THe outlet has power unless you start the motor home.
Another possible use for such a relay... If it is dpdt or 3pdt is to transfer between MAINS power and INVERTER if you have one.
I knew I didn't have an inverter (but after finding that relay I admit I was hopeful maybe there was a "hidden" one haha), so that was one of my first thoughts.
That being said, I have a "charger/converter" to the left of my entry door in the bay and then I have an inverter that I added myself to the right in the bay. My current problems with this setup are 1) I have to manually plug into the inverter 2) It's not a true sine so it buzzes all my electronics 3) I have 2 12v house batteries that don't last very long on it
That will have to be a project for another time however, right now I'm tackling a number of other things, including fabricating my own jack controller instead of paying $750 for a new one (I should make a video for this actually)
