Do you have power to both legs?

Try turning off all of the breakers & then turning them on, one at a time. Also, you could have a loose connection in your shore power plug or the inlet wiring into the coach? Has it been plugged in all the time? If you show -0- amps on one leg, you are only getting 120 volts into the coach system, not 240. This assumes you are plugged into a 240 volt 50 amp service? If you are plugged into 120 volt 30 amp service, you have a problem in your plug or in the main breaker box. Try turning off the "Main" breakers & then turn them back on to see if that solves your problem.

My 94 has one green for each leg , I think it says Polarity?? if only one is on, unplug the bus and shut down the park 50 amp service then switch it back on, and plug in again.

But I manually trip those breakers and reset them Ernie Ekberg 83PT40 Livingston,Montana ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert & Teri Rahn To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, February 09, 2007 6:30 PM Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] power problem on 88 pt 40 we just returned to our bus and there is a problem with the power. seems that all the electrical in the front of the bus is off. the lights and heater work in the bathroom the water heater works and some of the lights in the bedroom work, also it sounds like the battery charger is on. the lights at the shore power connector are normal. any ideas on what i need to check? i checked the breaker box and they seemed fine. thanks Robert Rahn 88 pt 40 Kalispell, Mt. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] power problem on 88 pt 40 - Gregory OConnor - 02-09-2007 14:11 For a night time fix, I would just shut down all the brakers except the on that runs the hotwater and the battery chargers then turn on the inverter. If it is a loose wire in a cord or park box, it may be best to find it in the light of Day. GregoryO'Connor 94ptRomolandCa |
