Well guys,
I finally got around to removing the Onan voltage regulator leads so that
my Truecharge 40+ works correctly all the time when using the Onan as a
source. (turning on any DC light in the coach compensated for the Onan's
winpy charger and allowed it to work just fine). Truecharge works great.
But in the process I discovered that some of the terminals on the Onan are
corroding at the interface line between the spade connector and air. I.E.
there is corrosion at the end of the spade. I had one wire to remove from
the regulator. Grabbed it gently and started to pull with a very slight
side-to-side rocking motion. With NO pressure and just one move to the side
I was left holding the lead in my ahnd - with a broken terminal. The
terminal separated at the voltage regulator. I looked cloely at the
remaining terminals and decided not to touch them. I guess it isn't
surprising, but I thought that I'd warn folks on this one.
Also, my fridge pictures didn't turn out well enough to use, so that update
will be done later this week.
I did put up pictures of the Ramco mirrors that I installed. One picture of
a fit problem and a warning. You can see it at www.henry-davis.com/GMC/
