Outlet problem

[ebprod]

We finally got the Kountry Aire we just bought to our home. All the outlets work when running the generator. When plugged into shore, the outlets near the ceiling for the TV's, and all the outlets from the bathroom back don't work. The appliances work as they should.

I've checked the fuses and breakers under the bed. What am I missing?

I would first check the outlet to see if there is 110 volts on both legs. You could be missing one leg. If the power at the outlet is correct I would next check the Automatic Transfer Switch to see if one leg is being dropped across it.

Or your electric cord could be missing a leg due to a loose wire at the plug.

Check all you GFCI plugs, I seen some trip when you plug into shore power. There may be several plugs to check.

I noticed that the outlet in the bathroom doesn't test properly. Would that affect the other outlets?

Also, I don't think the converter is charging the batteries either. What should the display read when I press "read volts"? Mine is at around 12. My converter is a Intelli-power 1960a.

It almost sounds like it's your converter but if your outlets/converter are working on generator it should also be working on shore power. If you have a 50 amp coach and are on 15/30 amp service using adapters, use a volt meter to make sure you adapeters are carrying current properly. My experience with transfer switches tell me if you are getting power on some switches/appliances on shore power you should also be getting power on all appliances/switches.

Problem solved. It was the power cord adapters. I bought new ones and now everything is working as it should. The volts now shows 13.5- that's correct?

Thanks everyone, this forum has been invaluable.
