Newbie ~ electrical problem

Without knowing more, I'd suggest that you take it back in and have the dealership check it out from end to end. This sounds like an electrical issue, which should not happen on a new camper. Sometimes there are things that are missed by the manufacturer and the dealer, and if you've found one of those you need to have them fix it properly while you still are under warranty or it could cause problems down the road that you have to pay for yourself. More importantly, you obviously have an electrical issue and that mean potential fire - a very dangerous thing, and nothing to be trifled with. If this were my camper I would take it back as soon as possible and have the dealer first check everything and then do another walk-through with me so that I knew that I had all of the details right on how to use everything. I'd also take note for future reference, just in case. In the pouring rain, at night, in an unfamiliar campground is no place to be wondering how to finish setting up for the first time :)
