The journey begins - purchased a truck.

ICT sleeper repairs.

Back door being problematic - linkage bending alleviated issue for now, but probably need entire assembly - pretty worn.

 

So we have a problem with the inverter/charger.
It's a Magnum MM1212. Over current fault.

No inverted 12-115V, and no 115-12V battery tending.

Hard reset , 12V in disconnected, 115V output disconnected, fault still present.

Contacted Magnum Seattle, they have a MO based sales and service, the CFO has advised ordering a new one - both boards run $600, new one runs $750.

May order new one, send in failed one and wait on diagnosis before installing new one, keep repaired spare as backup if economically viable.

Important unit - powers TV, charges devices, and tends batteries on command from gen-set presets. Auto switches between truck batteries and genset.

Anybody have experience with this particular unit?

 

Certainly not @Old Man figures, but happy so far with $2.20 all miles for the year so far.

First year $1.70, 2nd year, $1.90, 3rd year $2.15?

Progress - I'm pondering @sawmill and his RGN progression.

 

Inside loading and unloading - kinda nice.

 

A frugal mindset has both assisted and detracted from my life @CaptainDaveG - it's almost a curse.
