Been on two trips so far with the Landmark. Both times the GFCI has blown on the inverter when travelling. Yesterday I went to my storage lot, stationary Landmark not moving, GFCI blown on the Inverter. Running on Solar right now.
Called Heartland service spoke with a service advisor on the issue. He said you are going to have to find and troubleshoot the issue, take it to a Heartland Service Centre to have this done, I said my dealer is booking into August now. He stated any Heartland service centre. I said that really is not very helpful as the other two will not service non purchased Vehicles. Only one Landmark dealer in Ontario. I was respectful in tone, he hung up on me. Unacceptable!
I took it upon myself to do some testing tonight. Looked at transfer switch, all wiring is solid inside, checked for Neutral-Ground-Hot shorts. Checked the flat pack SJT to Romex connectors all good there as well.
Go to behind the drawer in the kitchen where the fridge is plugged into. The plug is bent sharp at right angle and creased really badly. They (someone at heartland) mounted the outlet on the wall one time wrong, mounted it a second time wrong again. The one screw was pulled out if the wall due to the drawer hitting the plug. I removed this from the wall and set on the floor behind the drawer, straightened out the lead cord for the fridge.
I need some help to monitor things while i manipulate the plug to see if this is the casue. My money is on this being the issue right now.
I will update this with pictures and findings. We travel tomorrow to the Ontario Rally, if it works all the way I believe I have found the issue.
At this point this Broadcast Engineer who has manufactured equipment and obtained CSA/ Ontario Hydro Special certification really wonders how Heartland electrical system can even comply with basic requirements with workmanship like this. This is not the first electrical problem I have encountered with this trailer, several more serious ones.
