I got home last night from the dealer. I arrived there on Tuesday night and they hooked me up to power and cable. So I entertained myself with sci fi movies and beer.

Wednesday morning they pulled me in at 8am and started working. It was clear that this was going to be a long job by 1pm. The dealer put two techs on the projects (Brian and Jason) and they worked at a good pace. They checked in with me for things like where the install was going to be and if that was ok and such things. They custom made a steal bracket to hold the inverter and vented the storage area they put it in.

At the end of the day they hooked me up to power and electric again and I stayed the night. Thursday morning at 8am they pulled me in and started working again. They used all the proper sized cable and custom made each. This includes the battery cables. They took care of all my warrenty issues and mounted the inverter control panel right were I asked them to.

The techs let me watch and ask questions and such. Everyone there was very nice and helpful. One of the owners was an electrician for 29 years and he gave advice to me an explained how things were wired up and why. I have a back ground with electronic and wiring myself and it was clear to me that noone there was trying to BS me.

All went well and I have a professional installation. Everything works and I am very happy, well except for the bill...ouch. The labor was expensive but worth it. It was clear to me that I would might have been able to do it myself but I know that I would have probably used lighter cables and would not have ended up with such a fine installation. So over all I am very happy with everything.

By the way the dealership has a cafe called the Gulf Stream Cafe and the food is fantastic. I ate all my meals there and enjoyed it very much.

When I got the bill for all the work I was shown the hours billed and all the parts and everything was explained. I watched the work being done so I know it was right. All the parts prices were as quoted to me over the phone.

I highly recommend this dealer for service. They have a wifi system and I was able to surf the net in the waiting area. That was a big plus too.

After all that was done they washed my coach and vacumed it while I was going over the bill with the service manager. I thought that was very nice of them and I appreciated it.

I now have 4 group 27 12v batteries with a water supply system and a RS 3000 3000w inverter with monitor panel. I also got all my warrenty issues taken care of. While none of the issues were very disabiling they were taken care of without question.

We will retest everything this weekend on our camping trip and I am sure it will all work as designed.

Thanks for reading. If you have any questions about my experience please feel free to ask. Happy Camping.
