not without being there with a meter.
Sorry, I can't troubleshoot long distance, on a system I don't have a schematic for.

John, there is no doubt that this "electrical stuff" gets tricky, especially for people like me who have 5 thumbs on each hand.

I have a TRC 50 Amp Surge Protector and it will show if only one or two legs are coming through from the pedestal. If you have a Surge Protector you might want to check it.

If it shows both legs are getting through to the MH, then you will know the problem is in the motorhome. It sure sounds like one leg is not working. Perhaps the electrical gurus can tell us if the problem could be in the transfer switch??

Hope you find the problem soon.

Don

If you have a volt/ohm meter, you might check the input and output side on your AC/DC converter. My father-in-laws went out over Thanksgiving. We had similar situation. The furnace would not come on, because the ignitor is electric. It also ran down his batteries because they were not being charged. It was only putting out 9.5 vdc instead of 13.5. We had to jump the engine from a spare battery and then let the engine alternator charge up the coach batteries. It held us for 1 more night until he could order a new unit on-line.

Even though the unit was on shore power, most electrical runs off the DC side and is charged by the generator or converter.

Like Ron, I should have read to the end of the posts. Glad it was an easy fix once you had a meter to tell you where to look.
