Aluminum Camper Forum

Quick update.
Everything totally dead this morning in spite of being plugged into extension cord (same one used for TH which always worked)
So, we moved camper close enough to hook up to 30 amp breaker box (as opposed to the extension cord we were using)
A miracle occurred.
Shore power now working great.
Batteries are re-charging (hope I'm not jinxing them)
We are not calling off the expert - hoping he has some clue as to what happened so we can avoid disasters on the road, plus we're hoping he can school us up further on the solar arrangement.
Thank you again to everyone for trying to help us.

Thank you - this is all incredibly edifying - especially for those of us who are not electricians.

We've worked on this all day, trying to solve the riddle and so far, nothing.
The batteries began to charge and then stopped and then lost all their progress.
We have limited information about the installation.
The installation looks very professional given the equipment on the wall, monitors, wiring, etc.

At 5 p.m. we called a mobile RV repair person who has great ratings.
We're hoping he can help.
As soon as we have any answers, we will post them here.
Thank you again to everyone.

One more thing - batteries are completely dead.  We are in process of charging them.

Looked at a 2013 DBS on Saturday.  Everything worked, very well-kept and clean - it is exactly what we wanted for downsizing from a 10,000 pound toy hauler so we don't have to have a diesel truck and will be able to pull with a Toyota 4Runner.
Brought it home last night (150 miles).
Towed great - didn't know it was back there, up and down steep mountain highways.
Halfway home we stopped and used bathroom (isn't this why we bought it - to have a mobile bath?).
At that time, we discovered bathroom Fantastic fan was on - left on by seller who wanted to show us it worked properly.  We turned it off.
Parked it, hooked up to house power, very excited.
Except, nothing works except microwave clock.
It has a fancy solar system, an amenity that we liked, but do not understand.
We do not understand how it could go from everything working as it should to being totally dead (with one tiny microwave clock exception).
We checked all the fuses - they appear fine
Flipped all breakers (we think we flipped them all) they appear fine.
Checked shore power - plugged into regular outlet - not 30 amp, but we always ran the TH on the same shore power unless we needed air.
Does anyone have a clue?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
