450 20KW Generator
Subject: Generator
Hi all I had lost AC power from the generator at the Quartzsite rally and yesterday I took the coach to Temecula Valley RV in Southern Ca.. They diagnosed the regulator board bad. Gen only has 480 hours on it. I would not expect this scenario from a powertech gen. Almost a $700 bill. Awaiting the shipping of the board. I wonder if the recall move had anything to do with this. One will never know, as CCW would not take the coach in for service as they can no longer work on them. Don't know why. Bluebird Coachworks should have all the build prints for our coaches and I would like to find a way to get hold of these. Any ideas how? These are very important now and we should use all power to retrieve them. Any more 450 owners out there? Dan Sunderland 2005 450 LXi San Marcos, CA |

Dan,
Is the regulator mounted w/in the soundproof enclosure with the diesel generator? (I believe it is). I seem to recall someone mentioning that they weren't too pleased with the genny airflow post recall. You may want to check the Powertech manual installation instructions to see if sufficient air flow was provided. Excessive heat could be the cause of failure. (Lots of speculation on my part).

I'd certainly take this up with PowerTech to see if there is a warranty that they will honor.
