    Not charging from shore power

    Plug shore power cord into small inverter

    I have a 500 watt Bestek pure sine wave inverter that is plugged in to the cigarette outlet at the rear living space next to the tv. The wire to the cigarette outlet is 12 gage and the run is probably 30 feet or so from the batteries up front to the rear of the trailer. I basically only use...

    Flagstaff Epro 19bh GFCI Trips easily when plugged into Shore Power. WFCO 5110rs

    I'm just submitting this thread in case anyone else has this problem. I couldn't put much of a load on my AC outlets without the GFCI tripping (usually a electric tea kettle at about 750 watts). This led me to believe that they weren't hooked up to the pass through system coming from shore...

    I recently had a situation come up that i would like to get the group’s input on. Our 21.5 36D7 is our rv lot in north central Alabama while we are back home in Ohio for the winter. We leave the coach plugged into the power pedestal to keep the fridge going and the batteries topped off. There...

    Terrible shore power electrics

    Does anyone out in the world suffer from the terrible 110v wall power wiring as we are experiencing with our 6 figure, 2022 River Ranch 390 RL? There is only ONE circuit for all wall and counter outlets controlled by a single 15 amp breaker. Ridiculous. Unplugging and plugging to use normal...

    None working towing lights and no lights work off shore power

    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...

    Generator still running? Shore power off?

    Try a set one of these. I have and they work to let you know anywhere that the rig is without 110V except to the extent of the inverter. Only question is - do we have a single power point that is not inverter powered? https://gfinotify.com/

    Precision Circuits Precision Plex has never shown 50amp Service - Solved

    We have never seen our coach display 50amp service before. Our "hand off" guy told us it must have been standard on our coach. We receive and can utilize 50amp service, but could only ever select 15, 20 or 30 AMP. If the coach were to use above 30amps (amp usage shown on screen) it would simply...
