I have a 1999 34n southwind motor home. I was running it on a 1000 watt generator when my girlfriend plugged in a 1000 watt hair dryer and all of a sudden the ac in the coach stopped working. It still does not work when I plug in shore power.hrlp.please

It is likely that a breaker has tripped. Is there power at the shore connection? If there is, then check for a tripped breaker in the coach. It could even be a ground fault breaker.

Good luck

An AC unit will not be on a GFCI but the hair dryer plug may have. I am betting a tripped breaker or the AC had a weak capacitor and it blew. Troubleshooting 101, do you have power at: the shore cord? the main breaker in the panel? the output of the breaker marked AC? and then you have to open up the AC to check the rest.
