    Brake lights but connected to shore power

    Our right brakes lights are on but we haven't been connected to a tow vehicle for a while. I disconnected the harnesses to keep the lights from burning out but that disabled and locked me out of operating the slides and awnings. Anyone else have this issue? Any suggestions? Thanks so much!

    RPod202 NorCol N7V Fridge and Shore Power

    Hi...I have a NorCold N7V 2way fridge. On propane, works great. On Predator 5000 works great. On 30A shore power works great. While TT is in storage and on 15A shore power w/15A-30A pigtail it defaults to propane. I'm thinking it doesn't have enough A's @ 15A pedestal. Thoughts?? VR/Mikey
