    Strange electrical issues

    I just finished replacing both of the front hydraulic levelers on my Coachmen Mirada Motorhome. All went well with that and they are functioning as they should. I now have an issue with no 12-volt power in the coach. I have 110VAC as my tv, microwave, residential fridge, etc. works. I did...

Question is, to anyone, are there more elect plugs yet to be discovered that are powered by the...

    Rig was plugged into shore power, everything was great. Come back to rig a few days later and nothing works except for the fridge. Battery Disconnect button at the front door doesn't do anything.

    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...

    hooking up generator

    I bought a solar generator and would like to know if it would be better to plug it in bypassing the charger and battery or to just plug the shore power plug into it. If the 12volt battery does not need to be charged, can I just bypass the converter and charger? Thanks, Travis

    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...

    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...
