I think everyone would appreciate it if you signed your name and year of coach. Happily mine comes up automatically so I don't have to remember it.

Blue is SUCKING electricity our bill $386 a month To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Date: Saturday, November 7, 2009, 9:38 AM We had that issue with our 2000 LXI, at least we thought it was an issue. When we are hooked up to metered shore power, we switch off the 110 V "Hot Water Heater" breaker and turn on the Hydronic Heat switch on the dash. This reduces us from 150.00 to 200.00 per mo in electric to about 40.00 per mo in electric. Of course we're then burning diesel, but, not much.

We turned off the breaker for the upper flor. lights and that helped some. Then we turned off another breaker that was labled in large red letters, "SURGE"... there are two breakers with those red words on them. They do seem to be an issue here. But now... we also found that the battery charger breaker is pulling HUGE amounts of elec also. We can't leave it off or our batteries will be sucked dry. When those breakers are OFF... the meter runs normally... > > ANY IDEAS? We are working to get past owners help on this also, but haven't gotten to contact them yet. Someone used the RED marker to mark those breakers... so SOMEONE knows something or at least was aware of the problems... > > ANY IDEAS would be SO appreciated. The electric bill for 30 days was $386................ ouch!!!We can't keep affording that... sheesh... > > HELP... > > hugs, Light > ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
