Electrical Question
The two kitchen 110 outlets are putting out low power--around 92 volts. I have fiddled around with the electrical system for a couple of days and have concluded that the circuit breaker is not the problem, and interestingly enough, the bathroom 110 GFI outlet, which is on the same circuit, reads 112 volts. I have dropped all power off of the coach; checked every fuse, and followed the wiring as much as I can with nothing unusual found. Anyone had a similar problem, or any good ideas before I schedule our PA into the dealer?
Had the same problem and it almost caused a fire, it did melt the outlet. If your wiring is the same as my 37C, the circuit runs from the breaker to the GFI outlet in the bathroom, then goes to the outlet inside your water/electric basement compartment outside. Then it runs to a junction box in the kitchen slideout wall then to the kitchens outlets. (As you can see I had fun tracing this)
My problem was the outlet in the water/electric basement compartment. The hot wire came loose and was shorting out inside the outlet box. I would check there, Fleetwood used a cheap outlet and the wire just came out. Then I would check inside the junction box behind the slideout wall. I had to remove the wood inspection plate then started bring in the slideout until you see the junction box.
saber,
Sorry, I am on the road and just re-read my post. After the wires goes to the metal junction box in the wall, there it splits with one wire going to the kitchen outlet and the other wire goes to the outlet in the basement compartment under the kitchen.
Let us know how this works out.
