We had a Surge Guard hardwired into the rig and it died and so did all the power until we could get it removed. Surge Guard replaced it without question, but in the meantime Don decided that he wanted the one that plugs into the pedistal so that if it died he could just unplug it and have power...

Checking in... Once again, thanks to everyone for all of your input. Doug, I had already done the things that you suggested and to no avail. Today I called a couple of electrical companies who advertised solar, but none had any experience with a rig like this. So I called our trusty mobile...

OK, so I've got a heater running in the storage compartment, with the panel to the water pump, etc open. I've got a heater running in the bedroom and I'm going to call it a night and hope for the best upon waking up. I'll tackle the solar problem tomorrow. "I can't think about that right...

Oh, and will it override the solar system?

I've got a 2000 watt Honda gen. If I disconnect from shore power will it be enough to run the furnace?

1. I think only the one outlet in the washer/dryer area. (If I understand the question correctly) 2. We got the trailer in July 2007 and had the system installed pre-delivery. 3. I'm a female alone (Don died in July) and no I don't have a clue what to disconnect, but you tell me and I'll...

Thanks Marv, I agree that it is probably not wired correctly, but the system was installed before we tool possession, and supposedly by a professional that did the big motorhomes. Water under the bridge now. Your panel sound very simular to mine, though not exact. Trouble is that my panel is...

Also, I do have one outlet in the washer/dryer area that is not on the system so I can keep the bedroom warm. That leaves the tanks and pipes in the cold though. If I open the sliding panel that is in the storage compartment and put a heater in there, running straight from the 15amp outlet on...

I've got a battery charge, but where do I hook it? I've got four batteries in the compartment?

On second look I don't think my batteries are charging. I just took the drain off of them and they flashed back up to 11.0 and 11.1. I guess I'm just not going to have power until morning and have to hope for a sunny day and no frozen tanks, yeah right, who am I kidding, I'm in NE PA?

Thanks Marv, or is it Karen? I think I get what you're saying, but at this moment it has shut down and I can't get it started back up. Better explanation... the light panel that shows my battery status it just starting to light up again and the batteries are starting to charge from shore...

I agree, but I'm not finding it. I still had the cell number of the guy who installed it and called him, but he no longer has that number. At this point I'm just trying not to panic.

Well, here it is, just 10 minutes later, 23 degrees outside, and I just got a Fault 135 - System Shut Down! Now I have no power to the unit at all and this is not good. The system shut down due to low batteries. There has got to be a way to bypass this lousy solar system!

First, I admit to being a solar idiot. Here is my problem... It appears that the power usage in my Landmark comes first from the solar system, before pulling from shore power. I am in PA and it's cold here, so I am running two electric heaters as well and keeping the propane thermostat set at...

Thanks to all for your help. I think I have this one straight now, but I'm quite sure there will be more questions later.
