This weekend we were at a campground hooked up to 30 amp. I believe their power post had a bad source of power. My wife heard a rapping sound from the vicinity of the inside fuse-breaker panel a couple of times. She heard it before and thought I was digging around in the basement. I heard it myself once, and I thought someone was rapping on the door. This was followed by a loss of power/lights flicker to the camper. Once the power came back on, and I thought unstable power source. We have had to swap outside 30 amp plug in positions in this campground before, last year. The second time when I heard the rapping, the power did not come back on. I went out to the campground breaker and there were no lights on my power surge protector. So I plugged into the other side of the power post for the site next to us, and power came back on to our 5er. No problems for the next two days. We have a 3100, and I think the inverter might be at the bottom of the access doors just inside the main doorway by the inside fuse-breaker panel. My bride thought it might be the inverter. We had one of those fail on our SOB. On SOB, the inverter was under the steps leading up to bedroom. Anyone ever have an issue like this? We do have an appointment at the dealer we bought from in a week. I plan to ask them to check out this area / power / inverter. I am concerned about this rapping sound and future failure of something.
