RV 3012 M

RV 3012 M

Thanks much Kurt. Sounds like you do have a few big projects
underway. I am going to buy one of the RV 3012 Ms & the RC7/GS
remote. Looks like a very good setup & you can't beat the cost for
the RV3012M.



I wonder if I could run one of my ACs on a single 3000 watt? I have
the 3 basement ACs. I only have 2 of the 4D batteries in the back now
to run the house & engine starting. I would need to beef up the
batteries but I can do that by stacking them into the space the
Rediline used to sit in plus build a new shelf above that space. Have
another gen set battery up front.

Terry,



Just to be sure I called Sun Electronics again to verify their status

as a Xanterx dealer and they confirmed that they are a Xantrex dealer.



I would like to get this all done in the next 2 to 3 weeks but if

Icould look into the future, you know what I mean.



I am still working on the engine bay cooling fans and I just got

a '07 DDEC IV ECM with it programing to my coach as a back-up. So

I've got a lot stuff to play with.
