I was thinking of mounting my external voltage regulator in the sub panel behind the main panel. My only concern is accessibility to the regulator in the mounted position, without having to be a contortionist to gain access to the sub panel once all is completed. I'd be interested to hear from anyone (and see pictures) who has devised a 'drop down' mounting panel which can provide easy access. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated please. Warm regards Patrick South Australia ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 02:29:18 AM PST US Subject: Re: RV10-List: Mounting External Plane Power Voltage Regulator From: Bob Leffler I put the voltage regulator for my backup alternator behind the sub panel. I ran out of room to mount it on the main panel. I've had to get behind the sub panel for other reasons several times. Once you take the stick out, it isn't too bad getting back there.

The choice is to shim it (with washers per Vans) or lay in a layer or two of glass on the flange before installing the window. The excess depth is about 3/16" (about a three washer stack would be needed). Suggestions? Better ideas? Go with the washers and hope to fill the channel with adhesive?

The cylinder does need to have room for expansion of the fluid as it heats up on braking and so about 3/4 is a good working level for me in past RV=92s. I put a mark on the outside of the cylinder about 3/4 of the way up from the bottom. Take the cap off. Put a finger on the mark on the outside and look in the cylinder matching the fluid level with your finger on the outside. Of course, use a flashlight if needed. If it is too high, syphon a bit out of the M/C with a small hose. That said, I also agree that you should bleed the system (both sides) again to make sure you have removed all air from the lines. I like to screw a fitting (something like ACS part # AN840-4D -$4.45) into the M/C top. Then push on several feet of some tight fitting clear tubing so you can see what comes out. Put the other end of the tubing into a container, then go back down to the calipers and bleed away. Remember we are trying to force the fluid into the calipers through the lines and up into the master cylinder. If you are using Vans stock brake lines you can at least see if there is air in the transfer tubes, so carefully check these. Hope that helps=85..

As we know this charging system design went out in the mid 60s on cars and for good reason. The Plane Power alternator like Van's sells has an internal regulator. I have several years using this alternator on two RVs and they have been trouble free.
