Unknown power use by my fifth wheel.
We just purchased a Montana 2004. Currently someone is staying in it. My entire electrical is off-grid. I have the 5th Wheel plugged into my inverter. I have discovered that it is using about 160 watt...

I can't think of anything, that could be wired in to the main power buss and not on some other breaker
Except for a transfer switch
Does the FW have a installed generator
Or a while house inverter
160w is only 1.4 amps at 120v
Just about the right draw for the coil in used in the transfer switch relay
You need an electrician to check out the FW 120v circuits
If it is a transfer switch
Choices are
Rewire that function
Live with it
Or turn off all power and treat trailer like a tent
Not so good for the person living in it
