Cabin power goes out on its own
Good morning. I have a very weird yet serious problem with the power in my cabin. From the start, please forgive my lack of knowledge and the proper lingo. I am new and learning as I go.
I live in my 2003 Jayco Granite Ridge in Central Illinois. Doing good through the winter so far, with the exception that my power goes out by itself quite a bit. This requires me to press the battery disconnect button to reset the power in the cabin, just inside the door. When I press that button, there's a beep, the green light indicator comes on, and the power kicks on.
The problem is that it always goes out when I am gone or asleep. Yesterday, the power in the cabin went off while I was at work. As I walked up to the door, I heard the the beep as if someone had pressed the button and the power kicked on. (I live alone and the door was locked). I woke up this morning with the power out and I had to press the button again to reset it. The power going out and me having to press the button to restart the power has happened on at least 6 occasions so far since I moved into the RV in October 2014.
This would not be a problem during the warmer months. But, the power going out in the winter can get a bit chilly. It was 40 degrees in the cabin last night when I got home from work.
I have 30 amp service and am connected to shore power. I have heat tape and a heated water hose, both of which are plugged into a dedicated electrical power source. So, no issues there.
Question: What would possibly make the power in the cabin go out on its own and how can I fix this problem?
Thank you in advance.
Jerry
