For an ACE...

Don't know which coach you have, but for my ACE I need my engine running for my Lippert LCI levelers to work. I need the engine off for my slide to work. Levelers are very sensitive to battery status; if you have weak batteries they will not work. Generator could be battery issue as well, or a slew of other things. Are you getting any error codes?

You have to really prime the heck out of these generators. I prime mine for a slow count of 50 and try to start it and then prime it for a count of 20 before it will attempt to start. You also need well above 12v in your house batteries to start. If not, run your engine, up the voltage and try again.

Thank you for the replies. It is hott out (96) , but I checked the 50 amp fuse in the battery compartment and it had blown . Know why ? Both leveling and gen worked . I have been in 2 forums (A/S and Thor) and Thor is the best .
