Power converter question
Hi, New to the forums. Just got our first TT. 2005 Dutchmen 26F. I've been upgrading it and redoing the inside. Everything was finished and we were ready to take her out on our first trip when all...

Ok. I guess I'm a little confused as well.
I have my TT hooked up to 120v external power. Everything worked like it was supposed to last week. Now all the 120v stuff isnt working. The way this whole panel is wired up is kind of confusing to me.
My battery was completely dead when i plugged the TT into shore power. If I disconnect my 120v source, all the 12v stuff works. So this tells me my battery is working.
Yes all correct Yes, correct to this point.
If I pull my breakers and test the bus bar behind them, I dont get any voltage at all there. You guys are saying that that bus bar should have 120v power all the time when connected to the house? The DC converter is connected to the breaker that is for the GFCI outlets in the TT. If my converter was bad, I would still have 120v, just all my 12v stuff would be gone once the battery drained......correct?
Are you still plugged into the house power at this point?
As long as I am connected to a 120v outside source, all my 120v stuff should work?
Yes
First, are you sure you still have 120 AC house power at the outlet? If you were plugged into a 15 amp outlet turning on the Air Conditioner and some other items at the same time may have tripped a breaker or GFCI in the house. Test the house outlet with a droplight or other appliance to ensure you have power there, and then if the trailer still isnt getting power check the breakers there.
