Help electrical problems! aplenlite trailer

Hey everyone I really need some help!!
My travel trailer I just recently bought a shore power isn't working. Its an aplenlite. It worked the first night we plugged it in. Then went back in a couple days later lights were dim... Batteries are charged now. New cords. New plug. House power works. Check gfis. What possibly could it be?????? Any help would be so appreciated even if we have to start all over. Owner assured us everything worked great. Tried it all out and then got home and Now were having problems. Please help. Thanks.

    Buy more than one fuse. Something caused the fuse to blow. You may not be out of the woods yet.

    A trailer electrical guy came out. A fuse in our INVERTER was bad. On the hunt to buy the fuse.

    Thanks for all your help

    Did you have the house builders wire the outlet for your trailer to plug into? If they did, do they nKnow how to correctly wire it. For an RV. They may have wired it for 220 vac not 110 vac. It they did misfire it, you may have several circuit boards blown.

    OP has the RV in a shop. Not doing the actual work.

    Westend, wrote the formula I would use. Tip, most inverters of that size use a DPDT PCB relay for power transfer. If the OP's system does NOT have a CONverter charging the batteries but relies instead 100% on the Freedom INverter to charge the batteries it means power is getting to inside the inverter. To make 12 volt charging power.

    Does the OP's rig have an independent CONverter doing his battery charging work? Time to investigate.
