I have a buzzing noise coming from the breaker box area under the fridge. It is only doing it when I am plugged in to the 30amp rv box on the garage.
As soon as I turn anything on (12v or 110v) in the trailer the buzzing quits. It starts back up as soon as I shut everything off.
Earlier in the day it did this and I unplugged and killed the 12v main power too. I plugged back in and reconnected the battery and it was fine. Just went back out and it is doing it again.
I confirmed the little fan inside is NOT running.
Any ideas ??
Is this normal ??
Thanks.

Nice..... have you thought about beefing up the hold downs. I don't know if the stock hold downs are rated for the weight of your Suzuki.
They are rated at 1200lbs each tie down and the Sami weighs about 3000lbs. From what I was told a person can divide the weight over the number of tie downs BUT I wouldn't trust these after crawling underneath and seeing how they are attached. The stock tie downs are just 3 bolts threaded into the frame.... no nuts on the bottom side.
Also the front tires of the Sami end up parked right on top of the front set of tie downs. Figure I will not only upgrade the tie downs I will be using but also add some in the front as well. - RacormanExplorerBy the way...
Before you use your fuel station to pump gas into your toys, make sure you run about 1/2 gallon into a glass jar. I found lots of crud came out of the virgin fuel pump the first time I used it. I quickly installed a fuel filter before I used mine again. - RacormanExplorer

Thanks for the pics but any chance you could take a pic or two of the fuel station, where the nozzle and hose storage box is ?
Looking for if the storage box for the hose and nozzle has a strap holding it up or just the three screws at the keyed door and one screw out the back to the frame.
There is no strap holding the storage box. You are correct, it is only held by screws into the siding and one long sheet metal screw into the frame. The fuel pump is mounted on a bracket attached by three screws and nuts. Not the best design or installation. Take a close look at the hose running into the box with no bushing for protection. :( - RacormanExplorer

Shorepower is 30 Amps 110v?
Can't tell what the AC-DC panel brand in picture but the 30 Amp Breaker is the "Service Main". Turning it off should kill all 110v power to the unit.
Sounds like it is time to do a trace out of the circuits and re-label the panel properly to avoid future confusion. Personally, I like to isolate the refridgerator and power converter to seperate 15Amp breakers if the panel has space. This reduces nuisance tripping by unloading amps from the "general purpose" circuits for hair dryer type events...
Thanks..... My photo is labeled incorrectly. You're correct, the 30 amp is the main. The 20 amp is A/C
I've now put in separate breakers for the refrigerator and the converter.
Now I just have to re-label the breaker box door :B - my996duc1ExplorerFinally got a pic of mine.
