Re: 94 serengeti headlamps...

' Yea, installed self-resetting breakers on low and hi beam circuits. I replaced that headlight switch with the same type that Safari had used, however in retrospect, I can see that it really wasn't necessary. I could have gone with a standard switch. Piece of cake.

Re: 1998 sarengeti shore power cord trips gfci when plugged in.

' Interesting. The closest outlet to my coach when I plug it into 'shore power' here at my house is a 20a outdoor GFI on my front porch, and it's never tripped the GFI. I use a 20 ext cord and adapter pigtail for the coach cable....GFI outlets do go bad...one I had go bad last year was one out by my...

Re: 94 serengeti headlamps...

' Oh hell yes...I had a helluva time driving after night (and discovered why my dad never drove the coach after night unless he absolutely had to) going thru Atlanta. I had less than 10v at the headlights! With the help of John and Jim, I was able to install relays that were NOT installed at the fac...

Re: 94 serengeti headlamps...

' I see a lot of talk about headlight replacement. I get same talk on my Isuzu, Suzuki, and Genesis and GMC forums. Some things need to be considered, and the first and foremost that there are NOT that many "led" or "HiD" bulbs that are actually, truly "dot certified". ...

Re: Adding Load Resisters when using LED bulbs

' The solution is a "no-brainer".?? You get a flasher that handles LEDs bulbs. Then can be purchased at http://www.superbrightleds.com . Much better solution than adding resistors and works great even if you go back to incandescent bulbs. LEDs are great except in blizzards and ice/snow sto...

' Yes, I too went into some detail on my Serengeti when I replaced this small item on the tranny a while back. I only lost, maybe a cup of fluid when I replaced it.

Re: Battery cable suggestion

' I also had issues BEHIND the battery tray - thise 'odd looking connectors'...I had two that were missing covers, so I ordered new connectors from Digikey or Mouser Electronics. I believe they are "GM" connectors, and I posted a photo of them last year. I had one occasion prior to fixing ...

Re: Basic SMC wire diagram (batteries/solar/isolator/inverter)

' ...and it would be good to note that, as we all have probably discovered, that SMC/Safari employees who did the wiring and built the harnesses did not always stick to the schematic color code!
