Today has started bright and cooler and promises to be a great day for a holiday!
Since the last blog post, there's been more attempts at fixing our A/C Power Control System (PCS) problem with no success. A new plan of attack was tried yesterday which led to a possible solution with some new parts to be ordered to "convert" the Air Conditioning to use a thermostat from a different vendor. The original design of the coach uses devices from at least 5 different manufacturers to control the power distribution and some of the loads on the system. These all have to communicate with each other over a data network and changes to any one component could require options to be set, or even new software requirements, in other components.
Yesterday the timer that was installed to prevent the A/C compressor from starting back up abruptly after shut down was removed since it did not function as expected. Since the timer was removed the A/C is exhibiting yet another wrong condition - it now seems to not even be under the control of the PCS. The differences have been documented and sent to the service manager who is handling the repairs.
We will make our trip to Swannanoa on Sunday, return here on July 13 and see what develops at that time.
Over the last week, we both felt the effects of a stomach virus, so that put each of us off our feet at different times, but we're both fine now and thankful to be so.
When Little House in not in the shop, we're enjoying computer time, ham radio and life in general. The campground started filling up yesterday in advance of the holiday weekend. The dealership is closed today, and on limited service tomorrow, so most of the campers here are recreational.
The weather has been hot, with rain and thunderstorms almost daily. However, there is no rain in the forecast for today. Today is "free fishing" day in NC (no license required) so Hank may walk over to the river and wet a line.
Happy Independence Day to all!
