this past weekend the wife and i took out 85 coachmen out for the first time since we bought it. had a great time but found that the A/C and outlets in the back of the M/H dont work now,not sure why. we had a great time even tho it was real windy and cold.
here is a pic of our favorite spot :
Picasa Web Albums - Mike Ray - new motorhome

this sopt is on top of a mountain and is the site of a old fire tower that is no longer there.we bought a digital antenna from walmart and i put it on a metal pole to attach to the back of the M/H. we was really surprised to get 37 channels

cant wait to go back out but first i need to figure out why the back part of the M/H dont work.

Can't say for sure about your coach, but ours has two breakers on the inverter charger (see picture). If yours does one may be tripped. Also if you have a 50 amp service on the coach and are hooked up to 30 amps on the post there may be a switch to select which phase of the coaches 50 amps is getting the feed.

man i had a brain fart

i was trying to firure it out and it hit me, turn on the A/C switch . i forgot to flip the switch to generator instead of off

.
now that the A/C is working again i need to figure out the back outlets. since its hard to plug and unplug things im thinking the outlets may just be wore out.

UPDATE
i got the rear outlets working

. i went to the hardware store and bought a circuit tester (which i needed anyways) and started checking. i started in the kitchen and worked my way back. when i got to the bathroom i found that i had no current. the GFI was tripped so i reset it and had power. then went into bedroom to check and had power now in there. so the GFI being tripped in the bathroom shut off power in the bedroom.
now we are good to go and life is good
