electrical

I want to add an electrical outlet under the bunks in the back of the unit. Is there enough space behind the "wall"? If so what is the best way to access it and is there a good source for 120v?

Haven’t had the camper out this year yet, and I started going thru it today. 110 is all I have at the house, normally not an issue for just going thru things. Plugged it up today and the only thing in the camper that gets power is the microwave and 110 hot water heater. Nothing else. No lights...

Hello, we have a 2021 Salem 273qbxl and we are having electrical issues. The lights in the main bedroom and some of the lights in the main trailer do not work but many others do as well as all major appliances. Any ideas of why? The fuses are all fine and our battery is fully charged and good...

My main power switch does not turn off 12v to anything on the trailer. I have tested the switch and it works fine, full continuity when "On" and no continuity when "Off". Next, I start testing my leads around that switch and every relay and connection in the pictured array of has 12 volts...

Last week while camping, we were hooked up to electric. I ran the electric heater all night without problems. In the morning, without thinking, I plugged the coffee maker in to the same GFI plug and puff. No more power. I went to the fuse box and toggled the thirty amp breaker as well as the GFI...

I've spent the last few weeks getting my coach and toad ready for a long trip (3 months/8,000 miles). As I connected the electrical cable between the coach and toad, and checked all the lights in the Jeep, I noticed that the turn signals, hazard lights, and brake lights did not work. After...

2020 NoBo 19.8 We had a coffee creamer spill in the fridge on our ride home (whole thing empty). When we arrived after we cleaned up the sticky mess and plugged in, m9st of the electrical inside does not work (fridge, microwave, vacuum). Checked breakers and and cleaned out the fridge output...

I live in my 19.6 on 30amp 120vac power. I've found I can't use my microwave/convection oven, and coffee pot and instant pot at the same time so I only run 2 of the three at a time. I recently discovered I can't run my air conditioning and microwave/convection oven at the same time which is a...

Hi all, I have a 2021 Cottage 40 CCK (destination trailer) which I had delivered to my RV park near Palm Springs, CA in May of 2020. We stayed in the park until the end of June getting it set up and used to all the features before leaving for home. The pandemic has kept us away until now and...

i know folks prefer videos, but this still might answer a few questions about the electrical systems interrelationships.

I can detect a slight electrical current in the metal housing of my Rockwood 2512S . Had the rig plugged in and was simply waiting for it to fill up when I detected this charge with my bare hand. Is this something I should have expected. Very mild current.

This weekend was our first camping trip! We have a 2021 Cedar Creek 5th wheel equipped with solar panels and an inverter. We're confused about where the power is actually coming from and why our batteries drained overnight while we were plugged in to the campsite's 50 amp outlet. When we woke up...

I am having some trouble trying to diagnose why the DC 15 AMP fuse keeps blowing. I have narrowed the issue down to the scare light switch in the garage. When that switch is turned on the fuse blows. Anyone have advice on how I can begin to resolve this issue? FYI - We are brand new to RV'ing...

We have a forest river heritage glen bh366 camper. last summer we lost partial electrical. The power to our TV, fridge, central vacuum and counter plug suddenly stopped working. Have checked both the kitchen and bathroom GFI plugs, even replaced one to be sure and still can't figure out the...

I'm having problems getting my electrical connection between the motorhome and towed vehicle (Jeep Wrangler) to work properly. The MH is a 2007 Dynamax Dynaquest 340XL, with a standard 7 pin blade connector socket at the rear. My TOAD is a Jeep Wrangler JK, using an OEM wire harness that is...

Hello forum members Thanks for your earlier feedback when we were researching to purchase a new RV. We are super exciting to have an Isata3 24FW on order with delivery late May early June. I’m sure we will be asking many more questions especially after we take delivery. But for now I am...

Hello! My daughter tried simultaneously using the USB charging port and using the LED light on the top bunk and the outlet hissed. It would not work. It seems the top bunk port and light cannot be used in tandem. The dealer states this is a very common problem and to just not use both at once...

I am interested in the opinions of readers on the forum. I am adding a 190W solar panel to our Escape 19. In wiring the positive & negative leads from the controller, I have thought of a couple of options: (1) Positive and negative wires from controller connected directly to battery. (2)...

2012 Sanibel 3500 5th wheel. The trailer is stored in an indoor RV garage and I always leave the shore power hooked up so that the batteries stay charged. The trailer sat all last year because of COVID. While getting the trailer ready yesterday for a quick trip I noticed a buzzing sound. I...

E-Pro 19 with murphy bed. The "charging center" 12 v receptacles have no power to the wires. I have checked the fuses in panel and all are OK. I see no inline fuses. The wiring goes thru floor and apparently is within the outside wrap which I hate to remove to chase wiring. Has anyone...

I'm putting this in general discussion hoping more will see. Many have found loose connections in RV panels, outlets, etc. Having them tight is important. Having them not too tight is also very important. Over tightening screws could strip them. There are times it is not realized the screw...

Looking for help from you electrical wizards as to what these key components are here in my battery box. I do have an emergency battery jumper from the cab to the coach and maybe one is a controller for that. The one in the middle I believe is a large fuse? Is the rack on the left a row of...

My storage location has no power source. When I return to perform predeparture clean up, what electrical access should I expect? The battery has been turned off during storage. After i turn on the battery, the lights come on, but the electrical outlets have no power. I have checked the fuses...

Hi! We have a Rockwood 1940LTD popup. We had the roof replaced due to warping and added a Fantastic Fan. On our last trip we noticed that the Fantastic Fan and Ceiling lights work, but nothing on the INTERIOR bottom half of the trailer work, not the porch light or sockets. All EXTERIOR...
