I hope someone can answer this for me. I'm confused about the electrical system in the coach area of my 1995 damon intruder. I'm not getting 110 service to any of my electrical outlets, the microwave, or the refrigerator. Sometimes, it will come on for a few minutes, but soon shuts off and won't come back on. This happens when I run the generator and when I plug it into the house or campground service.
I replaced the converter, but it was doing this before I replaced it as well. I wanted to replace the converter anyway and I was hoping that it would fix the 110 problem as well, but no luck.
I put a voltmeter on the wires going to the main breaker and to each of the other individual breakers. They all register 110 volts. However, I am only getting 12 volts to the fridge and micro. My first thought was that it might be a bad breaker, but I discounted that, because of the 110 volts registering on each of the. The micro is on a separate breaker. There must be something "after" the breakers that is keeping the power from getting to the outlets and appliances.
I know there's a switch that automatically changes over from the generator to the shore electrical, but with 110 volts registering, it makes me think that it's not the switch. However, when I plug in shore power, I hear a sort of "thump" noise. After a few minutes, the microwave starts blinking, but doesn't work. The fridge automatically switches over to LP when I turn it on and all of the outlets in the coach are dead.
I hope someone can give me a lead where to look next!
Thank you!
