ok guys thanks a bunch your help was very good to have. here is what I have done , I took off the wires that go from circuit panel to heater element. then plugged into 30 amp shore power, turned on the frig to auto. then took my tester and looked at the power coming out of the circuit...

thank you very much for that info, today before I left for work I unplugged the frig from the outlet in the outside panel (behind the frig)I turned on the gas and plugged in the 30 amp to shore power. when I got home 9 hours later the frig was cold and the gfci did not trip. I plugged the frig...

yes I think its the frig, I can run everything in the camper off the camp ground pedestal 30 amp receptacle, but after I turn on the inside frig the breaker will trip in about 3 minutes. and yes I am using the 30 --> 15 adapter. only to trouble shoot the frig.

ok this is what I did this morning, I didn't get a tester yet so I ran a extension cord from gfci shore power box to the refrig. i turned the refrig to auto and it tripped the shore power gfci. this leads me to believe my problem is not the outlet, but somewhere in the refrig - - - Updated - -...

ok I can do that, thanks

yes, it did at the camp ground , but i haven't checked it at home. i did find out that even when running on lp gas it still has power to it , so yes it trips on lp. - - - Updated - - - i did that, those outlets are very cheap. they don't have screws to tighten . they are like a press in a clip...

hello everyone, its been a long time . but the problem I'm having is every camp site I go to , my camper keeps tripping the gfci , the main gfci that comes with the site. they put a non gfci breaker in and it doesn't trip.im not pulling to many amps , but its in the ground. i didn't realize I...

got my answer , thanks all. you people are great to have on hand , happy camping

thanks for the info, I quess I wasn't thinking about both ac & dc . your right on

when replacing a power converter , the wfco 8900 model. They sell 5 different amps 35, 45, 55, 65,75. does it matter what one I use ? the camper has a 30 amp plug but the old converter says it is a wf8955mba. the cost goes up the higher the amps . help me just one more time .

Re: hello camper folks, 12 volt question, needing answer please everything is good now, it wasn't the breaker but close. it was all the loose wires on the buss bar that they forgot to tighten at the factory . thanks everyone for the info it was a easy fix, I wish they all were that way .

Re: hello camper folks, 12 volt question, needing answer please the battery voltage is 13 v while hooked to shore power, I unplug the power cord and everything is dead so I check the battery with voltmeter and its down to about 10volts, thanks

I keep my camper hooked to shore power while at home with food in frig , I noticed my battery keeps dying down . I don't have anything else running but the clock on the stereo and the lp alarm or sensor . does the frig draw from 12 volt or the 110v . I am getting power back to battery from...

this sounds great but can i put one of these things on my 2011 2500 ram , I don't have any camera on this truck now. my uconnect plays video dvd now, but not while driving

well I set it up and pulled it over the weekend . felt better not as much bounce,,,, but on the return trip it was raining and when I was pulling from a stop light , well the back tires want to spin on wet pavement. I might want some more weight to the rear tires of truck. do you guys agree with...

I do want to thank everyone for the info , it was nice to know that I had help from good people on this site , thanks again now its time to go camping again , cant wait till friday

ok , well I feel pretty stupid right now. I went out first thing today and was not going to give up till I found the problem. i was starting at the battery again 12v but that was all just 12v not a bit more .I thought it should read a little higher seeing how It was still hooked up to shore...

I wish it was easy, its driving nuts thank god for warranty , called dealer today and told them everything I have done , and they want to know if I a job working for them . I dont know how to test circuitry

did that bob

while hooked up to shore power if I flip off the breaker marked gfi everything in the camper turns off. but if I go in the bathroom and push the test button on the gfi plug it doesn't shut everything off . and I do have 12v power to the circuit board its just not going thru the circuit board...

cool, now we are getting somewhere , thank you, I have been having to raise it about 4 inches to get the bars in place . I just reset the head it was about 2 inches higher than the trailer. now they are just about the same, while unhooked. I will finish up tomorrow getting dark, but thanks

well your round bar hookup doesn't use chains does it? how high are u lifting up on your tongue when hooked to the trailer to get the bars in place

I had to buy a new shank also , my new truck sits higher than my old f150 did, I picked it up for about 200.00 online but mine is also longer sticking out , that way I can open my tailgate while hooked up

well I checked everything again today , still no 12v power. good battery , good buss bar connections , manual reset button not tripped , power to fuse box circuit board good on the big red and white wires from battery. the shore power still works everything but when I unplug it nothing works ...

yes it is loaded right. I think I have to much tension on the bars or the head angle is tilted to much . I really have to raise the set up pretty high to get the bars locked in place

idid not see 3 small fuses on the converter

the hitch I have is e2 by fastway. it is a trunnion bar wdh, sorry for the mix up

I also purchased a longer shaft for the head , it has plenty of adjustment now. and it is longer also , that way it sticks out farther so I can open the tailgate while hooked up to tt. but on my hitch I have no chains. and the problem I am having is it feels bouncy while driving. that makes me...

checked all fuses and breakers even used a continuity tester

I will do that today, thanks

my tow vehicle is a 2011 2500ram , 4x4 diesel , I just got a 27foot tt 6502 dry weight trail runner. I have a e2 by fastway wdh 10000lbs max . without chains. when I pull down the highway it always feels bouncy .do I have to much tension on the bars or not enough. the truck is only dropping...

I don't think I have a battery cutoff switch . and I was inside the camper when the power went out. we were getting ready to leave the campground and my son turned on the water pump switch on the bathroom wall where the water heater switch and battery level , black water , gray water , fresh...
