    50 amp cord trips the 50 amp breaker on the camp ground box

    The problem was due to a burned out transfer switch. It looked like it caught fire, which is a bit troubling to say the least. Since we are talking about a new 5th wheel, the tech said it looked like a wire not being properly secured during time of manufacturing. We also had a break spring...

    Sewer smell in camper after packing up and moving

    The odor dissipated after a few hours. So we closed all the windows the next morning and left for the expecting the odor to return. Nothing. It's been almost 5 days now and the odor has not returned. We leave this site again in 3 weeks so I have to wonder if it is a travel related...

    thank you and to all who replied. I gave it my best shot. Leaving to another camp ground this morning to an area that is more populated. If the same problem persists, on Monday morning, I'll make plans to have a professional look at it. I will respond back after the issue is corrected so...

    50 amp cord trips the 50 amp breaker on the camp ground box

    I tried the 50 amp again this morning and same results. Immediate trip at the pedestal. So I cut the power and did a visual inspection of the wires (taking off the panel) inside the reel canister. The 4 wires seem to be dry but I'm going to leave power off and see if things dry out today as...

    50 amp cord trips the 50 amp breaker on the camp ground box

    to answer the last 2 posters, I have a reel. As far as it working with the 30 amp connector, everything is working. No breaker trips. I have not turned on the a/c's however. No need to in Northern NM. But everything works: residential a/c, lp water heater, lights tv etc. I'll get out and...

    50 amp cord trips the 50 amp breaker on the camp ground box

    No generator. That's something we will add later. Another curious thing I noticed this morning is on the lcd control panel in the trailer, it says all things are on. All 3 acs, both water heaters, etc. But we are just using the LP water heater at present. I don't now if it is related but...

    50 amp cord trips the 50 amp breaker on the camp ground box

    New trailer. Landmark 365 Charleston. This is the 2nd stop on our adventures as we travel from TX -> NM -> CO. Within 15 minutes of hooking up the 50 amp power cord, the camp ground breaker on the box tripped. I shut all power off the camper and still, breaker trips every 2 or 3 seconds after...

    Awning retraction makes horrible screeching noise

    Thanks for the replies. I'll try the lubricating and see if it works. The trailer is level, using the slick auto leveler system. So hopefully, that is not the issue. As luck would have it, last night right after my post, the electrical system started acting funny all the outlets stopped...

    Awning retraction makes horrible screeching noise

    We just purchased a new Landmark 365 Charleston with 2 Awnings that auto retract/extract. On this particular model, during the walk through, the tech did not show us the extract/retract process so I do not know if this is a normal noise or not. No noise was made on the models we checked out...
