I'm so confused. So I'm trying to get a new ATS, but all the ones I see call for inverters. Right now, we have a 30amp ATS with a 50amp CONverter, not inverter. Why is the ATS only 30amp if it has a 50amp converter and why do most ATS use inverters and not converters? Any help would be...

Hey Len, Thanks for that.  It looks basically the same, but still not turning.  I've read that it may be stiff?  Or hard to move if it's been a long time?  The passenger seat was my backup plan if I couldn't get the other to rotate. It was actually the barrel chair that sits behind the...

Thanks, Len2. I just tried to swivel the front passenger seat, and everything moves EXCEPT the swivel.  I tried all the way forward, all the way back, back of chair fully up.. But when I tried to lower or raise the seat, I didn't see a switch for it despite the manual saying it could be.  Only...

Alright so still no luck finding that ATS though I have a sneaky suspicion after poking around on google and forums more, than it may be hiding behind the fuse box.  Also found mold around the vents when I dissembled the vent to pull out the screen and put those pillow-like pads in there to keep...

Hmm I think I understand, Gary. Which leads back to my original thought that the switch was bad.  But we haven't been able to locate it to troubleshoot it.  I'll try to check behind the breakers again. Thanks for the thorough explanation.  That was very helpful.

There's no plugs.  The wires all go into gray, metal boxes about 4 x 4 inches with sliding flip doors.  When opened they expose crimped (twist caps?) wires; black, white and green, and they're connected to the same colored wires which feed into the wall inside the box.  There's no mechanisms of...

Nope didn't lose me at all :) That makes total sense.  I don't believe anything except maybe the lights, were running at the time it was plugged in.  Maybe the fridge.  But yes I do believe the breakers were flipped off at the box before plugging it in. Thanks for the clarification.

Hey thanks for replying so quickly! Lou - Alright so the switch, and the converter are two different things?  The converter is a black box, rectangular, which sits flat in the cubby beneath the fridge.  It's right beside the fuses, and the circuit breakers.  When my friend used a multimeter...

Hello! I'm completely new to this and a lot of learning has come from research into fixing things, and advice from RV goods retailers. We got a 1990 Fleetwood Southwind 28ft RV that I'll be living in.  Having no knowledge of RVs, we went by what we could find to determine if this seemed...

Hello! I'm completely new to the whole RV thing and am just trying to learn, and possibly fix some issues I've run into.  Will post a topic for that elsewhere, of course.  It's definitely a new sort of lifestyle to live in one of these. Anyway not entirely sure what else to put up here.  So...
