Big Boy, Bird, solenoid diagnosis and replacement
The video describes my 2008 Holiday Rambler BIRD circuitry, the Big Boy operation, and the diagnosis of the system. This is followed by the disassembly of the solenoid for viewers to understand the importance of replacing this part every 3 to 5 years. The Big Boy name is given to many solenoids used to combine battery banks.

Shoreline Reel Repair 2008 HR Endeavor

This is a short video on the repair of my intermittent shoreline reel, It is a 50 amp reel and sometimes just for a second one line would drop power. Chased the problem but could not duplicate. Transfer panel had been changed a couple of years earlier so was confident it was not that. Taking the reel out of the compartment made the repair rather straightforward. The repair could be done in two ...
Step Cover

The video shows the removed step cover for my 2008 HR Endeavor RV. It is a simple mechanism but has given me fits for years. After learning how to remove it I was able to diagnose it and document how it is built and where the wiring is and how the switches are wired. No relays used in this particular setup.

    Im having a problem that one of my legs in the connector plug has melted. At first i replaced the original monaco 50 amp male end. It seemed fine when i cut it open after installing a new one. Just this past weekend while in melbourne florida in 87 degree heat using all 3 a/c's all was good until i went to unplug from my watchdog surge protector the male end was stuck in the female end of the surge protector. only one prong overheated. It was the left slot that melted. Could this have happened from the reel? Did i have a bad connection at the pedestal?

    • @myrontruex4196

      The reel could not have been the culprit. Heat is produced when current passes through a resistance. The resistance is often the socket with just too many pits from folks plugging in and out without turning the breaker off. However, these plugs themselves need to be clean and shiny. I like to use a tiny bit of dielectric grease on them to make the insertion much easier. You should feel how the plug is being held in. As suggested on the RV forum where you asked the question, your plug pins can be twisted slightly to help make a tighter connection. Then as a PM you should feel the plug daily to insure you are not overheating them. That said, I have replaced my plug a few times. They get some serious abuse. We live in Central Florida and know the AC units need to be used 24/7. I do suggest while the AC's are not running that you run the reel cord in and out a few inches to exercise those contacts too.

      What model did you buy? My manual is about 250 pages long and there is plenty more to learn about these complex beast. There is a couple of forums that are incredibly helpful. I also have enough files to overflow a DVD that might be of help.

      Any RV requires constant upkeep. These things are houses riding along the wonderful highways of the US. Living on a constant eartquake would shake anything apart. Your comment is truly useless. You add no supporting information. Mine is 15 years old and has require attention to all roof line areas as all rv's do.

      If you are really tring to invert and the batteries are weak or low it will not work. Check your battery voltage.

    • @myrontruex4196
      @myrontruex4196 Рік тому

      Using the emergency start button. However that function is often broken because of a faulty solenoid. An easy test is to push the button with ignition key on, and then take a measurement on the starting batteries to see if the voltage is going up. If so, and you can get shoreline or run the generator, do that to allow the onboard charger to fill the weak batteries. I would run it at least 30 minutes. If you have to actually use a jumper cable, then make sure your house batteries are up to the proper voltage first. Then with one heavy duty jumper cable connect the positive post from the house batteries to the engine batteries. Let the engine batteries charge for 30 minutes this way. Then attempt your start with that cable still in place. This takes a quality jumper cable. Not the ten dollar ones at Harbor Freight. You must use caution and safety goggles throught this procedure. Weak batteries can offgas very explosive fumes and a tiny spark will ruing your day, Always have a garden hose of fire extinguisher nearby.

    • @myrontruex4196
      @myrontruex4196 Рік тому

      The jury is still out. I am not positive it did. But since we fulltime and the thing is connected 24/7 it gives me peace of mind knowing it is in great shape now and should last the lifetime of the RV. Thanks for watching. I hope the video helped in some way. It was not that hard to do. A couple of hours. And I did not have a video.

How do I get the LCD screen to work again.
