I have a 2017 Newport, and the reel connection for me is on the left side of the reel. You have to remove the J metal if yours is the same. The other place to check is the transfer switch if yours is pre-wired for a generator. Ours is behind the bulkhead in our main storage area. Sent from my...

I did this on my 2017 Newport. I have a generator compartment and transfer switch that controls the source. Shore power is primary, but whichever is on is the power sent to the panel. That way, you can have a small generator to extend battery life. The point I'm getting to is that the transfer...

I get it when you have two AC units and a microwave, a coffee maker, and a dryer. We have 3 rooftop AC units (2 are heat pumps) and all of the above so 30 amps is not enough. Not too bad overnight, but long term it could cause issues. Having a dual phase 3000 watt inverter with 600 amps of LI...

I wonder if having two legs or one leg of 220 feeding the RV would be a problem. I would be concerned if you have a 220 volt transfer switch and get both feeds from the same leg. In the service panel. Same concern if you have a dual phase inverter. It's not likely that you would get one leg...

Get a few different ones to have flexibility. 50 to 30 and 30 to a Y 110 20amp. Go both ways and you cover everything you need to use any source. Walmart has the best prices. Buy online. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Please look at a Power Watchdog or similar product. It would have saved you a lot of grief and will protect your RV from voltage problems like this, but more frequently, low voltage, which will shorten AC and other appliances' lives. I lost three AC's before I got mine. Sent from my SM-N986U...

If it's is the reel contactors. You could get a watchdog that has a Bluetooth app that will tell you if it's you or the shore power. I edited a larger post about the reel contactors, and it deleted the whole thing. The reel cassette manufacturer may sell a rebuild kit, and if that's the...

Pictures would help. If they are the same as my 2017 Newport, it's a breeze. Take out the screw at each end and slide them off, and slide the new ones on. I hope nobody sealed them to the unit. Not necessary. Buy generic on Amazon but look at the ratings. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Man, that check was so basic that I missed it. Thanks. You nailed the best question. Are any 110 volt outlets working? Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

With a Watch Dog it should cut all power. Without, you can lose one leg and it may be the one that powers AC units. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Also, I'm not sure if newer RV'S use GFCI recepticals ahead of the AC unit. That wouldn't have been done on the RV'S I used to build. I would check that. Is the RV 30 or 50 amp? Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

If it didn't blow, then it could be the breaker to the AC circuit. Also, check power to the thermostat. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Two going out at once makes me think of a power surge. Do you have a Watch Dog on the RV? Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

I've had good service with Cooper Roadmaster tires on my Newport, it's around 19,500#. They are truck tires, if I'm not mistaken. My rims are 17.5" but I'm sure they have 16" too. Also fairly reasonable. I got them through co-op in Nebraska in 2021 after my two of my Sailun tires blew. Sent...

Whatever you do, skip Progressive. They left me as they said, "You're on your own" at 10:00 pm on a Friday, after calling them for help with a flat on my FW at 3:00. They couldn't find a service to do it for their price and kept upgrading service reps and pay until they ran out of options...
