Power issues on 2005 KC Durango 5th Wheel
I just purchased my 2005 Durango from a private party, I have it set up and now I'm losing power in a strange way.
Here's the situation:
1. We have our AC and a few lights on. If we turn a light off, (any light), the AC goes off along with everything EXCEPT the microwave.
2. Bumps (closing cabinet doors, walking quickly) also seem to kill power. (I'm still not 100% convinced that the movement is the issue).
Here are the knowns:
1. There is no battery; I'm running on shore power - a 110 connection to a house. (however, I still have yet to find the battery kill switch).
2. Breakers do NOT trip when this happens. However, I can flip the main and A/C breakers off and on a few times and power returns.
3. When I turn the main breaker off, I'll see whatever lights were left on.. flash for a split second as power goes to them.
4. The first day I had it, there didn't seem to be an issue - (but I did just get it and I know next to nothing other than what I've spent time researching).
So, anyone know where I should start? How to test what's working? Could it simply be a bad breaker? Bad converter? Anything you can add to enlighten me would be extremely helpful.
