Electrical issues on travel trailer
Hello, I have a 2007 Denali travel trailer that is currently located on family property connected to a dedicated 50A service outlet 24/7. It has been that way for a year now, and I've had some curious issues - wondering if anyone can help me diagnose or troubleshoot.
First it was the fridge (which is level) - at night the fridge would alternate between electric and gas after being on electric all day. Noticed this problem stopped if we left a light on all night (only certain nearby lights helped). As those lights started burning out from age and constant use, I switched them to LEDs and the problem came back.
Now in summer, the AC aid running more and the fridge is swapping power sources whenever the AC kicks on. Weird because more power draw helped the problem before and now it's hurting.
New problem, as fall is approaching and evenings get colder the gas furnace wants to kick on at night, but the furnace fans run very weakly until I turn on a light (same kitchen lights I used to solve the fridge problem before) and then it immediately kicks back into high gear... again, more power draw solved my problems...
1. Do I need to get rid of all my LEDs?
2. Do I have problems elsewhere and where should I start looking?
I'm new here and only poked around for a few minutes. I am VERY sorry if this post is a duplicate of someone else's and this has already been addressed.
