shore power

If I'm connected to shore power, can the inverter be on? If the shore power fails while I'm away will the Inverter will sense the loss of external signal and then power the circuit? I assume it must have such a capability or at least synchronize to the shore A/C signal since you do not switch...

The storage building shore power, 15 amp outlet I have been using for the last 8 years to power an Outback 3000w I/C and a Triplite 2000w I/C will not connect to the Isata 5 28SS Explorer without popping. I know the connector cable works (2 long term recent uses with RVs and I believe the...

Hello Everyone… I have a 2003 Ford F-53 RV I usually stay hooked up to shore power for 6 months, then leave the RV in storage for the other 6 months … So after 3 years of this schedule the chassis battery died even though I was hooked up for months , and now the deep cycle batteries are...

I installed a Xantrex Freedom series inverter and run 4 6-volt AGMs. It’s an awesome setup. I did this because after spending the money on our Voltage 3200 it seemed very stupid to me that you couldn’t watch tv or charge a phone unless you were running the generator or on shore power. I...

Hello, 2019 Grey wolf 26dbh. Replaced original battery as it was dead, bought a good rv/marine battery, after 3 weeks attached to shore power the battery was only 1/2 charged. Took the inverter to have tested, it's fine. 40amp, 15amp and 10amp fuses are all good. Replaced anyway. Any ideas...

Our 3 year old 17A is not charging the batteries via the shore power cord. Following the diagnostic instructions in the Cheng converter distribution center manual I tested the voltage coming off the terminals meant to feed the batteries and sure enough it indicates a problem (low/varying...

I just heard from the dealer today that there is a recall for my 2021 16BHS for a faulty shore power connection in the trailer. It was described as intermitent shore power and not a fire risk. Has anyone heard more information about it? or had experience with the problem? We have not had an...

I am in the process of installing solar and battery charger upgrades including lithium battery in my new 2020 hawk shell. I purchased the propane heater option with no propane stove. I would like to install shore power as well and while pondering the prospect of drilling a large hole in the...

Hello, New member here, I am a long time boater, still have my older 40' yacht. New to RVing. Similar systems. We plugged in an extra portable electic heater and apprently overloaded the AC bus. No shore power. Obviously, I checked pedistal, cord, MCB on panel. All good. Everything runs on...

Hello, I am new to the RV life. I was working in my 2008 Lexington 32 gts,just doing some cosmetic upgrades before we make our first trip. Everything has been working perfectly but today I noticed the lights were dim. Batteries were low so i put it on the charger. After a while, everything...

Is there any way to see what amp load is on the shore power? I believe the xantrax panel just shows the amp load of whats pulling from the inverter. --John

Hi all, Brand new 2021 unit with a Coleman Mach10 45054-8792. When the shore power is connected and the ac/heat pump unit is off, I'm hearing an audible buzzing sound coming from somewhere in the unit. Its not super loud, but its loud enough to sound a little off, meaning I wouldn't expect...

Hi all, This is my first winter storing my Georgetown 350TS. We’re storing it outside and it will be covered by a full cover with ventilation. I know I have to keep my batteries healthy through the winter. I’ve seen different options like trickle chargers like the Noco Genius 2X2. If I...

Hey guy, I'm one of those people who connected to a friends 30amp 220V, not a 110. I have a 2018 Forest river class A ( the 38A). After I did this the shore power will not not work when connected to a correct plug. I've tired a 15amp plug and 30amp, both 110. If I fire up the...

I have 2 200ah Lifeblue lithium batteries. When on shore power the BMS records a cycle on each battery about every 2 weeks. The rep said they cycle when 80% power is drawn from the batteries.My Victron 712 and the BMS app never show the batteries below 97% on shore power. What would be the...

Can I leave my 2018 DX3 37RB plugged in to shore power all winter? I'm hearing conflicting reports. What is the right answer? Is the answer to disconnect batteries using switch, but leave shore power plugged in to trickle charge? Or is it something else?

I have a 2021 Grey Wolf 22MKSE that came with a single 12 volt 75 Ah battery and a 50 watt solar panel. I upgraded to a four 6 volt 430 Ah battery bank and 800 watt solar panel system with MPPT controller setup. The solar works very well at charging my battery bank quite quickly and rarely...

I have a 2006 Forrest River Surveyor. Does anyone know, or know how to find out if the charger is "smart" when plugged into shore power? I want to know if its cooking my deep cell battery (had issues with that recently). Trying to determine if I should leave the rig plugged into shore power...

I recently purchased this 2021 Georgetown with 50 amp service. I’m trying to run just one air conditioning on a 30 amp service temporarily. It runs for about five minutes and pops the breaker. I can’t imagine what would be drawing so much current? It has the residential fridge with the 2000 W...

Ok I know there are a lot of posts on here and I have been reading a lot of good info. But am not sure what is happening. The battery is completely dead. I got it home and jumped the battery with my truck to get the winch to open the popup. ( I have a 1640 esp 2020). I bought an adapter...

I have a travel trailer that that just lost the 12v lights and stereo...but the heater comes on. I have a dual battery set up and it’s fully charged, so it’s not the batteries. I checked for fuses underneath the trailer but didn’t see any with any breakers or resets. When I’m plugged into shore...

I am the original owner and lately been living out of the RV for some months. During hot weather I have noticed that the shore 30amp power was getting quite warm. I changed out the connector and that's when I noticed the #12 copper strands were black due to the heat. OMG, the rating for 30amp...

I was plugged into park power and running the air conditioner yesterday when the 120V power went out in the trailer. I checked the pedestal and power cord, both were good. My Progressive EMS reported no errors, (and 0 amp draw) and there was power at the female end of the power cord where it...

I have a 2014 Forest River Sunseeker 3170DS and need to know where the transfer switch (relay) is located. I've looked in the wall next to the batteries, in the wall where the Battery disconnect switch is. In the Gene compartment. In the compartment with the Converter - I simply can't find...

(I did search, but couldn't find anything useful... Probably because "shore power wiring" brought back so much!) We are picking up a used 2017 Apex Nano 193BHS tonight. We are new to campers, so I'm not sure what needs "shore power" vs 12v. We have a barn that we will be storing next to...
