Please bare with me as I don't have any electrical knowledge, but my husband is somewhat electrically versed...so he says 😉
Yesterday we traveled from one park to another. Upon arrival, after hooking up to 50 amp power (we use a Hughes Autoformer, and all was well at the pedestal), I went to extend the rear slide and there was horrible electrical smell in the bedroom.
We checked everything we could around the coach and couldn't determine the source. The smell dissipated in the bedroom but seemed to move up through to the front of the coach before dissipating completely.
We looked around for about an hour, still couldn't find anything, and we went out to get some dinner. All electrical plugs were working when we left. When we came back, we had no electrical power to most of the plugs in the coach. The breaker on the inverter (Xantrex 458) had tripped when we arrived at the park, but had not tripped while we were out for dinner. The refrigerator had switched over to propane because of a blown 5 amp fuse (replaced today and still running). We also lost a stand-alone digital clock and a miscellaneous surge protector power strip.
My husband replaced the GFCI plug in the bedroom, but he found that it has no power going to it. The lights on the inverter read as normal per specs. Both air conditioners, washer/dryer, and water heater are still working. Prior to leaving the old park for the new, we had run the generator to exercise it and it behaved as though it had a power surge for a moment (we were still plugged in to 50 amp at the time and the inverter breaker tripped). I'm quite worried and we couldn't get any repair people to come out today. Any ideas?
I hope I posted this in the correct way! Thanks in advance.
