Power Tech 15KW Motor & Blower

[Leroy Eckert]

Hey, taking the kids to Rock City, the TN Aquarium and throwing then in the KOA pool. Might even take them to see Chattanooga Choo Choo. I had to heat up the bus before winter. Pulled through the two lane mountain roads with the wife's Grand Cherokee on the trailer. A slow go, 15-35 mph stuff, some steep grades. I think mileage is down. BB did great. One other thing. Ran upon a terrible accident in the mountains, coming down hill on a blind curve at 55 grabbing massive amounts of brakes, scary, got her stopped, then had to turn around and reverse direction in a limited area with the trailer, trashed my mud flap but had a much better day that the poor folks in the accident. Sad for them and their family.

That was before I new about a forum or soon after I found it. I purchased the whole thing from BB at about $225 as I recall. Since I have read that Grainger and other places may have the system cheaper. > Leroy Eckert > 1990 WB-40 Smoke N Mirrors > Dahlonega, GA > On WiFi in Chattanooga, TN > > --- On Fri, 8/29/08, Gregg Kizer wrote: > From: Gregg Kizer > Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Power Tech 15KW Motor & Blower > To: "WanderlodgeForum%40yahoogroups.com" > Date: Friday, August 29, 2008, 12:05 AM > > > > > > > > > > > > Has any one replaced their Power Tech 15KW Motor & Blower Assembly and > > what Part Numbers and source were your findings.

Kurt I did add a file to the system, and thank you for the help.

When the window opens on the right side down a few inches you'll see add file, click on it. That will open to File name. hit the browse button then choose what file you want to upload, for example you could place the info in a word file. You can add a description, and notify the group if you wish. The number from Graingers, "3M957 1/3 HP 230 V" has been discontinued. It has some cross refrenced motors, so I would make a note of that.
