Why is my power breaker not tripping?
If one or more lights in your home have gone out and your circuit breaker isn’t tripped, what could the issue be? One culprit could be a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet that has tripped. Other issues can include loose wiring or outlets. Over the years, wiring and screws can come loose.
What should I do if my power converter is not working?
Use a non-contact voltage tester to ensure 110 volts are coursing in the circuit breakers by removing the panel and clamping onto a ground surface. If all is good in the center, you should go to the appliance (s) giving you trouble.
How can I troubleshoot my RV power converter?
Using commonsense RV distribution center troubleshooting methods can narrow down the possibilities, helping you to figure out exactly what kind of repairs you need.
Can a dirty battery impede a power converter?
Dirty batteries can seriously impede the charging circuit and can and will draw voltage directly off the battery. Good luck. We have a 2009 Forest River Salem Travel Trailer that is parked year round at a resort wtih 30 amp service.
Can a 12 volt power converter run without a battery?
Lastly, check the batteries a properly working converter should run the entire 12 volt system even without a battery (though it’s not recommended due to the tendency of converters to let transient AC voltage through, the battery acts like a “filter”).

Why is the breaker on my 12V not working?
If there is battery voltage on the battery side and no voltage on the trailer side the breaker is bad. If you have battery voltage on both sides of the breaker you need to check for voltage inside by removing the electrical panel cover. If you need more help chime back in and I’ll try to work you through it.

Why is my AC converter not working in my RV?
Sometimes the shore power source from the RV pack can be the problem. Check the power post to make sure there aren’t signs of a burned-out outlet or some other fault. Sometimes something as simple as a bent prong or damaged outlet can prevent delivery of the AC electricity to the converter itself.
