Generator won't start

Hi Marv

How do you like the hurricane heat system and does it heat the bays? Is the big foot leveling system reliable?

Hi Wayne:

I like the M380 a lot. I have put 58,000 miles on it and have had minimal problems after we got the original issues ironed out. I think a lot of that was operator problems rather than coach problems. Like all computer stuff the coach wants things done in set sequence and if you deviate from the sequence it just won't work.

Our coach has two slide and both are working fine. In the flat lands we get about 8.5 mph and driving in the mountains it is about 1 mpg less. There are some good buys on M380s around. I don't think you would regret it. After the 82FCRB it was quite a change.

If you have any specific questions I would be glad to try to answer them for you.

If you have not run it in a couple of months it is likely that the battery is down. I would either put a battery charger on the generator battery or jump start it. Remember if using a charger it is
a Gel cell battery so use an appropriate charger.
