I've checked this disconnected from shore power - and the power is still coming out of the inverter/transfer switch. My refrigerator only has a single outlet to it. But let me ask this (because I really don't know) ... where is the logic built in that says "once shore power is disconnected...
david-steph2018 - thanks for the reply. Yes - I have 110v coming out of the transfer switch. I haven't done much to trace the wiring out of the transfer switch (it one output (load) and it goes into a Molex connector. That's where I verified there is in fact 110v coming out. I didn't really...
In my experience with multiple gray tanks, one is dedicated to the kitchen and the other is for the shower and bathroom sink(s). The food coloring idea is a pretty solid way to find out though.
I thought I had a bead on this problem. The symptoms are exactly the same as CGRoll's, (residential refrigerator without power when disconnected from shore power) and I metered out all of the Molex connectors to see if I had 110v coming in from the inverter when separated from shore power. But...
Well, I came home, all hopeful that I'd see the exact same thing as CGRoll (sorry for the earlier GCRoll call out) and have it fixed just like THAT - but no... no such luck. I think Heartland does this stuff just to give us stuff to do on the weekends.
So - I guess I can continue this thread...
I see it now - and it HAS to be the inverter remote. Strange looking (looks like aftermarket, actually) - but I think that's it. You can test, by taking off shore power, and if you still have 120V at your refrigerator, kill the switch and see if you lose power. If you don't have power at your...
Richard -- I cannot see the picture you attached - somehow, it's not linked. But if it's a light on the panel where all of your other lights are - and it has the Magnum brand, like David-steph2018 says - it's for the inverter. You can turn that off while on shore power, but if you want to run...
GCRoll - I am glad I found this post, because on my new 35BK, I have the same problem. I already found bad wiring on my leveling system, and now I'm trying to trace the exact same problem you have. I'm going to study this post and see what I can find.
Seems Heartland needs some QA somewhere...
I don't want this thread to go on forever... but - an UPDATE.
After taking our new coach out for our first actual camping trip - could not auto-level, despite being on relatively flat space. The problem before (I thought) was that my driveway was too steep. Well....
Come to find out - the...
Lippert has no fewer than 1,000,000 different configurations - but that does look a lot like mine. And the manual mode works great, as long as you reset any tripped breakers! Thanks for the reply.
David - glad to see another good shipmate out here. I was in from 77-97 and retired as a Chief Cryptologic Technician (Interpretive). I spent most of my time either in Korea or Fort Meade (NSA). Did a lot of flying with VQ squadrons, short trips on 3 fast attacks, 1 carrier, and one Guided...
Well - these forums are for sharing information, and I really appreciate Chaplady, David-Steph2018, and Dahillbilly responding. For anyone else who searches for a similar issue, here was my problem - and the solution.
When I selected Auto-Level, the Landing Jacks retracted all the way, trying...
David - thanks for the response. Yes - when I got the "Excess Tilt" message, it made me confirm it with the "Enter" button. But then -- nothing.
A little troubleshooting (in the rain) this morning. The clicking is definitely coming from the solenoid. There is no corrosion (the thing is...
Brand new member - with a brand new 2022 Bighorn Traveler 35BK with a Lippert 6-Poing Leveling System. I'll try to explain this in as few words as possible.
Got home from the dealer, backed down my driveway and attempted to disconnect the coach. Got an "Excess Tilt" message when I tried to...
