#1037 i had to replace the compressor because it kept quitting with the indicator lights on the command component indication low voltage. I replaced the module after using my vom to confirm there was a volt drop on startup. But that didn't fix it. So a new compressor, $1350! Plus install. So cold beer for another 25yrs.

I am hull #1075. Almost hesitant to say mine is also still working well. It 
is good to follow this topic because you never know what is ahead.
