Re: Electrical assistance
Hi! Thank you for your feedback. When i brought the trailer home, after getting it inspected by a third party, the first thing I did was retrace what the inspection entailed and replaced bulbs with leds. Because the trailer had not been used for not sure how long, the battery was shot (2011) and there was no propane. I plugged it into my home electric service and the pump (no water), lights worked. I kept refrig plugged in overnight and it was cool in morning but not great. According to inspection report water pump was gone, although when i had system plugged in it was running. The converter was humming away as well. Besides replacing interior bulbs, I unhooked the battery and disconnected the propane tank. I removed and replaced the 1996 water pump with a 2023/4 equivalent. I took out refrigerator and replaced it with equivalent and removed the tail lights and replaced them with led lights. Before replacing the tail lights i tested them to confirm they worked and they did. All that replaced I turned on the refrig and it did not work, neither did the water pump or the tail lights. Checked the fuses and they are fine, but they are original from when I purchased the trailer. The only electrical items working are the inside now are lights, the electrical out light by table. Nothing else is going on. By the way, I am excluding furnace because I wanted to get everything up and running and feel I do not need the heating system to travel. I may or may not ever get to it!! The trailer is on a 4 pin connection to car. My car is a 2007 Dodge Durango suv. I got trailer weighed and it came in at 2200 lbs. Let me know if I should clarify anything or provide more details. Any info you can or anyone can provide is greatly appreciated.796Views1like1CommentRe: Info on my travel trailer please
Hi ! I just purchased a Weekend Refuge in Texas. It needs work and electric is one of my projects. Like all that own one of these trailers, I cannot find a manual and could use one for tracking electrical problem. Since you took over a 13 year in storage Weekend Refuge do you or do you know where I can find a manual or electrical diagram? thank you1.1KViews1like0Comments
