I recently picked up my (first) new trailer and I'm trying to wrap my head around how the 12V system actually works. 1. If I'm plugged into shore power, where is the 12V coming from to power the 12V components in the trailer? It appears that opening up the battery disconnect switch has no...

And about where is it going to be on the XL? Pretty sure its on the driver side but wondering about how far back from the front door? Just trying to build in my 50amp circuit in the garage. Thanks in Advance

Hello I'm new here and in desperation since I'm trying to change the junction box because it was corroded. I took a picture to re-wire the junction box the same way. All the cables are connected the same way it was with the exception the battery cable that as you can see I didn't notice that it...

I noticed on my last trip my left blinker stopped working. I checked the bulb and it was fine, then hooked my other truck to it, not the one I tow with normally and the blinkers were working, so the Tundra I tow with for whatever reason is not sending the left blinker signal. Any ideas what...

Good morning all, Long story short I was hoping to get a few small things fixed under warranty but my dealer isn't returning my calls and the only local "non dealer" repair guy here in Mid Michigan isn't taking any warranty work at the moment. So, it looks like I am stuck addressing my issues...

I’m ordering the imagine 22MLE which will be pre-wired for an inverter. My plan is to make it simple and plug my shore power cable directly in to the inverter (via adapter) and then turn off the breaker for the A/C and the converter. It looks, however, like the converter is on the same circuit...

Hello all, been a while since I posted a question. Put a SoftStart on my Coleman Mach 15000 AC in August. On shore power, works like a charm. Got a SUA2300i generator from Sam’s Club for Father’s Day. Finally tried it on my Phoenix. Used my EMS and a ground plug, did not want to run with...

I have all the parts on the way to finish my DC power install. Before I put everything in, would you take a look and see if there is anything I should consider changing? Especially WRT wire size and breakers. All wire runs are really short (<18") except the runs from the solar panels...

Hello. I recently purchased a used (2020) E Pro 12SRK. The previous owners professed a lack of understanding regarding all things electrical so I ha e a few questions I can't seem to find answers for in the forum. 1. USB ports use while boondocking. It appears only the one USB port on the...

In my 2017 Forest River Sierra 378FB, we started smelling an acrid electrical smell yesterday. It seems to be strongest from the washer/dryer closet in the front bathroom at the nose of the trailer. I’m not powering anything from the plug in that’s located in the closet, and haven’t detected the...
