My Trombetta contacts (upon autopsy) were black with material that came off the housing. I found that a White Rodgers solenoid with a 15 volt coil and higher coil resistance with much lower dissipation of maybe 8 watts and still at 200 amp rating was much better suited to the application. Its a 586-10811-3. Ebay has it and Amazon as well. About same price and size as the Trombetta. It does recommend vertical mounting that was a litter different than the original Trombetta in my 2015 Tuscany coach. Easily changed.
i have looked on amazon and e bay but no luck finding a 586-10811-3 maybe looking in wrong place. how much is it?
