    DC Voltage connector

    I found this connector on the front of my 2016 3800FL Big Country. What is the purpose of this connector? It looks like I could hook up a Solar Panel battery tender to it.

    Last fall, we took delivery on a brand new 2024 North Trail 25RBP. We installed a bunch of extra gear (see below), and now we're looking into how to supply the air conditioner and the couple of electrical outlets that aren't already on the "pre-wired for solar" grid while we boondock, which we...

    Dangerous wiring of hot water heater.

    While trying to diagnose why the hot water heater stopped working I discovered, behind a panel under the kitchen counter, a problem that could have burned the trailer (2016 Heartland Prowler trailer) down. I am amazed that the trailer did not burn down and the only reason being that what caused...

    Assumed low voltage solutions | Cyclone 4007

    While connected to 50 AMP shore power everything will be fine for hours or even days then randomly the ATS will disengage and/or make a clicking sounds. Typically it will be a click or two then power is fine, but sometimes it will cause full loss of power to the coach till we go to a new...

    Fuel 305 wireless phone charger

    We bought a 2022 Fuel 305. During the dealer walk through the wireless charger in the master bedroom worked with my iphone. Now on our first trip I haven’t gotten it to work at all. We’re connected to 30 amp shore power. Everything else electrical works. Any ideas??

    Dometic Tstat issues start with E1, then E5 now what seems to be low voltage to tstats (both)

    Hello All, My first post, although I have been reading the forum since my purchase in 2020 of my 2017 Landmark 365 Madison. Thanks to everyone who shares and contributes. I began this trip down the rabbit hole with a simple E1 error in my front HVAC unit which controls the furnace. I tried...

    Wire generator to converter

    Hello, I currently have a Champion 3400-watt dual fuel generator that works well with our travel trailer. However, using it on longer trips, such as stopping at a Walmart or boondocking, it’s not always convenient to use it on the ground or in the truck. Because of this, I am considering one of...

    Replacement 15 amp AC breaker

    I own a 2016 Heartland Bighorn 3010re. Recently, the 15 amp breaker for the fireplace trips continuously. I verified that this is happening when the fireplace is drawing as little as 6 amps, so I pretty sure its a bad breaker. Does anyone know the type of breaker that is used in this trailer so...

    Rocker switch for Landing Gear

    I need to replace the rocker switch for the front landing gear on my 2011 Cyclone 3010 but not sure exactly what switch to get - there are so many. Old switch has 6 pins. I know it needs to be a DPDT momentary rocker on-off-on switch, but should it be a 125V 20A or 250V 16A or a 30A switch ...

    Ceiling lights, flickering like a Disco

    Hi Folks, We have a new 2017 Landmark365, it's about a month old. Recently the 2 of the ceiling light circuits randomly, dim, flicker, like a disco, and sometimes like a scene from the exorcist. I wish it was consistent, but it's just happening when it feels like it. All on Shore power, both...

    I'm the new owner of a Heartland Trail Runner 27RKS. On our most recent trip, the red lens came off the back right tail light. Of course, the dealer says you have to bring the whole thing or the other lens in to replace it, but the dealership is far and that is silly. Can someone tell me a...

    Battery vs. 110

    Just bought a 2012 Big Country 32' fifth wheel. This is my SEVENTH RV so I'm not completely new at this. Problem is, I didn't get any of the owner's manuals and that offers some challenges. Most recently, I'm not getting 12V power to my lights inside, but the landing gear and slides work on...

    3950 Design Flaw

    Don't get me wrong, we love our 2012 Cyclone 3950 HD, however whoever designed it to where the electrical fuse panel/converter is located directly under the kitchen sink needs to go back and get a better education on common sense. So far, we've had two leaks at the sink area. One being a drain...

    Where is the Power Converter located

    generator hookup

    Bought a Lifan 8500W peak power (7500 W continuous) 62.5 amp generator. It has a female plug-in rated 30 amp, 120/240 W with four plugs. Lifan says if I plug into this, it will more than handle my 2008 Bighorn 36L with two air conditioners. True? Also, the Bighorn is generator ready, but I...

    How long can I run things without the generator?

    Hello everyone. I'm planning to add several batteries to my new 3914 because it seems to make sense to have additional power, but as this is my first RV I don't really know what all actually runs on batteries. Obviously the 12v lights do, and the radio, the fridge (optionally), and a couple of...
