For Pete's sake people when you have to change a fuse use the same amp fuse. Don't do like my brother used to do back in the 80s. "That 15 amp fuse is blown, I'll put in a 30 amp fuse so it won't blow again." That fuse is meant to blow in case of a power surge. It's a lot cheaper to replace than an electrical component. Go to the hardware store and buy extras to keep on hand for just such an emergency. Plus, you'll be a good neighbor when someone needs a fuse and they don't have one.

Great video. I am a new RV owner was dealing with an electrical issue involving my slides & leveling system. After many 5:23 web searches I found myself heading to th 5:23 e right direction to fix that issue. The AC’s were working fine but when I reset the main breaker they shut off and wouldn’t restart. Lesson learned always shut AC’s off at thermostat if working on electrical system. Long story short, I fixed the issues with the slides & leveling system and got them working again (breaker in the battery compartment), but the AC still was not working. I found your video & when you got to the power hookup I had an epiphany. Went outside & sure enough my Power Watchdog surge protector had tripped. I reset it, went back in flipped on the main breaker, then the AC breakers & then turned on the AC’s at the thermostat & everything was running like before. 😅 Thanks to you & your video. Many many thanks!

My AC kicks off and when I turn the thermostat off for a few seconds and back on then it will run but shuts off again. is it overheating? Also it is not the safety temp switch on the condenser I removed it and jumped it just to see if that was kicking off.

Hey my RV has no power not sure what the problem is. The living room lights and the room lights are not working and also the AC is not working. The only thing that works is the Plug ins to charge my phones. Do you know what it can be? Thanks

Our AC stopped (Tiffin Allegro Open Road 32SA)... No breakers thrown in the coach OR at the shore power pedestal. My solution was to turn off the AC at the thermostat.... shut off the breaker at the pedestal... wait 30 seconds... switch the pedestal breaker back "on" and turn on the AC at the thermostat. It comes back on every time! No breakers thrown... ANYWHERE!. Can anyone explain this?

Something else I've noticed is that the microwave in my 38ft Alpine is gynormous, but I never use it. But whether in use or not it's still drawing power, I have the microwave on a surge protector and just keep it in the off position so that it's not competing for juice...

Thanks for the tips. Our PUP (1640 Rockwood Freedom) A/C randomly stopped working like something was tripped. Other stuff worked like lights etc, fuses weren’t blown, breakers weren’t tripped, etc. So I’m not sure it was the campgrounds fault. But I can’t for the life of me see why it quit like that. Usually they’ll get loud or weird sounding but completely quitting is unexpected. Dealer is hours away which is not trivial to get it down there. Not pleased to say the least, and not sure where to go from here.

I was having this very problem. My fix was to flip the microwave breaker to off, as I don't use it much at all. Seem to help fix the problem.

We have klein recp.tool we put in outlets and reas 120 but when we turn onAC it goes to 137V. At start we were running the ac and lights and than heard a loud pop which was the compacertors blew. Back to AC when we turn on AC the outlet tools reads 137 and has a fault. Any help Rich

Great video, checked all that stuff and no go. My AC stopped working when we left the camp site and I think the problem started when we disconnected from the camp power and the AC may have been running when we disconnected. I started the generator later to get some air and the AC would not start. Any ideas?

My Ac isn't working during the day but when it gets cool outside in the evening it starts to work could you please maybe give me some direction to go in to find the problem

The one problem I'm having is the air control shut off and the only way to turn it back on is to cycle through the thermostat to turn it off and then go back to air conditioner turn back on in about 30 seconds

I have an issue with power. The AC power does not work. No breakers tripped. Generator powers the rv when running No problem. But when you use shore power the power does not operate the AC microwave or outlets. Is it the convertor or where Shore power links up with junction box.

I tend to recommend things I personally use. I have not used this so I will not put my rubber stamp on it. But I am looking into them close now.
