Powerline Energy Mangaement System

I have a 36c Brave and have the Powerline Energy Management System. I have left the RV plugged in all winter long and have had power to the RV all that time. Went out today and the light on the System where it lists how much amps your using is fading and then just out. I still have power to the Microwave, TV's, A/C. Could it just be a fading light or if I run A/C, Microwave, etc long enough will I loose power? I will try in a little while (still early here) to start generator and see if the lights come on.

I do have electricity to the outlet the RV is plugged into. Thanks for any suggestions.

Just a quick follow up. I finally had time to get back out the RV. It looks like it was a moisture problem. I must of had a bit of a leak because as I was unscrewing it from the wall, there was quite a bit of moisture. I didn't feel any wetness on the walls though. I know it's been really humid here lately and we've had a couple of really bad rain storms.

I'm gonna leave unscrewed from the wall and keep an eye on it. I still have full power, just the light that tells me how many amps comes in and out.

Thanks for the reply.
