Hi all,
New here as I just purchased a 303RL. Got it home, but I don't have a 50 amp, or even a 30 amp service and I'm selling the house so I'm not putting one in. I got two of the three slides out and decided not to push the third one out. Then a day or so later the propane/carbon monoxide detector started beeping and my wife couldn't get it to stop. It finally did, but I believe it was when the battery was dead. I charged up the battery and it's stayed fully charged. But I don't have lights, the detector didn't come back on and I've checked all of the breakers, all of the fuses and the electrical switch just aft of the battery itself. All were good. I then found the GFI receptacle in the bathroom and hit the test button. Nothing happened. The reset button did pop out like they normally do. Pushing in the reset button had no effect either and it never acted like it does when you reset one. I should mention that I this at my in law's for a few days as they do have a 50 amp service. Everything worked fine. Once I had it at home, I had lights until the battery went dead.
Now I know a little bit about household wiring, but not much about the wiring in a travel trailer that has to mix AC with DC. It doesn't seem likely, but could the GFI receptacle kill ALL the power, to lights, to the stove vent fan, and the radio? I'm running out of things to look for. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
