Shore Power??
Hey guys, new to RV'ing and have a quick question. I have done some research regarding this, but most of the things I'm finding pertain to different amperage and which type of adapters to use.
I have a Lance Lite 815 which uses a 30 amp connector. With the battery disconnected, I attached the truck campers power connector to the 30/15 amp adaptor and plugged it into a standard household outlet. Went to turn on a light to check for power, and nothing. Then I plugged the power cord and adapter into my Yamaha 2000 watt generator, and once again, nothing.
Then I connected the battery to check to make sure I didn't blow any fuses, and everything worked fine.
I need some help on understanding how shore power works. Does the battery need to be connected for shore power to work? My thoughts tell me that the power received from an outlet or generator would be used to charge the battery constantly? Orshould the shore power work indecently from the battery? Thanks for the help in advance
