Still Having Electrical Problems

[NewCampers2022]

So we have power to the GFCI outlets but no power to the fridge, microwave, or lights. We need to move our travel trailer and can’t figure out what to do next. We believe it’s the converter but we have no clue what to look for as to a replacement converter. Also since we need to move the travel trailer we need to put the slide in but can’t seem to get that working either. Any advice I’d greatly appreciated!

You must learn to become handy with a multimeter and its settings for AC and DC volts. You Tube can help you. If you have the schematics for your vehicle, that will also help.

Use the multimeter and start tracking where you have and don't have power. Fix whatever is broken and move on downstream. None of this is hard, just a little tedious.

Read the data plate on your converter and order an equivalent but I truly believe this is going to be something simpler to fix than that.

My prediction? Bad breaker or loose connection at the main breaker or similar with one of the other breakers.

Actually, there are breakers in the stream that are hard to diagnose. Most of the time they are mounted on the frame out in the elements and you don't realize what they are. Sometimes there are multiples of them mounted in a line. The wires go to one side and come out the other. But the power does not. I wish I could put up a picture but I cannot. It would take knowledge of them and a multimeter to diagnose them. They are about 2 inches long and 1 1/4 wide with a terminal on each side.
