power

has anyone run a 12v power outlet to your wheel bays or above your black tank outlet? i am thinking of running one to each set of wheels for use for air compressor and/or macerator. just wonder what guage wire did you use? i found a roll of 14 guage romex in my shed that i am thinking of using.

Can I hook up to shore power with no house batteries installed? What about the battery wires?

I have a 2023 Heritage Glen 5th wheel. Furrion FCD16DCASA-BG fridge. Originally new, the control board was bad. It was replaced and fridge worked fine for less than 36 hours. Previously had power, just wouldn't kick in cooling, now no power at all. I have check breaker box and there is not...

While watching TV, we turned on fireplace. We do that all the time without an issue. Just as fireplace fake flame came on, the fireplace and tv both went off. Both outlets are dead. Breaker did not pop. I've checked breaker and it works. There is power in the Romex wire leaving the breaker...

This note is for those of you who drive M2 trucks. From the moment I drove out of the dealer when we picked up our rig in Oct of 2021, we heard a "squeaking" noise especially significant when we turned the wheel for a 90 degree turn. No way was I going to go back to the dealer (in NJ) as...

Interesting coincidence today, servicing my 2019 FSX Wildwood for a Sunday trip, both the interior lights and all towing lights don't work while off shore power. All coach faculties work under shore power. I know the 2018 F150 wiring is good as I towed a smaller trailer yesterday. Assuming all...

Has anyone looked at trying to add a power shedding module to an existing motorhome electrical system? Summer is not long away in Texas and I'd like to start working on adding a second a/c unit in my bedroom. I have a 2018 Forester 3011DS that has a single 15.5m BTU air conditioner, amid...

I have a 2017 Georgetown Forest River 364. I replaced all the batteries today and with the generator on the air conditioners and everything else work. However, when I connect to shore power (which is putting out the right amount of power) I can’t get power to the air conditioners or anything...

Good evening! I have a 2017 3875 Cardinal. No longer living in it full time but went out the other day to check on things and found the living room lights to not be coming on when the electric wall panel switch is turned on. Doing some research, the LED puck lights seem to go bad but all 4 of...

I have a 2019 27BHWS Flagstaff Superlight. I just found that my jack, slides, and awning are not working when using battery power. I am able to turn on lights inside and outside of the camper. While attempting to use the jack there is very little power and the power strip lights on the front...

I am wondering about the power system in my new trailer. I did not get any documentation and as a new trailer owner and electrician, I am very curious about how it all operates.

I found this idea on the internet so I can’t take credit but it sure works great. You only need to expose enough cable to reach the RV. It works so good I had to share. That is a 30’ 50amp cord. As a bonus, the surge protector also fits in the bucket.

We have a 2018 Forester 3011ds on a Ford E-450 chassis, and have never been happy with the OEM manual recliner chairs in the living room slide out. After looking at the market for power recliners, we decided that our best best was the Recpro 67" "Charles" series power recliners. Ordered them...

Did your coaches come with the GoPower remote? Ours has the remote for the solar, but not the remote for the I/C, though ours did come with the manual for the I/C remote. If the coaches do not come with the remote, how are we supposed to know what settings the I/C is set to? To our knowledge...

This isn't really anything i am going to use on our TT - it would be to measure power usage of some of my wife & I's shop tools (drill press, kiln, saws). We are getting a bit more into our hobbies and I'd like to get an idea of how much they are contributing to the electric bill. I've seen...

2021.5 Georgetown GT7 36D7 Started with not being able to charge the batteries while boondocking. Replaced 2 batteries of the 4 last night. Couldn't get the other 2 until today. When installed battery disconnect seems to keep tripping turning everything off within a number of minutes. Husband...
