Hello,

I have a 5th wheel Montana 2007 Mountaineer with the following problem.  I am hooked up to 50 amps at the campsite and have been having the following problem.  My lights dim and I seem to lose power to the trailer.  But after several minutes the lights seem to come back to full power.
For example, on my refrigerator I have it set to auto and when I lose this power, the lights on the refrigerator go off.  I do not see the light showing that it is on AC, but after several minutes everything comes back on the refrigerator.  I think that the propane kicks on while this power is off as the refrigerator stays cool.  Also, on my control panel showing the levels on the holding tanks and battery, when I experience the lost of power, the lights show that the battery is empty, but the power kicks back in it shows fully charged.

The lights in the trailer goes dim, but when the power kicks back in... they seems to show full power.  Now I am not sure about the following statement, buy the TV works well, but cuts off after being used for a while.  I was at first thinking that it was the TV, but now thinking about it has something to do with the power in the trailer.  The TV is an older model with a picture tube.



Thanks for any advise on what maybe causing this problem
