Question about Freedom 458 Inverter
Hi, I have a 2003 Allegro Bus 35IP. It has the Xantrex 458 Charger/Inverter option. I may need to replace the Xantrex and I am trying to figure out some of the factory wiring, specifically regarding the output from the inverter. There appear to be 2 AC circuits (2 20 AMP romex wires) coming out of the Xantrex inverter. I cannot determine where these are fused or how they tie into the primary 120v system. The main 120v Fuse panel has no current through it when the inverter is on (makes sense as to not backfeed the inverter) - yet all the branches work and have power. So really I have two questions: Are there fuses for the 2 output circuts from the inverter, if so where are they located? How does the inverter outputs tie into the 120v system without energizing the main 120v fuse panel?
1999 Damon Intruder lost all power
I was on my way back from a long weekend. We were on the expressway and 30 minutes from home. My RV lost all power. The engine stopped, the dash was out, no steering, no breaks, nothing. Doing 55 MPH, I put it in neutral and tried starting, nothing. Luckily, we were able to get to the shoulder and come to a stop. I put it into part and tried to start. Again, nothing. Not even the electric break made noise when I turned on the ignition. Good thing for Good Sam. They arranged a tow truck and brought the RV home. Has anyone had an issue like this? Thoughts?
add 2nd battery
I have a 4 year old 5th wheel that I just bought and it has one battery that is AGM 
12v 110am @c100 12v 100am C20 it gets charged from a solar panel and I assume from my truck. My question is, can I just add one more battery that says AGM 
12v 110am @c100 12v 100am C20 and hook up the 2 positives and the 2 negatives or will it not get charged correctly or ? My goal is to just have a bit more battery life as inexpensively as possible. I don't boondock, but once a while I am a campground without electricity and stay for one night. I do have a generator but it would be nice if my batteries would keep my 110 fridge running most of the night with the inverter and batteries. I have a 40' 5th wheel. Thx
1991 Tioga Electrical Issue
Hi All, I am trying to help my buddy who is borrowing my Tioga and of course experienced problems his very first night of RV'ing! The power went out on the LEFT side of the stove-top range, meaning, the fan and light don't work now. (The stuff on the right of the rangetop are ok where you have the tank metering). The water pump works fine. At the same time, the socket in the loft area went out. We did a visual check of the fuses (and I know we should do a continuity test on them, as well) and they seemed ok, but I would greatly appreciate any suggestions beyond that. Thanks in advance for any help!
Hissing noise
Hey so I recently got displaced cause the hurricane and I got put into this small camper with my German Shepherd it's a jayco brand but that's all I know. It has a pop up tent like feature on the front of it. And this runs off a generator also but the noise is coming from the breaker box and when I turn the stove light on it gets quieter... 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?? Please email me at bubba88lusk@gmail.com or reply here
Partial power on 12V
2008 Okanagan 811SL truck camper, partial power on 12V Shore power works fine only for 110 circuits. Slide and water pump work on 12V, with or without shore power connected. Shutoff switch works properly, all 12V disconnects in the Off position. Batteries are charged, properly configured and connected. All 12V fuses, and AC breakers [ohm'ed] good in fuse panel and on power converter. Problem exists whether 7-blade connector is connected to truck [2007.5 Dodge Ram 3500 6.7] or not. New power converter installed, all 12V circuits functioned properly upon initialization and subsequently for several days prior to the new problem. All fuses on the converter [ohm'ed] good. This leads me to believe there's a power junction box between the fuse panel and the batteries, from which the slide and water pump draw their power leaving the balance of the 12V circuits on the fuse panel. I've not been able to locate such a box. Anyone who has seen or experienced this, please provide insights and/or a solution. Thanks in advance!Solar advice requested.
I am pretty good with electrical issues, but this solar stuff is new to me. New travel trailer Solex4 - 400 watt panel system TBB power - Mppt solar mate charge controller 100V-40A Inside the compartment where the controller and breakers are mounted, are a bundle of wires with cut off ends. Just cut flush with no wire nuts or anything else. Two 4 or 6 gage wires in Red and Black and one 10 or maybe 12 ga wire in white all bundled together with a tape tag reading "Solar". Then 2 more wires (6 ga?) one white and one black tagged Battery. Checked for power at each wire and find nothing. Using the "SWAG" method (scientific wild as* guess), I figure it's wiring for additional solar panels if you want to install them later, or am I way off track here?
