d same as Dave so I suspect I can accommodate the swap if I go with progressive. Will call parallax tomorrow and check out that option.

I do appreciate all the input. It’s very helpful

Best

So  progressive tech support told me that don’t make a replacement and I would need a new panel.

That makes zero sense - ii have a 55 amp converter - I just need to make sure I have enough clearance. I may upgrade to AGM batteries next time but don’t go off grid enough to justify lithium.  Made through the weekend ok - just kept my 12 volt demand down and we were fine for 3 days

Thanks all for the feedback. I was think about using my shop vac to get all the water left below the drain plug but the turkey Baster is a good idea. Kinda think I am just going to stick with gas for now. It’s faster and we are not in the camper for long extended periods. I am not sure even if I fabricate access - it would still be somewhat offset and I am not certain I would even have room to pull the element.

Lance - thanks for the offer, but if I am gonna swap I think I will upgrade. I will look at the WFCO unit as well as Progressive. I like the idea of future battery comparability. Best JB

Really appreciate the quick replies- I have been thinking about going with the progressive smart converter charger. I assume I can replace the bottom half of the Parrallax unit (converter portion) and reuse the dc board and fuses?   I will break out my meter and check connections and voltage as suggested when I return home. The external vehicle charger is not an elegant solution but will get me by in a pinch just to keep the batteries topped off

Thank you both - I suspect battery box is ok as it will charge from both from MH chassis and my external charger across the two 6v batteries. Like I said headed with grandkids - so I am bringing my vehicle charger along in case I loose charge. When I get home I will have some more time to trouble shoot:)

I suspect batteries will hold up for a couple of days - as I have them close to fully charged and have a 3 hour drive to top them off.

I don’t believe the Existing converter is smart and had been thinking of replacing. I have the parallax (sp) unit which appears to have the 12v fuses mounted to front of converter below the ac distribution and breakers

Lots of good information on the forum as this has been a popular topic.

Apparently my converter is shot as I can charge my batteries when underway but when connected to shore power the batteries are draining and not charging. I discovered this just as I am leaving to take my grandkids to the Texas historical train - polar express ride this weekend.
Circuit breakers are good - 12v fuses are fine so with a charged battery everything is operational.

I figure I will upgrade to the progressive 45a converter for my 2015 PC 2910d but in the mean time I am bringing my vehicle charger along to keep the batteries charged if we drop too low after the drive and we set up.

Any other advice?  Seems like you always discover this stuff at the least opportune time. BTW neither shore power or generator is charging - only when driving (separate circuit)

My inverter is seldom used but working, but also shows low battery unless I use my external charger.

Thanks JB

Unfortunately the water heater is below our closet and to the right of our shower with only a small access panel for the heater by-pass.

I hate to cut into the inside of the coach but may be the best long term solution if I want to be able to replace the heating element. Bad design to not make the element accessible from outside IMO
