Inverters
|
|
There are many inverters on the market for the Motor
Coach Industry: Hart Interface, Trace, Freedom, High
Surge, and many more. Through our research, we've found one of the leaders in
the industry with competitive pricing is Tripp-Lite and Xantrex. Both
catering to the Motor Coach industry needs. |

An inverter is an electronic instrument that will convert
12 V, 24 V, 36 V DC current into 120 V AC current usable by the average
household appliance. An average 1000 Watt inverter can price anywhere from
$200 - $1500. The choice you have to make is how accurately or true you
need a current.
A measurement of a current's accuracy is commonly referred to as a sine
wave. A sine wave is nothing more than a visual representation of the
electrical cycle. A phrase commonly called a true sine wave means that
inverter is exactly duplicating this electrical cycle. A modified sine
wave means that electrical cycle is not quite as accurate or as clean as
the aforementioned.

Unless you are running extremely sensitive instruments or
computer systems in your Coach you will not need a true sine wave inverter. Most of the time, if you're
only running a television, refrigerator, dishwasher, fan, lighting, and
other light-duty household appliances, a modified sine wave inverter will work just
fine.
If you plan on running a computer, simply run your computer through a
battery backup. This is what a battery backup is, a small inverter using a
battery to invert DC to AC for your laptop or desktop. |
 |
 |
An average inverter in the 1500 Watt area
can range
from as low as $500 all
the way to $2,300
or even more.
It all depends on your demand needs and budget range.

"By 1980, the advent of the personal computer had created a
need for battery backup AC power to prevent data loss or hardware damage to
computers and other sensitive microprocessor-controlled devices".
Tripp-Lite became the first company to manufacture a UPS system (inverter)
specifically designed for desktop PCs. |

Generators
 |
There are many size generators to choose from. Some do it yourself
bus conversion friends
have started with a lawnmower engine
connected to a small alternator and produce 3kW. Then they move to a
portable generator you can buy at Home Depot.
We've found over the years that a
generator in a motor home actually runs more than any portable or contractor's
generator. When you pick a power plant, you want to pick one that's designed
to run 24/7. The most efficient generator for an RV motor coach would be a diesel
generator. Diesel generators do cost a little
more up front, but the average one will last four times longer than those that
run on other fuels. We've tried them all, and the best system we've come up with is a company
in Connecticut that is famous for their durable marine diesel gensets. |
Modified A/C Systems
 
When looking at air conditioning units, one looks for the best amperage draw
compared with the best BTU value, as well as the amount of CFM volume that is
exchanged in a given space. It's been proven that the most efficient unit
amp/BTUs is a roof top A/C system. A well insulated roof top AC system dispersing
air from the top of your Motor Coach compartment is more efficient because the cooler air falls. However, this 8"-12" high box on the roof of a motor home or bus conversion is vulnerable to
low objects. Nothing's worse than visiting Grandma and leaving your air
conditioner in her driveway.
There are a lot of names out there: Coleman, Dometic, Duo-Therm, etc. We have found that one of the pioneers
in the commercial air
conditioning industry is Carrier. This company builds bus air conditioning
systems for most American made buses. Carrier recently within the last few years designed a fantastic roof
A/C system for Motor Home applications.
The best of both worlds is to have a rooftop unit slid to the back of the
bus, then lowered on a shelf just beneath the roof's surface, and then capped
with fiberglass. The Walker A/C system has done just that. With the
help of Carrier Engineering, we've co-designed a unit that doesn't blow down,
but blows forward. We simply install it on a shelf and have it blow directly
into an attic/duct-work system. We use three independent zoned and
thermostatically controlled units, a total of almost 5 tons. We've found this
is more than adequate for domestic use. A passenger bus uses 7
- 9 ton systems, but it also has all windows and 50 people to keep cool with less
insulation.

In-Motion Satellite Tracking
The premier in-motion satellite TV
antenna for use on North American and European roads
Whether you’re parked for the night or cruising down the highway, TracVision L3 will
bring you hundreds of channels of uninterrupted, crystal-clear digital
entertainment with CD-quality sound. With TracVision L3, getting there is
half the fun. |
With its integrated DVB
technology, the TracVision L3 is the most versatile and reliable in-motion
satellite TV system for people on the road. Ideal for RVs, trucks, and
motor coaches, the system automatically identifies, acquires and tracks
satellite signals from a range of DIRECTV® and DVB-compatible satellites,
without requiring a data connection to the receiver.
In addition, the TracVision L3 is fully compatible with KVH's TracNet™
Mobile Internet Server and exclusive high-speed Internet service. And
since all antenna components are housed in the rugged, impact-resistant
dome, the TracVision L3 is easy to install and maintain. |
Please note: We will be happy to sell you holding tanks, however this is a very light plastic box and quite often can be very expensive to
freight. We recommend you call your local farm supply store and ask them about their chemical tanks. These are tanks used by the farming industry to carry chemicals and other liquids. These are the exact same tanks that we have available. Please make sure they are for
potable use.
|
We've used many style holding tanks but the ones we have had the most success
with are made of polyethylene plastic. This type has rounded
corners and the ability to be strapped down easily. These type of tanks are used
heavily in the RV and agriculture industry and are designed to be mounted on
tractors, trucks and RV's, so they make great holding tanks.
|
The average sizes are:
150 gallon for your fresh water
100 gallon for gray water
40 gallon for your black water
|
 |
You will want to mount your draining systems so you can drain your gray water through the black tank after you have dumped it first; it makes a great rinse system. You also will want to have a way to drain the gray tank first if you need to.

One of the most critical parts of your
Coach plumbing system is the water pump. You want to make sure that you have a good reliable water pump/expansion tank/manifold system combination. We recommend visiting our online catalog to see the many examples of pumps and accessories that we offer.
