Electrical Woes

Question re 2004 trail-lite 22' motorhome by r-vision(B+)

Last nite I lost all my "shore power" . I was plugged in to a 50 amp using a converter adapter to my 30 amp cord. I am in Savannah Ga and was using my air conditioning system when the power went out. I could use my lights from battery power but no appliances or outlet, even when I turned on the generator! I would expect that I blew a AC fuse but I can not find any fuse panel or circuit breaker in this whole RV. I am a new(newbie) Rv'r and I bought this RV 2nd hand with 13,000 miles on it. I have made several modifications to make it more practicle and this is my first trip with it as I purchased it late fall and had no or little "shake down time" My wife is ready to call it quits so I really need to find this fuse box or breaker before very long! HELP!!! Thanks in advance Keith

    Sounds like a tripped circuit breaker. There is a breaker / fuse panel. Look for something that looks like this. Inside the door, you'll find a fuse panel for the 12 volt side, and a circuit breaker panel for the 120 volt side.

    Look around the bed frame, refrigerator, furnace, thermostat, lower walls, etc. It may not be the exact model in the link above, but, it will look similar. Some do not have a knob, the door may have a spring latch.

    In order to be able to help, we need a few pointers:

    Make and model
    year
    general lay out, rear bed, or bathroom where is the kitchen on left side or right

    What you are looking for is a brown or black square lid that has a plastic "knob" you need to use a coin or screw driver to turn the knob and pull the lid down.

    Once opened you will see the braker switches and also the fusees, the braker that poped is going to be feel losse, turn the air conditioner off as well as the refrigerator, tv, inverter, any shore powered utensil, now turn the brakers all off and then turn them on, then turn the fride on and then the air.
