RE: Power issues 2018 AmericanCoach MidwestPatriot

Yes, all problems solved and everything turned over to the new owner with full explanation about turning off the inverter when not using TV, microwave, or cooktop. That was helpful and I wish I had known that when I purchased it.
It was weird they tested the old battery and said it was good. They also said that the inverter was set to wet instead of AGM. But I know it had been on AGM at some point. Ah well, all is well now.
I loved that vehicle but it was so fancy it made me nervous about anything happening to it and my husband had zero buy in. Biggest impulse purchase I ever made! Didn’t lose money on it, so it’s a win win. We had a great 9 months with it and took a fabulous family trip up the East Coast. No regrets. And now there is Outdoorsy to rent som awesome RVs.
Thanks again for your help!

RE: Power issues 2018 AmericanCoach MidwestPatriot

I’m sorry to frustrate you to the extreme, Doug. I did spend $1700 replacing the battery. It took time to find the battery because you encouraged me to get lifeline and I did hunt it down. They had to go through a third party to find the lifeline battery and I had to pay for it before it was installed. When they took the other battery down they said it was actually still good. Oh well.
I am selling the vehicle tomorrow though and after running the inverter with the TV for over an hour and boiling some water my issue is solved. I’m happy for the new owner. Thanks again for you help and sorry to cause you trouble.
