I got the generator running good now. The inverter is on the storage compartment wall with the generator on the other side of the wall from it.1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: WW toy hauler electrical
Well he had the plug there so I was assuming that it was correct since he has a 5th wheel but I won’t be doing that again. But I did it and know it’s correct now. On To another question about the converters in the trailer. There are 2 and one is a smaller one on the inside by the breaker box and then there is another one in the storage area that is larger so I know nothing about these or when they are used or when they kick in. Can someone give me a little bit of information on them? The guy I got the trailer from was no help. Thanks1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: WW toy hauler electrical
It was on the house outlet that I plug my trailer into, they installed A 50 amp outlet but they used just a standard 14/2 wire for me to plug into so they are the hot and neutral and then the ground wire so that only made it a 30 amp service with a 50 amp plug. I don’t know what they were thinking but I’ll have to look at his trailer and see why he did that but I needed a true 50 amp Service since I have two ACs refrigerator a washer dryer and all the other stuff and I couldn’t figure out why my second I see the bathroom plugs in an outside plug wasn’t working and my girlfriend kept telling me she smelled electrical and I couldn’t find anything or smell anything and I just happened to check the plug and pull it apart1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: WW toy hauler electrical
I found out what the problem was, they had a 50 amp plug but they use a household current 14/2 to run it so it was basically 30 amp To a 50 amp outlet and it was straining everything and wire was getting hot started to melt my plug So I went down and got a new plug for my RV and some 6 gauge wire And re-wired it myself properly, I normally don’t like to mess with wiring but being a general contractor I do it when I really have to but since I moved I didn’t have a electrician that I normally use but at least I know it’s done correctly this time. Guess I got lucky that it didn’t burn my RV up but now everything is working again properly.1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: WW toy hauler electrical
Well that didn’t take care of the problem but when I pulled the plug out there was some build up kind of a fungus in there so water had been getting into the plug so I’m gonna go ahead and change the plug out because the connections are all kind of corroded but the other thing my girl told me because we’ve been doing the work on it and she was there Sunday doing some work in the bedroom she had the AC on But then yesterday she was there finishing up the work and the AC wouldn’t come on so all this happened at the same time I believe so I’m gonna need to track that down too1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: WW toy hauler electrical
You know it could be because of the outlet outside the door because that one is not working also and I did have the cover open with something plugged into it when it rained. So that’s probably the culprit so I will blow it out with my air compressor when I get home and see if that fixes the issue.1.2KViews0likes0CommentsWW toy hauler electrical
The other night the breaker tripped On the electric panel I’m plugged into so I reset it and my 2 bathroom plugs still are not working and I tried to reset the GFI outlet but it still will not reset. All the fuses are good and no breakers in the 5th wheel are tripped. I ran out of ideas on what it could except for the possibility of the actual GFI plug itself. 4005 FLT5.7KViews0likes16CommentsRe: Weekend Warrior ft4005
Does anyone know how deep you can go with the awning? The guy I got it from said it was replaced new when he got it but it is about 18” short on each end. To me it does seem to go out very far, maybe 6’ and I would like to get it the biggest I can and the dealer just keeps saying that they all are standard and go out the same distance but I disagreed with him telling him that I think someone bought it off someone else just to put it on to sell it.936Views0likes0Comments
