Re: Roadtrek 190 Versatile TV outlets do not work
Thanks for all the info. I agree with the general consensus that there was an inverter that has been removed. In addition to the powerstrip that ends near the breaker, there are a couple of other wires that are loosely hanging out in there that are not connected to anything. Good advice on the 12V native TV, but in addition to the TV, we would like to drive a DVD player, a small coffee maker, and be able to charge a few electronic devices. I have let my father-in-law know all this stuff, and he has contacted the dealer to see what the price is. This RT also doesn't have a generator, and in my opinion, that would be the first priority. We have been out camping in it for the last few days, and a generator would have been a nice addition. But, it is his money, so we shall see ;) Thanks guys!548Views0likes0CommentsRe: Roadtrek 190 Versatile TV outlets do not work
Hey Arizona Kid, You mention that the inverter is missing. That could be true. If the RT is on shore power, then the outlets work, but if on battery power, or when the Chevy engine is running, the outlets do not function (this RT doesn't have a generator). Are you saying that when the Chevy engine is running, those outlets should work if we have an inverter? Thanks, Ryan548Views0likes0CommentsRe: Roadtrek 190 Versatile TV outlets do not work
Ok, got it working. Sure enough, the outlets in the media cabinet were nothing more than a small power strip that terminated in an electrical component area under the bed on the driver side. I found that the other end was not plugged in, nor was there anywhere in there to plug it in, so I am not sure why this power strip was installed, but it seems OEM since it runs through the wall. Anyway, in all that poking around, I found another receptacle. It was mounted on the underside of the media cabinet, right next to some access holes, so I was able to run the power cables through there and plug them in, and all was working well. Thanks for the ideas folks. I have learned a lot about this vehicle in the past 24 hours :)549Views0likes0CommentsRe: Roadtrek 190 Versatile TV outlets do not work
Well Jim, you were right about the outlet at the base of the passenger side doors. They are GFI, and those outlets do work. I reset it, and tried again, but no dice. At least I know about them now though, as I doubt I would have seen them otherwise. So, every outlet in the vehicle works except for the 3 in the media cabinet. Those 3 look like a mini power strip (as opposed to outlets in a wall) and the cord off of the power strip disappears into the wall. My best guess is that the other end plugs into something else, but so far, no luck finding it. Any other ideas? Otherwise, hopefully the dealer knows what to do.549Views0likes0CommentsRoadtrek 190 Versatile TV outlets do not work
My in-laws recently purchased a 2004 Roadtrek 190 Versatile on the Chevy chassis, and it did not include a TV. I mounted one today, and discovered the 3 outlets inside the media cabinet (to the left of the stove) do not work. The plugs over the bed as well as near the kitchen sink both work, but not these. I checked the fuse and it is good and I flipped the breaker, but no luck. Any ideas?6.8KViews0likes17Comments
