HELP, I'm in a jam

Glad to hear it was a simple thing. When we have hook-ups, no microwave display is a quick indictor to check the pole first.

All better, it kicked the breaker on the pole. It switched over to the battery and didn't miss a beat, except for no AC that is LOL. Thanks again everyone for your help.

I would do all of the above, especially check outside outlets gfci?

Can't be in to much of a Jam your at Disney.

Hi,

Is there a transfer switch?

Is the TT 50 amp or 30?

Good point Renee, my wife had a lot of stuff going.. Which could have kicked the breaker on the pole and the invertor switched over to the battery. I'm praying that's the case

When you say everything else electrical is working do you mean lights? Or lights, TV, etc.? If just lights, those can be running off your batteries.

Thank you for the fast and helpful responses. Everything else electrical is working fine, just lost the AC and microwave. We are finishing a late dinner now. When we get back I will check the GFI's, pull the breakers to examine, etc... If nothing works, I'll head over to Wally world to pick up an electrical prob and dig deeper

What you are describing points to you lost power to the camper. Either you tripped the main breaker inside the camper or out at the power post. Or the campground lost power.

The microwave and the AC unit are on different circuit breakers. AC on a 20 amp and microwave on a 15. I do not know your exact camper, but most are that way.

Also to note, your camper most likely is only setup on a 30 amp service. Running the AC unit uses a lot of power, at least 11 to 12 amps worth once it is past power up. If you attempt to run the microwave on hi for any length of time with the AC running with the compressor running, odds are high you will trip the breaker. This goes for running the HW heater on electric at 1,400 watts also.

These campers are not wired like a house that has good 200 amp service. Think of a camper as only able to power up one heat creating device at once. 1 hair dryer, 1 HW electric element, 1 toaster, 1 AC unit, 1 microwave and then you stay out of this issue.

The power convertor is using power all the time ~ 4 to 8 amps and more so if it is charging the battery. The fridge if you are running on 120 AC, is like having a 350 watt light bulb on using power. With those 2 units running, add a 3rd or 4th high power device and the breaker goes out. Especially if the CG has low voltage.

Hope this helps

Say hello to Mickey for us.

umm..... you did not hit the 12 volt kill switch near the door did you? thinking it was the somthing else switch?it is to save the battery in short storage situations ....but could give you grief it was bumped
