50 amp outlet/surge protector voltage error
First time, I apologize for the long post. I hope I can get some insight, because I am completely lost. I have an outlying shop that I installed a 50 amp outlet to using a 50 amp box with 6/3 copper wire. Testing it with a multimeter I get 120 on each leg and 240 combined, as well as 120 from the main breaker and 50 amp breaker. However, when I plug in my 50 amp surge protector it shows an error of "E2: Voltage over 132V". The weird thing is, when I plug my protector into a 50/30 dog bone with the 15 adapter the surge protector turns on with no issue showing 119V so I dont believe it's the protector. Any suggestions would be appreciated because after checking and changing neutrals and grounds and checking the same things over and over, I have no idea the next step and I really dont want to spend thousands having a company wire something in. TIA. For context I have a new GEARGO RV-04 50 amp surge protector.95Views1like7CommentsIdentify water heater
Looking at a used 2010 K-Z trailer. The owner passed away and his family is trying to sell it. But the owner's son and I couldn't get the water heater to work. Can anyone tell me where I could find information on this water heater and how to operate it? Thanks220Views1like9Comments12 volt does'nt work
i have a 2022 Forest River Flagstaff 21FBRS travel trailer. In 4 years we never had an issue until now. On our last trip, our 12 volt system stopped working (fridge, slide outs, lights, etc.). I made sure that the the battery disconnect switch was on. I checked circuit breakers. All okay. Once we got to our destination and plugged into shore power, everything worked. When we got back home I had the batteries checked. They were bad, so I bought new batteries. Still no 12 volt working. So I assume the problem is somewhere between the batteries and the the inside of the trailer. By the way, I tried the electric jack using only battery power and it works just fine. But I guess that is because it is directly connected to the batteries. Any suggestions on trouble shooting before I take it back to the dealer (which charges $165 per hour).64Views1like4CommentsTrouble turning my RV
Hello my name is Jazmin, my family and I just bought a 2007 Arctic Fox 990 “Silver Fox Edition’’ we bought it from a local family. Everything from the inside is in good condition, we struggle to learn how to use all the appliances because they didn’t have the manual book that comes with all the information. Right now we’re struggling on the switch to turn on the generator!! We try it few times and yes it turned on perfectly but today we did the game thing ( press the start button and push the little butterfly)it made a sound like it was about to turn on but then it stopped. It didn’t work at all! , I have looked everywhere( on the internet) to see if I can find a way to give us tips or show us what to do. Our general is Onan 2500 camp power, can anyone recommend any good resources that would help us with this situation!! I hope my message makes sense Thank you222Views1like11CommentsJayco 260BHW No Power w/ Battery, Shore or Vehicle connection.
Just bought a new Jayco 260BHW last year and everything worked fine. Brought it out of storage today and have no power to the unit. Tried connecting to shore power with no luck. Jack works fine. Battery was stored in the house and it measures good. I don't think there's a main power switch to kill everything, in that I disconnect the negative terminal on the battery after every camping trip last year. Checked breakers, fuses in panel under the fridge, but can't figure what's going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.66Views0likes3Comments- 776Views0likes8Comments
RV travel
I have an Atwood HE – 0601 fridge. It works great no issues. I just have a question about traveling with the refrigerator on LP is that OK to do? I’ve never done it before but I’m taking a long trip and wanted to leave the refrigerator running while traveling for 10 hours on the road.67Views0likes6CommentsHissing noise

Same as the sink light and radio either way when I turn something on the noise gets quieter what can I do to fix this??

My husband and I full timed for 5 years in a 34' Cougar and loved it. When we finally planted, we tried a TT with sway bars for all of about 2-3 trips and hated it. We're now looking at a Arctic Fox 29-5K fifth wheel for more elbow room. Before we take the plunge, has anything improved in travel trailer towing?988Views1like9Comments
