Help...no power!

[CWinLV]

We lost power to the coach this morning and can't figure out what happened! We had two space heaters on (one in back and one in front), 2 coffee pots brewing, and Aqua hot furnace fans on. We had only one LED overhead light on and no other lights or power draws. I wouldn't think it was too much, but perhaps it was?

We have 50 amp coming in to the coach, but nothing else works! The batteries are nearly dead, and even the "recharge" won't power them up! What could cause this?? Hubby has reset all circuit breakers inside...are there any located outside we should check?? TIA

BTW, we have a 2006 4320 DSDP

I had the same thing happen on a trip to Denver using space heaters. I'd start the generator to get the batteries charged and then go to the inverter and look for a reset button. Mine was on the side. Also look at the control panel. Both your heaters were on the same power leg and tripped the inverter. Try to have only one heater on each of the 2 power legs of the coach. Unfortunately most outlets will on one leg.

Most likely you have plugged into the Inverter and popped it - turn everything OFF - reset the Inverter - then find out where your Fused 110v outlets are. While you are learning where to plug in all those HEAVY ELECTRICAL users, you will find out, that generally speaking, most Coaches only have ONE circuit in each of the three areas of the Coach - Bedroom - Bathroom - Kitchen/Living - Locate those and use the proper ones - your 2 coffee pots will use the same as an Electric heater.

Best of Luck, stay warm,

Isn't this a GREAT forum?!! Have a problem, post a question, TWO MINUTES LATER you have your answer, ELEVEN minutes later, OP writes back and says everything is corrected! That includes finding the inverter, removing the loads, resetting the inverter and turning back on some of the loads . . .

Try beating THAT anywhere else!

Kudo's to Palehorse89 for the quick (and correct) response!
