    Stuck Shore Power Cord

    I have been at the same camping spot for 3 months and went to move this morning and could not remove my 30 Amp Shore power cord from the trailer where is connects and twists in place. Looks like I am going to have to replace the 30 amp power inlet and replace the end of the power cord. Is...

    Batteries drain on shore power

    Just bought a lightly used 2018 Sunseeker 2400 WSD. Took it out for the first trip and everything worked great. The only problem is that while plugged into shore power the batteries went from full to empty. What should I check to see why the battery is not charging. TIA!

    No 12 volt Power unless on Shore Power or Generator

    We were boon-docking. When we shut down the generator for the night, the 12 volt lights got dim immediately, so I assumed the batteries were bad (5 years old.) I replaced them with two 27 series deep cycle batteries. Ever since then, when the genny is on, the 12 volts lights are on, when genny...

    Shore power and Generator

    We have a 2020 Sunseeker 3010 DS. My question is if I’m plugged into 30 amp shore power will it hurt anything if I start up the generator. Reason for this question is that I was told by the dealer the only way to run the AC and the microwave at the same time is with the generator running and I...

    Beeping inverter even on shore power (camping now)

    Oh boy......first night out for our week vacation to the Oregon Coast is starting out less than perfect. Left home with charged batteries (2 6v) and inverter on to power our outside fridge (most outlets won’t work without our inverter on). I would have thought the trailer being plugged into...

    Batteries won't charge on shore power - but DO on Generator??

    So, what could cause the batteries to NOT charge on Shore Power, but DO charge on Generator (and/or engine)? MH has been sitting, on shore power for a month or so since last trip. I find the batteries dead. The 110v ac system works (slides work), but the steps dont work. I disconnect from...

    1 A/C Works with Generator, Both A/Cs work with Shore Power

    On our return trip from Florida last week, we fired up the generator in the afternoon to cool off the rig on the road, like we had the previous day and previous trips. The main cabin A/C didn't fire up - no fan, nothing. However, we tried the bedroom A/C and it fired up fine. When we got to...

    set a Dometic 2-way Fridge for 'always on Shore Power'...

    hi we've had our 07 Rockwood for over a month, and our son loves it as his 'home next to Mom and Dad' all to himself! Everything is working pretty fine... except... the fridge, or at least a question about 'how' to set the fridge when ALWAYS on 120v Shore Power - he'll never use the 'gas'...

    Batteries not charging with shore power

    Hi, I have my 2017 Sunseeker plugged into my home power. The cord lights up with blue light to show the electric cord to the motorhome is working. However, there is no electricity to the house -- lights and AC not working. With generator on, I can get both to work. I checked circuit under...

    Isata 5 36DS shore power wiring?

    Looking for some help regarding wiring on our Isata 5 36DS. I’m looking to add in a hard wired shore power reel so I dont have to drag the 50amp cord around. Does anyone know how the wiring runs from the power cable receptacle on the side of the coach? Does it go directly from the receptacle...

    2021 E-PRO Shore Power Charges Batteries?

    Does anyone know if the 2021 E-Pro can charge it's batteries off of shore power? I know it has a 1,000 watt inverter but I can't find any info on a converter/charging unit. Thanks!

    'bypass' the battery, if always on 120v shore power?

    hi my son has a '07 Rockwood Signature Ultra Light camper, and the battery has been low since the purchase last month, but has not been any 'issue' until lately, when the CCI gas leak detector has 'faulted' several times, and at the same time the Dometic 2-way fridge has 'check' lighted those...

    OK, some confusion on inverter/shore power wiring

    So I have a Victron Inverter (just an invertor, not multi). How do I wire this in reference to shore power? Do I need an ATS? I am getting the remote to turn it off remotely.

    Shore Power

    I have a 2015 Sunseeker 3010. When hooked up to shore power does the chassis battery get a charge along with the coach batteries?

    Fridge doesn't work when away from shore power

    The refri works good when plugged in. But, not now after being unplugged. I thought RV repair told me it should work on propane but no such luck. What might be the problem? What might the cost be for repair? Thx a mil!

    Battery Disconnect w/ Connected to Shore Power

    Good morning, After spending half an hour searching and reading posts on the battery disconnect functions, I can't find the answer to this question. When hooked up to shore power, should I still use the chassis battery disconnect on my 390BH? Blessings, Dave

    No 12V if with 30A shore power

    Woke up about 2a to my CO2 sensor beeping...loss of power. I didn’t have any 12V but 120V stuff was still working. Battery terminal was a little corroded so I cleaned it and got a small spark. Switched from 30A shore power to 50A shore power and everything started working. Why?

    House shore power

    I want to install a 30amp outlet at the house for the 26DBH. When we park the camper in front of the house the electrical hookup is perfectly inline with our house main break box outside. I took a peek at the breaker box and there are only 4 breakers currently: 60amp - sub panel inside 50amp -...

    Can a weak battery cause problems while on shore power?

    I purchased a new Rockwood fifth wheel last summer and (insert long story about my stupidity here) I managed to drain the battery all the way down. After plugging the RV back in everything appeared to return to normal, but I know that completely draining a battery like that will cause some...

    Home Shore Power Question

    I installed shore power at my house today and thanks to all the advice and documentation on here it was pretty simple. One question though, I noticed the main breaker for the house (inside house) is only rated for 60 amps. Is that enough to run my TT's air conditioner (15K btu) with everything...

    Furnace ON activates A/C when on shore power

    A curious glitch in the operation of our furnace: when I turn on the furnace, it starts and runs fine, but if we're connected to shore power, within a minute or less the A/C also switches on. So we have cold air thru the ceiling A/C outlets and warm air thru the floor level furnace outlets...
