Today, while plugged, I started to lose power inside the RV for a few seconds up to maybe 45 seconds at time. Then everything would be good for another 15 minutes or another couple hours then it would happen again.
While this situation occurs, the items plugged in outlets wired to the inverter (like the microwave) will still function but everything else will be off.
What am i dealing with? Is it something that can be traced to the transfer switch?
My house batteries are new from last month.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
OP's post states that 120v in the coach is fine. I''m not sure that your microwave is running from the inverter or not, but not sure it matters. They problem you're describing is with the 12V systems. That's either the batts, or what's CHARGING the batts.
Put a DC voltmeter on the batts and take a reading. Unplug the coach and take the reading again, and tell us what you've observed.
