No Power - Unplugged from Shore Power

[Tizi]

Just got my camper set up after being covered all winter. The camper was plugged in with a small heater running to keep it from freezing. About 18 months ago I installed an upgrade to the converter/charger in my 2007 NL camper (PD4655 - 55 AMP Converter) from Best Converters. It worked great until I unplugged yesterday. I have no power when off of shore power. When plugged in, the batteries are getting charged and are totally full of charge. What could be causing this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

It was the pigtail after all! I took it apart and rewired it. Everything works now!!!

Also, you might want to start a new thread. Changing focus in the middle of an existing thread is nigh on impossible. People will read the first post and respond to that.

Clearance lights and rear running lights. Blinkers and stopping lights work.

In that case, ignore my suggestion. I was referring to the outside "flood" lights, not the running lights.

Are the runnings lights on for the truck and is the truck running?

If not that it's probably the wire that goes to the running lights, the plug isn't in all of the way, or the ground. I guess you could have a switch of some type, but that's more unlikely.

Yes, the truck lights all work when running and when not running.

How do I check the ground?

My Northstar has an inside switch that turns power on and off to the outside lights. With it off, the switch on the outside lights appears to do nothing. Any chance you have something similar.

This is entirely possible. I have a switch like that, not sure if it controls the outside lights or not.

it was the battery cut off switch for camper. However, my exterior lights are not working. I checked the fuses in the camper, had the pigtail tested, and my truck checked. Any ideas?

Any chance you hooked the battery up wrong? My converter has fuses for reverse polarity protection

[Tizi]

Will try the switch when I get home. Does anybody know if there is could be an inline fuse at the batteries?
