Well, the next question is how it got disonnected or for that matter, if it was ever connected to begin with. . Does that blue wire termination plug snap in and require pressing on some tabs to...

The blue wire provides field output to the alternator which it needs to provide suds. Looking at the regulator with the LED indicators on top, this wire should be connected to to the top vertically...

It's a real plus, particularly with a 1600ah battery bank. What does your documentation show for model year and chassis year?

I think MB offers two high idle options and RT is using the adjustable one. Although it's of most use in the lithium equipped coaches to help ward off the Voltstart/AC death spiral, I wouldn't be...

If you have it it looks like it's on the dashboard close to the driver door. It's displayed around 5:30 in the utube.

If you're recirculating air in a closed environment in which you are are living and breathing, while you may end up with less dust, how can you end up with less humidity?

You didn't do too badly. The silver surcharge on your CS is about 2k. The other CS colors run from about 5k to 8k. But color choices on the Simplicity and the Zion run only about 600 bucks.

That's an elegant color and IMO a lot better dealing with hot temps than the charcoal color I have. I wanted silver but was harassed into charcoal which always looks filthy even when its clean.:sad:

I think from the outset they have been around $2500 per 200ah module. The 400ah setup is now $4992 and the 800ah version is $8684 so there is some savings in the higher ah units. But it's a little...

As usual, you do an excellent job of peeling the onion. Thanks!

ARV will provide 1600ah if the customer demands it but ;they don't recommend it. I think they have only built one unit this way.
