We have a 2014 Tiffin 42"LH Phaeton. When plugged into shore power you turn the key on and the lights dim a little and I lose 3 volts AC at the outlets. I am told that when you turn on the key the i...

You probably have a inverter/charger that stops charging when the inverter is on hence the DC voltage drop.
NOT if he is still plugged into 50 amp 120 service which seems to be what he stated. Inverter ON and connected to 120 service, the Inverter is NOT ON, but in standby mode. ALL 120 supply is pass thru, thru the Inverter, but NOT Inverted power. IF you lose 120 power TO the Inverter, the Inverter will come on as long as it is in Standby mode and then go OFF Inverter current when 120 power restored. Doug
Blue sky: Could the isolator solenoid be closed (or fused closed) and the key causes extra DC load causing the lights to dim and also for the charger to draw more AC amps hence causing the AC voltage to drop.
