No power
My 2002 Monaco Windsor is parked at home in 0 degree weather. I turned the heat pump on 40 degrees to keep it thawed. I just went out to check and I found no power. I've got 50 amps going to the m/...

Why would a 2,000 watt inverter be wired into a heat pump circuit?
Its not. He just has 2 problems. Doug
Doug, That's what I was wondering. I couldn't imagine them being fed from the inverter but I didn't know. Does the a/c/heat-pump wire straight into the 120-volt circuit panel and it is not controlled by the inverter. I don't have aqua-hot. I have ran extension cords and am using small space heaters to keep water from freezing.
Sunday morning, I had about 15 power outages that were only out for about 3 to 5 seconds which may have caused the problems. Have you ever seen "welded contacts" as a fault?
NO Aqua Hot? VERY unusual. I cannot remember when any of the hi line Monacos from 20 years ago did NOT have the optional Aqua hot. So same scenario, when the Ambient temp drops below 36/38 degrees the furnaces will automatically start and run, as long as the LP is turned ON. Your model should also have the 12 volt water bay heater that is turned on by a tstat switch mounted in the water bay inner wall, when the temp in the bay goes below 34 degrees. BUT, you MUST have that Heater switch turned ON. the switch is on the inside by the monitor panel display board. Now, to your question. NO OEM will ever run a roof AC or HP thru the Inverter/charger. Monaco did not. So, any loss of 120 power to the roof HP's is not caused by the Inverter/Charger. You DO have a Intellitec Energy Management System(EMS) that the roof HP's 120 power does go thru. THIS system can kill 120 power to the roof HP's if it is malfunctioning, but the Inverter will not cause such a problem. Your EMS wall display will show the status of the Power to the roof HP's.
