    Battery Discharge while on shore power.

    I have a 2018 Rockwood Ultra Lite 2604WS. We have been on the road since July 4th heading up the East coast. The first night of camping in Myrtle Beach we experienced a very quick flickering effect of our interior lights. They are the new LED puck lights. Within an hour of that event, the...

    No A/C on Shore power but works fine on generator.

    We are in a 2006 Travel Supreme and we plugged into 50 amp power today and the A/C won't run. Also, only half of the outlets on the coach are getting power. The thermostat is blinking the E7 error, which I know means Loss of 120 VAC power to all power module boards on the system. But, how do I...

    Breakers and shore power

    I have seen various recommendations regarding shutting off breakers either in the camper or on the pedestal prior to plugging in the camper (with surge protection of course). Can we get a poll on how many people: a) shut off the breaker in the camper prior to connecting b) shut off the breaker...

    Outlets with no energy?

    Hello All, First post here. I'm a new Kodiak Cub owner. After purchase of my trailer, I have realized my outlets only work when I am connected to shore energy (the 30 amp trailer cord is hooked up to an external power source). Is this the norm? Is there a way around this? I plan on...

    Precision Circuits panel will not detect 50 amp shore power

    We are renting a 2021 Forest River Georgetown RV. It has a Precision Circuits control panel. It will not let us start the AC units when we are plugged into 50 Amp service, only if we are running the generator. I have verified I have power coming from the pedestal to the RV. The inverter...

    WARNING: The Shore Power Recall is NO JOKE!!

    We just got a recall notice that said we may experience intermittent shore power issues on our 2020 Wolf Pup (bought last year the month before COVID). Our dealer has been super busy so we decided to take it in when things slow down. We've used this camper a decent amount over the past year and...

    Shore Power Issue

    Had a little issue with shore power to coach earlier in the trip. Plugged in to shore power on 2nd night of trip and coach didn't power up and wouldn't charge the batteries and the batteries wouldn't hold a charge. Thought it might be the transfer switch but it was only a year and a half old...

    Cherokee recall for shore power connector

    Caught wind of this recall today and called the dealer who is an hour away. From the way the woman on the phone describes it it’s a quick fix if it even needs fixing. On some trailers it doesn’t sound like they stripped the wiring back far enough? My question is has anyone just fixed themselves...

    50 amp shore power = 50 amp circuit breaker = trouble?

    I have a new Forester 3011; my dealer added a second AC, installing a separate outside connection dedicated to the AC. Their instructions were to use the conventional 30A shore power for normal use and add a household (heavy duty) extension cord to the campground 20A outlet for the 2nd AC...

    Hello, I installed a DoHonest camera using the Furrion adapter on the rear of my trailer. I tested it before installing and it worked great. When I went to test it with the TV connected to the TT I was not getting a signal and could not pair it. After going over trouble shooting tips in...

    Shore power draw with a solar panel

    My new camper came with the factory installed solar panel and charge controller. I’ve read my setup is not much more than a glorified trickle charger for the battery, but I got to thinking about my seasonal spot. When we’re gone during the week the only real draw will be the 12v fridge running...

    Converter fan running full time when connected to shore power?

    Just bought a 2020 GeoPro 16BH and it’s amazing. We’re connected to shore power 30AMP here at the campground. When all the interior lights are on, I’ve noticed that the converter fan runs almost all the time as long as the lights are on. Basically doesn’t turn off at all. The noise doesn’t...

    I have a 2019 Forester 3011ds. When plugged in to shore power, I have no blue lite on the exterior inlet.

    Shore power door

    My external shore power door broke off when I tried to open it. This is the small plastic door in the rear that housing the shore power cord. It appears the plastic pin hinge snapped. The temperature was in the 20's so maybe it was brittle in the cold. IDK but I need a new one. Any suggestions...
