I’m troubleshooting a fuse name “Refer” as it continues to blow the fuse. Does anyone know what this circuit supports?

I have a 2023 Heartland Northtrail 24BHS. Used 2times 1 summer when we bought and 1 Winter when we moved to TN. Problem A/C won’t come on did a test on the circuit and reading came up OL which means no power running from breaker which is fine and fuse too to unit, so there is a break in the...

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...

I have a 2019 Cyclone 4005. I just got home from a camping trip. When I plugged my 50 amp back in, my front ac would not power on, my receptacles are not working. The middle AC, the Rear AC, and other have of the receptacles work. I plugged the camper back into my truck and it works fine. Is...

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...

Heartland trailrunner 2022 27rks All of my outlets went out this morning. Only GFI I can find is in bathroom and it is not tripped. Is there another GFI? I cannot locate a fuse panel or breaker box. All other power working fine. Hooked up to shore power. Any help?

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...

We have a 2019 3900 MB Gateway fifth wheel RV and recently the LED lights and 12 volt overhead lights in the slide outs simply stopped working. The LED over head was turned on , then shut off and we found that both sets of LED are now off. The breakers and fuses are good and the wall plugs...

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??

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...

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...

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...

New here. My Dad recently died and left a 2009 Heartland Trailrunner which he loved. I think its a 30 foot model. I've tried desperately to find manuals but to date have worked through trial and error. I have two questions that are increasingly critical for me. First, is there a switch that...

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 ...

Hello, I am a new owner of a 2009 North Country 26BH trailer. We have owned the trailer for about a month, and have not yet taken it out on a trip. While the trailer has been parked next to my house, my wife and I have been slowly getting ready for our first trip. Bringing our existing camping...

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...

On a recent 2,500 mile trip between Chicago and Ft Myers, FL we ran into a problem with our running lights not working on half the carriage. Two days of troubleshoot and repair as a result of a electrical short at a steel cross member penetration. As a mechanical engineer I understand product...

Hi guys, Ive had my Cyclone 4000 for almost a year and a half. Rarely have issues but yesterday the 2 lights over my counter opposite the doors went out. My refrigerator also went out. All other lights work. The 5th fuse was blown. The breaker controlling it is labeled "conv." I'm guessing it's...

Hello Guys and Gals, There is lots of good talk on here about towing safety. But I just want to touch on a few things about electrical safety, and practice. I have been an Electrician for the last 16 years. Not going to say I know it all, or seen every thing, and campers are slightly different...

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...

Hi. This is my first post to a forum, but I've learned a lot reading through many of the forums. I am trying to determine which circuits to power through an inverter. I plan to move the circuits to a subpanel. I know for sure that I will power the GFCI, bedroom, and living room outlets and...

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...

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...

We just took our newly purchased 181 out for a shakedown trip and now we're looking forward to 2 weeks with it in FL after the holidays. DH insists I can't use my hair drying in the trailer, even with most other electrical appliances turned off. But after much surfing the net and these forums...

Control Panel shows battery is running down - apparently not charging. I assume the Power Converter is not charging the battery any more. Circuit breaker is not tripped. I assume next step is to check the fuses on the converter. Anyone know where the converter is located on a 2011 Rushmore...

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...

I want to install a hard wired power protection device on my unit. I need a diagram of the wiring to figure out where the main line is at a place where I can attach the power protection. I don’t want to take off the under belly just to follow the wire. If anyone has done this and can offer any...

I am planning on replacing the poor excuse for a vent hood light over the stove with an LED light. Same 12v, LOTS more output! Problem is, I have to sort out which of two ways I will go. I can cut the wires and insert a new fixture under the translucent cover...

Is there any chance of getting a wiring diagram for the 3914? I'm interested in tapping into my system for adding solar power, additional lights, inverter, etc., and would like to know how things are connected.

We have 2010 3055 RL. Yesterday, the fan and light in the stove hood would not come on, in addition the lights over the sink and desk will not come on. All other lights, outlets and electrical appliances work fine. I attempted to check the fuses but none that I could tell were labeled for the...

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...

The rocker switch on my fireplace just fried. Took the thing apart and found the wires to the rocker switch overheated and one melted the spade connector off the switch. Seems a fuse should have blown before the switch fried. Has anybody experienced this yet. I've cleaned up the wires and...

Howdy all Me again – totally new to RVing and looking to live full time in a 3670RL this spring. I found someone that is interested in letting me rent their RV parking space on the side of their house with full hook ups. They will install 50amp service for me – how lucky! But I have a some...

We have a 2010 BC 3550. The biggest issue we have in the kithche area is no electric outlets. We have one by the sofa and that is it. It would be very helpful and handy to have 1 or 2 GFCI outlets around the counter areas.

I'm having some electrical issues with my 2004 Springdale (30 amp) camper. There seems to have been a power surge of some sort through my electrical system and something got too hot. No fuses blown and no breakers were triped. All appliances seem to work fine, but the inside lights will only...

Group: I have the above mentioned vehicle, and I have noticed something funny with the alternator and voltmeter first thing in the morning. When I first start it up, even after waiting for the pre-heat light to go out, the voltage reading is below 14 volts, and the engine runs a little rough...

Ok guys, I am sure I am speaking for heartland owners who aren't blessed with technical electrical and mechanical prowess. What easy to operate electrical tools do non technical folks need to carry while traveling on rigs that could make life a little easier? I am sure diagnostic tools are a...

Headed out tomorrow for a short trip to Ute Lake NM and i'm checking things out to find: I have my shore power 120 ac connected and everything works, but when I disconnect my battery (disconnect switch) I have no 120ac power or 12 volt power. Basically nothing works with the AC plugged in and...
