Odyssey > 6. Here's what the drawing looks like when you turn all the layers on at once! Not particularly useful, but it looks impressive (or silly, depending on your point of view), and it gives you an idea of how complex the project is.
Odyssey > The mysterious Automatic Transfer Switch.  This drawng is too complex to describe here.  There's a description on the Odyssey gear-head page which is a bit out of date (and points to an older drawing), but should suffice until I post something more current.
Odyssey > This is the DC panelboard schedule.
Odyssey > The Kubota-powered Fidelity generator that was in Odyssey when we got her had been rigged up with a very hokey one-touch start/stop system involving four delay-timers and a bunch of relays, and probably some magic smoke.  Starting was unreliable, and, moreover, the whole timer/relay mess was not with the generator, but in another compartment full of relays and timers for everything on the coach, all of which we had to rip out.   I had to completely redesign the start/stop system and the Kubota's wiring harness, and this diagram is the result.
Odyssey > This is the main DC distributuion diagram from the batteries up to the main disconnects, for both house and chassis.  The house disconnects are manual, as we don't expect to use them ever, except in emergencies or for maintenance purposes.  The chassis disconnects are Intellitec latching solenoids, controlled from a switch in the cockpit.  We'll switch off the chassis batteries anytime we are parked for more than a week or so.  The PathMaker is a device that automatically connects the house batteries to the main engine alternator when it is running and the chassis system has come up to a specific voltage level.  It also has a driver command switch that forces a connection for the purpose of "jump-starting" the chassis battery system.  The two Vanner equalizers allow us to draw 12 volts off the center tap of the 24-volt system without harming the batteries.
Odyssey > A more detailed drawing of the wet bay layout, in both plan and elevation views.  The plan view is also found on the bay-level floor plan.
Odyssey > 9. The potty area.  Note the mirror panel that has already fallen off (and broken into numerous pieces).
Odyssey > 4. View from the front back through the main salon towards the galley.
Odyssey > Another view at Camanche.
