electrical system

Last week after a couple of cloudy days my battery ran down and the electrical systems shut down. The next morning, I got ready to leave. The sun was shining again, and the solar panel did its job. I thought about buying a generator but might use it less than once a year and would still need...

Hey all, We have a standard 2019 solitude 380fl and have been full timing in it since Nov ‘19. Standard meaning 2 a/c, no gen, no residential fridge. Just recently we have had issues dropping all power. We have a portable progressive industries 50 amp surge protector that keeps tripping due to...

Greetings from Arizona. We took delivery of our 2022 5.0 in September of last year. Our configuration included two 190W roof-top solar panels and a Zamp plug for an external panel. The trailer came equipped with the Victron Smartsolar MPPT 100 | 20 charge controller. I watched the...

Our new Imagine 2670MK has a power block under the bathroom sink. I believe this to be an extremely poor design. I have already replaced all the factory connection fittings with Flair-It compression fittings, however the location of the exposed electrical connections makes me nervous. Has anyone...

Hi all, Couple of electrical issues that I'd like to have addressed, but local RV shop is backed up for next 2 months and would like to do it more quickly. Believe the issues are fairly straightforward (ensure trailer is grounded properly; diagnose whether electrical "event" over the winter...

The lights flicker when ever the water pump is in use in our Solitude. What is the best way to rewire the panel and pump in order to stop the flickering. It didn't do it in 19 when we bought the camper, buit started late last year. What is the cause and the best way to eradicate it?? Thank you.

Hi All Escapees: We just purchases a new 17B (2020), with a solar panel. I’d like to start this thread on panel maintenance. Thanks Larry&Liz for your solar panel battery question.... and I (flower) would like to continue this thread with another! What is the best way to clean solar panels...

I own a 2019 Imagine MK2670 with twin A/C units. Having 2 air conditioners changed things up, having that big ‘ole 50amp cable hanging out of the side... Being very prepared in my life on the road for hookin’ up, I have an array of pigtails, converting the Rig’s connector (or end of the 50amp...

This thing is not on the GD website, not listed in parts. I'm pretty sure this is a circuit breaker/ distribution bar. Where can I find out more about it, like the breaker ratings? I'm really hoping not to take it all apart to trace out all my wires.

Has anyone mapped the electrical circuits in their Reflection 315RLTS? Just blew a breaker since the outlet in the kitchen on the shelf over the furnace is on the same circuit as my washer/dryer. Trying to preheat the toaster oven to make a pizza for supper while the washer was running. I would...

We have a new 2019 E21 - there's been no problems for 6 months. Today all 120v power in the trailer quit and I can't find the problem. We have a small 120v space heater that we sometimes use with shore power, it has two settings, 600W and 1500W. I normally set it to 600W if I'm using any...

Hello all, I have recently purchased a Grand Design Reflection, and was hooking up an exterior power outlet to plug in the trailer. I assumed (dumb mistake) that the wiring diagram on the plug panel was going to be the correct configuration on the trailer. Not so much! For a day or so, until...

Well, the other half and I finally cracked and ordered the 21 yesterday. Now on to the build sheet. One question is: one rooftop solar panel, or two. We will likely order one, but are interested in opinions on the second one. I'm not really interested in fiddling with portables, but would...

Hi WTW, sorry to add another electrical topic. I'm getting a Hawk Shell soon which will have essentially nothing electrical apart from the truck system connected to the lights and an AC with nowhere to plug in. I plan to use a Honda 2000 Generator or Shore power often. My intended electrical...
