Electrical Issue
So we opened up the camper today and found we had an electrical problem. When plugged into shore power only the microwave would turn on. So, I figured maybe the battery needed to be replaced. So o...

Head scratcher... Maybe a bad connection somewhere that is intermittent? Take a voltmeter and check the voltage to ground from each 120 volt breaker in the panel and make sure each circuit is working at the panel. I found one totally loose wire at a breaker in our KZ TT. Check ALL connections at the converter/panel for tightness. Make sure incoming 120 volt 30 amp connections at the panel are good. 120 volt issues like microwave only working should not be affected by the 12 volt system like that.
I don't have a voltmeter, but I will pick one up later to try what you've suggested.

Maybe whoever added the 2nd AC caused something?
I suppose, but we used this same set up without issue last year...

BTW, you may find it a problem to run two AC units at once on 30 amp, especially if the voltage gets too low. What is the voltage at the panel in the trailer when connected to the house? Low voltage in CGs is a common problem.
Ok...so my second AC runs on its own 20 amp (don't know if I'm saying this right). Would I be better off trying to run everything from my 50 amp with a converter for my 30 amp power chord?
Thanks again!!
