Phoenix Cruiser 2551 30a service
- First noticed it when A/C turns on then stumbles. Voltage at another RV outlet dropped well below 100. Capacitors good. A/C working fine until this point. A/C did trip ITS 20a breaker one time. 30a main held.
- Problem persists when disconnected from shore power and generator running. Main indicator this is an RV wiring problem not shore power delivery system.
- Thermostat threw an E1.
- Inverter monitor behind driver seat threw an E2 and E5.
- Can turn on toaster at one outlet voltage drops 3v
- Can turn on hot water heater voltage drops 3v
- Hooked up a 15a draw elect device drops 5v
- System wide problem
- Checked connections at transfer switch, socket for shore power, junction where old EMS used to be, mains in RV breaker panel. Checked neutrals, grounds and feeds. All tight.
Shore power is my RV lot shop. I can find no voltage issues there even under load. Problem is on the load side of the RV sidewall shore power connector. Even tried different cables and installed a new 30a breaker.
Am I missing any 120v main connections in the RV not listed above?
Iโm stumped.

If it only happens when on generator and it's an on-board generator I would check the wiring of the generator. As someone stated it could be broken cable strands from the generator to the transfer switch. I would try a new cable from generator to transfer switch.

YOu said "Not a park problem" but how did you determine that.
Now.. measure voltage at park 120 NO LOAD
plug in and fire up water heater (A safe load for testing) Voltage 110.. Park problem.. (Measure voltage at the other outlets on the park pedestal not in the RV)
Other posiblities if a 50 amp RV you may have a weak/open neutral
OR you might have a bad connection the list of suspects here starts with the plug.
Bright and shiny or near black blades (Polish 'em up)
Connections inside the plug if not molded and welded connections
The outlet end of the cord where it hookes to the RV (If detachable) and the RV's INlet (Same song as the plug)
THe connection to the Auto Transfer switch (Both in and out) if any
The connection to the main distro panel and the Main breaker itself.
In short anywhere current flows.
Electricity is like water in a hose.. If at any point the hose is "pinched' or some idiot put a flow restrictor in a fitting.. LOW FLOW.

Could also be the compressor is failing. Get an amp draw on the air conditioner.
