My husband and I own a 2012 Heartland Road Warrior. Over the past month the toy hauler has been sitting with no power even though it has been plugged in. When we finally got around to checking it, we found that the battery was dead, the generator wouldn't run and it was getting no power when plugged in (to the required 50 amp). With an outrageous quoted fee to have it looked at that we declined, we went ahead and got a new battery and installed it ourselves. Everything seemed to work fine but it took only a few hours to show the battery was draining and not charging. With the lights also dimming, we determined (by looking at suggestions online) that the problem was the power converter.
We bought another that matched the one in the trailer and installed it (thanks to some great posted youtube videos). Everything worked and the battery was charging.
At least we thought everything worked. It turns out that the refrigerator and microwave doesn't work at all. We checked the circuit breaker for the two and when flipped to on, the plug has power where the microwave is plugged to but it still doesn't work.
Could this be a "byproduct" of replacing the power converter? Is there a step that might have been missed? When we first replaced the new battery, we didn't think to check either appliance so I don't know if the problem has been long term or not. We last took the RV out in February and everything was fine and working in it.
