Just returned from a 4,026 mile road trip through 13 states. Van performed quite well and averaged 15.6 mpg spending $908.30 on gas. Occasionally the ACC would be temporarily disabled, no clue as to why. One time in slow traffic the ACC lost track of the car in front of us and started to accelerate into them. This happened one time before on the drive back home from Airstream of Greensboro, also in slow traffic....
Also charger is not charging house battery even though it’s plugged in. Tapping on it seemed to work… for now. Land of Memories Park in Mankato, MN
Inverter would not turn on after driving all day and arriving at campsite. Very frustrating. Some train horn noise at Land of Memories Park, but only medium distance.
So does the A/C come on when it’s set to 15A shore power or not? Because it did for several days and now it doesn’t. I had to switch to the 20A setting for the A/C to come on again today.
So today the van is on shore power and the A/C is running but the house battery is not charging and the microwave is not on. It says the inverter is “off” when it should be “passthru.” I tap the inverter button and the inverter turns on and starts drawing power from the battery and the microwave comes on. All while the A/C keeps running. This makes sense since the A/C is controlled by the Firefly but is not powered through the inverter....
Another Amazon order today, this time only one item, a long(er) USB-A to USB-C charge cable. Package 1 Belkin USB-C to USB-A 2M cable This Review of the Airstream Rangeline by Lynda is right on. - I totally agree with the electrical issues being frustrating. My inverter sometimes just stops working. It’s like Airstream didn’t do any testing at all. This a completely unacceptable way to make a product. - Note: It has 200 Watts of power, not 200 Amps....
Bethany from Airstream sent this guide to check the inverter settings How to Change Inverter Settings.pdf All of my settings look correct but I can’t seem to change/save them even if they weren’t. I should note that I have a great pair of pliers-wrench that are the best I’ve ever used. They have come in handy working on the van. They’re a bit pricey but function much better than other pliers....
I’m noticing that the inverter shuts off every so often and I can’t get it to come back on. Watching this Facebook post to see if replacing the 9-pin Soul SeeLevel module with a 7-pin module will fix it? Installed curtain track and a curtain. Considering installing the other one somewhere between the galley and the bath for a little changing area, but not sure about where to put the track....
The skillet makes pretty good fried eggs. 🙂 Or maybe I do and the skillet is a decent tool. Here is a helpful video to fix the issue of the house battery not charging when the engine is on: I only have one bit of information to add: make sure there is a tight physical connection between the wires. Electrical tape will not hold over time (even though I also used it as a temporary fix)....
Extra cup holders Melvin from Firefly called and verified that the other coach was fixed by replacing the generator bridge. Firefly will be shipping me a new G12, LCD, and gen bridge.
