Kurt,



I may be interested in your grill & slide. I need to check for
enough room to put it in one of my curb side bays though. Dimensions
are approx.?

Terry,







Here is the responce from Xantrex Customer Serive.







I did buy 2 of these units. They are new in the box and Sun Electric 



is an aurthorized dealer so the warrantie should be good.







I spoke with several tech guys and of course got several diffrent 



answers. About all aspects of these units.







I was most impressed with a guy from Buddy Gregg Motorhomes in 



Knoxville TN. Wayne Clapp a veteran BB Tech. His first question was 



did I plan on keeping the coach? Well of course. Then you must get 



these inverters out of the engine compartment and into one of the 



bays. So were are going the reinvent the wheel. Not really a problem 



the old compartment is really not large enough for the new inveters. 







With the inverter box empty I think I'll throw in a couple more 



Lifeline gell cells. That will make 8 house batts. Wayne also told me 



he can with the addition of a few relays make the AC run on Batts. 



With the additional 2 Lifeline's and the 2 new invetrers running off 



of 8 Batts. in 2, four Batt. banks I should be able to run 2 AC'S. 



The 300 amp alternator should be able to tow the line. I would be 



nice to run the roof air with out the generator. Any help in fuel 



economy is welcomed.







Any body want to buy a electric grill for their coach? Mine is coming 



out, slide and electric components included. 







I also bought 2 RC7/GS controlers off of e-bay. The were the best 



deal for the $'s.

Dear kurt daniel horvath, 







"Can the RC/GS Remote Panel be use in place of the RC7."







No , this will not work properly. You are better off trying to locate 



an RC7 by seaching the internet and the many dealers who may have a 



NOS unit.







"Is the 24 month warrantie good on these new in the box units?"







If the unit is new in the box and purchased from proper dealer who 



purchased it from a Xantrex Distributor than we shall honor the 



warranty.

Dear Mr.Nick Klien.







Can the RC/GS Remote Panel be use in place of the RC7.



If so, are there any peculiarities involed or is it just a simple 



choice of which control is available.



Yes price is a consideration here the old unites are new and are an 



exceptional deal at this time.







Thank You for your time,



Kurt Horvath
