He’s in Oregon so probably not up yet.The original poster has not been back since making the post. If he should come back, he needs to look for the power cord that will be inside of one of his storage bays and look like this:
this goofy old RV from 1988.
Ya gotta read the whole thread.What is the year and make of this rv?
Thank you everyone!!! Wow what an active, and helpful forum this is!!!!The original poster has not been back since making the post. If he should come back, he needs to look for the power cord that will be inside of one of his storage bays and look like this:
That still doesn't address the make (or the model, either), only the year. And though it certainly appears to be a motorhome, that hasn't been specifically addressed either, just "RV."Ya gotta read the whole thread.
Ok, I found it! Just like you guys said. I took a couple pictures of it to show this thread. Great information from this forum! Most impressive, as Darth Vader would say. Thanks for everyone's input.Your power cord should be in an outside compartment on the driver's side. It is likely that only one end will be accessible, and that end will have a male plug. The other end will be wired into the RV. The compartment will likely have a hole in the floor that the cord will drop through so that the compartment door can be closed while the cord is deployed.

Looks exactly like my Y2K RV (listed below this message). The 30 amp outlet receptacle (in the square metal thingy) is the output from your generator. When on the road, keep the 30 amp cable plugged into it.Ok, I found it!
Oh I see!!! Right, I had no idea about any of that. Thank you! This looks like a fundamental of motorhome operation.Looks exactly like my Y2K RV (listed below this message).

When at an RV park with electricity, plug that same cable in to the park pedestal and no longer use your generator. When leaving the park, plug it back into the RV receptacle or else your genny will run but will not be able to power anything at all.

Yes, for those rigs without an ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) it is, indeed, a fundamental.This looks like a fundamental of motorhome operation.
I can't believe the RV shops you were not able to figure this out. I would not be going back to those places!Ok, I found it! Just like you guys said.
