Hi Jonathan, I had a great experience at Hymer/Roadtrek. I'm going to put up a video tomorrow sometime about my experience. I did the factory tour but unfortunately they did not allow photography. Quite a place though, and excellent customer service!
Looking forward to your next video. Very curious how the underhood generator keeps the battery fully charged with the AC going strong for hours on end.
Hey Dennis, I was in the front lobby at about 4pm down the street at Bingemans for the night. I'll be at RT at 8 am! Just me, Sue's back in NH. Hopefully I'll catch up with you! Bob
Dennis, thanks for the welcome in the lobby, great to meet you... I felt like I had a friend on the production floor!! What a great place you work at, is it as cool as it seems!?!
Check the grounding wire on the battery separator. very easy check its on the underside under the engine on driver side. it didn't appear it ever got plugged in.. it kept the the coach battery from charging off the engine...simply plugged it back in and we were good to go..
Thanks, it turned out to be a blown 10 amp fuse in the Balmer unit. Could have happened during my cold weather attempts to get the batteries going. It's working now, even though the dealer could not solve it, had to go to the Hymer service center in Ontario
I wonder if you could order a Sunlight directly from the factory? This would be particularly interesting if you wanted to custom order i.e. get one with or without a particular appliance.
I think you can, during the factory tour they mentioned doing custom work for customers... but then again I'm not sure if the order still has to go through the dealer. Bypassing the dealer for ordering a unit seems it would not set well with the dealers.
Dealers are not helpful ? I wonder what people who buy in California do . It's a much further drive to Kitchener from here . We anxiously await your outcome .
I didn't know they bought Thor, However, they did buy Roadtrek, and looks like they're pouring some capital into building an additional second plant in the Toronto area
Hi - I’ve been following your trials and tribulations from the beginning. My bet is that the problem will be with the Balmer regulator. And on a “It’s a small world” note, when you stated on an earlier video that you were coming to Colorado, I thought about contacting you to see if you would be close by so I could meet you. Of course, I never did. I live in Longmont! Let me know when you visit your sister again and maybe I can meet you and see your van.
Mark, you hit it on the noggin' with your assessment! Yup, we've been to the Firehpuse for lunch/dinner a few times! That slow bike evening ride in Longmont looks like a blast too

Good luck at Erwin Hymer. Looking forward to your video at the factory

Best of luck! Thanks for the update.
I'm so excited to meet the both of you.

It was my pleasure and you did have a friend. Hopefully we can meet again and not just to repair your coach. Cheers my friend
Same here, hopefully our next time to Ontario will be more a pleasure trip! I do have your contact info.... Bob

IYO What does the Hymer buy out of Thor mean?

How did you know the underhood generator was not working?
