    Island AC outlets went out at same time

    I do. I have 2 outdoor GFCI protected plugs that are daisy chained to the main GFCI plug in our bathroom. There is also one in the universal docking station and one in the storage/garage. All of them work fine. I know they are all daisy chained to that bathroom plug because when I turn off...

    Island AC outlets went out at same time

    To reiterate, I've verified the following using my DVM. All non GFCI plugs work. I have one GFCI double outlet in the bathroom that is daisy chained to the following protected outlets: 2 outside plugs on the doorside, 1 inside my storage, 1 in the UDC and 2 outlets on the kitchen island. Only...

    Island AC outlets went out at same time

    Ok. I went ahead and tried that. Nothing looks bad behind the GFCI. Testing with the DVM directly on the wires are good. After reinstalling, both plugs in that one GFCI outlet give me 120 volts.

    Is a 50 amp switch enough for a typical slide-out?

    Here's a pic of my current 50 amp breakers, which are attached to a bus in succession with around 6, all close together in a horizontal line. Looking at 80 amp breakers on Amazon, I don't see any that look like they would fit. Do you have to improvise to get that larger amp working?

    Is a 50 amp switch enough for a typical slide-out?

    Less than 2 years ago, after owning my Landmark 365 for 5 years, my slideouts started getting that same intermittent, start/stop issue I've read many people have issues with here on this forum. So I bought (4) 50 amp switches off Amazon and put one on and it has worked until now. This was the...

    Island AC outlets went out at same time

    No solution yet. The breaker controlling the 2 outlets on the kitchen island also controls the outlet in the bathroom as it is marked GFI and must be daisy chained together. I removed both outlets on the island and checked for problems. Look good. I used a DVM to check the voltage on the...

    Island AC outlets went out at same time

    I should have mentioned this earlier, but I did install new deep cycle batteries about a week ago. But I have no idea if that is related. We also have unseasonably cold weather as it hit the teens the night before the outlet started failing.

    Island AC outlets went out at same time

    I removed the plate over the breaker box and checked all wire connections. All appear, clean, connected and nothing burnt. I turned the power off and pulled out the outlet from the wall and could see no visual damage, loose wires nor burning. Pretty stumped now. Thanks for helping.

    Island AC outlets went out at same time

    One other interesting thing I noticed. It may be nothing since I'm not an electrician. When I tested the AC outlets with the DVM, plugging the black tester in the larger rectangular hole on the outlet and the red on the right rectangular side of the outlet, I get what I said, '20-30 volts'...

    Island AC outlets went out at same time

    I checked the basement. No GFCI's that I could see. However, in the front compartment is the inverter, which does have a GFCI. It looked good. I went ahead and unplugged the inverter and turned off the battery connection. Then put it all back on and turned the inverter on to reset. Still...

    Island AC outlets went out at same time

    We moved locations in our 2017 Landmark 365, driving a little over 250 miles. Plugged in a Heat Dish to one of the outlets on the kitchen island and after 1 hour, the outlet stopped working. Checked 2nd outlet on the other side of the island and it is no longer working either. The one and...

    Battery connection schematic, diagram or pic for LM365

    FYI, I got this resolved. Once I figured out the extra wire (#5) was an additional ground wire (thanks to someone at Heartland in customer service, I attached it to the negative battery. Then I turned on the inverter, pressed the GFI that had tripped and I have off shore power. So my 2017...

    Battery connection schematic, diagram or pic for LM365

    Thank you. I'll have to pick one up. We never dry dock but occasionally, power goes out at places we travel to and the double battery set-up was invaluable to us. In fact, we were in far south Texas in 2021 when ice took out power for 2 days. I was able to occasionally run my truck and...

    Battery connection schematic, diagram or pic for LM365

    Yes. And thank you for replying. Let me know if these 3 pics are clear enough. The middle pic with the blue holder and white wire is currently not attached as that is the wire that got moved around and I'm not sure if it goes positive or negative on the battery. Right behind it, you can see...

    Battery connection schematic, diagram or pic for LM365

    looking at the diagrams in the docs, you should have a negative wire going directly into the inverter and a negative wire going to the frame. on the positive side, you have 2 wires making their way to the battery shut off switches. I think when I took off the box, 2 wires got knocked around...

    Battery connection schematic, diagram or pic for LM365

    I'll take a closer look at the document, but my parallel connections look good. The problem may be associated with the residential refridge connection or 100 amp fuse. I just finished looking at this document and it says to check the 100 amp fuse...

    I have a 2017 LM 365 charleston. Looking for a diagram or pic of where the wires connect to the top of my 27dcm group of batteries I just bought from Costco, to make sure they are connected correctly. New batteries are not working and the 'remote' swtich inside no longer turns on. While...

    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...

    Sewer smell in camper after packing up and moving

    We have been on the road for 4 weeks now. The last 2 times we have traveled, we smell a sewer smell inside the 5th wheel when 1st entering it. This time, the smell is persisting. I clean the black water tank out very well each time before beginning the next leg of our trip. Rinsing out the...

    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

    ok. Did as you suggested yesterday. all connections secure inside the reel. Took a blow dryer to it for 15 minutes in case that rainstorm got something wet inside. But I saw no visible wet spots. I let it dry out and tried again this morning. still tripping immediately after trying the 50...

    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...
