Bike Dr,

That is the same Xantrex model that my coach came with, but it was mounted up front in the first bay on the driver's side in front of the front wheel. It ran on the 4 each 6 volt golf cart size batteries that were mounted up under the windshield just ahead of the diesel generator. The Xantrex charger feature only was applied to the 4 cart batteries (which also provided cranking to the diesel generator) and a separate 80 amp converter under the bed was used to charge the house batteries...

Gulf Stream used lots of configurations over the years and models...

By the way, I am always amazed by the rear axle overhang of the gas coaches...does yours bottom out on driveways at times? My diesel pusher had a 288 inch wheelbase and still had enough rear overhang to cause concern.
