Re: Smoked at the Pedestal Need Help (long post)
Thanks for all the input to my problem. I did buy a battery charger andn an VOM. I get all lights, miocrowave, and GFI receptacles. The converter is not working and the refer is not working on gas or electric. Also, the TV light comes on but no picture. I am on my last day to destination Colorado Springs and will be doing some maintenance. Does anyone have an idea how I should approach the refer problem? Thanks again.

I plugged into 50 Amp at a reputable CG. After dinner we took the dog for a walk. When we returned the lights were out and I had a sick feeling that my entire unit was smoked. After a fast check I quickly noted the converter, refer, 37" TV, and the fireplace were all smoked. I asked the CG manager to check his pedastal. Needless to say no problem with it. My dilema is a question regarding the converter. A fellow camper said because the converter is not working, it's probably causing the display to loose 12V to run the circuit to turn the display on. I checked the two fuses in the refer circuit card. Both fuses are good. I have a 55amp chinese converter and a Dometic refer in a two yesr old Forest River fiver. Can anyone out there tell me what direction to take to get the converter and refer working? I'm not close to any dealers, mobile service or a Camping World. Thank you. Steve3.2KViews0likes11Comments
