Everything running great... then all AC flipped off. Now, nothing AC... no charging of batteries either.. And it's going to be plenty cold here tonight... Must be a fuse but WHERE???
Granted, we had a couple electric heaters so must have overloaded the system but the breakers are fine and the pedestal is fine...
IDEAS!!!
thanks

Check to make sure you have power at the pole where you are plugged in, then the power plugs. As all power was lost this is the first place I would check.

Checked the power pole. It's fine. There's just no power to the trailer. The breakers are fine... I tripped them all. There's no battery charging but the control panel is lit.. which it shouldn't be unless it was sensing power. But it's not charging.
SO, either there is a fuse somewhere or the converter/inverter has died suddenly.
Any ideas where to look for a fuse?

Extension cord to one of your heaters and work on it in the morning?
Get the multi meter out and start tracing.

There are a couple " button" type breakers on the side of my inverter. Make sure one of those has not tripped "popped out" if so just push it firmly back in. Good Luck

I was going to say the Inverter too(if your RV has one)...I know that even though my MH is a 50amp unit, the inverter has only a 30 amp pass through and if you overload the outlets that are on the Inverter, you will trip those resettable breakers on it. Ive done it a couple of times myself when running a couple of electric heaters, an electric coffee pot plus the Micro-wave.

Check near where the power cord enters the trailer. See if there is a master breaker there. My Alfas had the master near the cord. Then go to the inside AC breakers and reset them all.

If you have a removable cordset (Marinco type fitting)make sure it's seated and tight. Usually it's a bayonet twist/turn to seat.
