    RV Electrical System Confusion

    Ok, this is going to probably be a long post. I need some help understanding how all of this works together. First I own a 2022 Flagstaff ePro 19FD. Almost everything in the trailer is 12V with the exception of the Microwave, Coleman AC, and the Water Heater (Dual fuel Propane or Electric). It...

    I have a 2006 Forest River Shamrock model 233. When I run both the AC and the hot water heater(via electric element), my AC circuit breaker trips. I have a suburban hot water, 6GAL and just replaced the element. The replacement element was a little longer but fits and works in the 6GAL...

    Hi! I have a used 2014 Forest River Forester 3011DS. Can someone please tell me if my full slide is hydraulic or electric?

    Propane/ electric frig

    Should I be able to see a flame in here somewhere? 1st picture. This of course is the door on the outside of the rig. The aluminum piece on the right is hot to the touch so I am assuming I have pilot light there ? I’m hooked up to house power now, does it only light off when it detects no...

    Electrical Issue with Heng's Range Hood in 2018 Salem

    Hello! I have a potentially stupid question. Our vent hood fan stopped working and we were trying to use a multimeter to test the rocker switches, wires, et cetera to figure out what part needed replaced. Our fuse panel doesn't have the vent fuse, so we unscrewed a few pieces off the hood to...

    The outside electrical cord won’t come out.

    For over ten years I have had the same routine when closing up my HW277 trailer. Today something happened I can’t explain. The last thing I do to keep the fridge cold as long as possible is unplug the electric cord from the camping electric supply. This time I was unable to pull the plug out...

    New electrical hookup

    We're researching installing a new electrical hookup on our daughter's property. Just curious about the going rate for an electrician to install it within 20 feet from the electrical panel in the garage.

    3 Disc brakes better than 4 electric brakes

    A while back I posted that I was changing out my electric brakes for hydraulic brakes. What a difference that made to the braking performance of our 5th wheel. I set out on a 5000+ mile journey and was super impressed by the braking ability of my new hydraulic brakes. I was even more...

    Electric awning wire covers

    I'm sure this issue isn't exclusive to me..Any suggestions on getting these wore covers to stay on in the arms of the elected awnings. Considering using wire looms, but not sure if there is enough clearance when it folds up.

    Electrical cord question

    This was user caused: We accidentally plugged in the cord from the trailer to the truck upside down. This caused the truck to constantly complain about the electrical, but it looked ok and we didn’t suspect the key to keep this from happening was weak. A mile down the road, we had a random car...

    Weird Mechanical/Electrical problems on 2017 Forester class C w/Ford E-450 engine

    Just minding my own business running down the road in Flaming Gorge, Utah when my trip suddenly changes drastically. The dashboard idiot lights tell me that my brakes are hot(or something), so I pull over to let them cool off. The brake/ABS warning lights go off so I think I'm in the clear to...

    First Time Electric Brake Adjustment

    Hello, Lippert axles and every video I have watched said to rotate the sprocket wheel UP to bring the shoes closer to the lining. In doing so everything became very loose. So I then reversed and went DOWN which eventually made it hard to turn the tire and I then backed off until it had just a...

    I have a 2021 HW 296. This past weekend the Powerwinch Motorized Folding Camper Winch seized up and fell apart with the camper about 70% raised. A set of bearings and a round piece of metal fell off and the gear that rolls up the cable spool partially fell off. The cable was really tight and...

    Calling electricians: what size breaker should I use for my subpanel?

    I mentioned this on my 48v/battery/inverter installation thread, but was hoping to get some better visibility on it. First, some background... I have 2 sources of power - either shore power (aka plugged into a campsite) or generator power. These both feed into an automatic transfer switch...

The unit was plugged into shore power at the storage facility, something we have done ever since we bought the RV. We also plugged in the dehumidifier since we live in...
