No electrical power to trailer received from connection to house power. All ok if running of truck connection. Both 12 volts dead and they have been hooked to house power for over month. House power source and line are working fine but nothing getting to trailer. Fuses and breakers ok, reset all breakers. Suggestions?

Did you reset the breakers inside the pod?

The shore power cable is attched to the inlet on the camper firmly?

Big smile

Thanks for the ideas.

Had the adapter cable checked and found it to be the problem. Never thought that would be the issue. Seems like they should last a lifetime, not just one year.

End result is delay in leaving on vacation till this evening and driving at night to beat the heat.

The outlet at the end of the power cord went bad on mine after just 4 years.  I agree they should last a lifetime since they are designed to be "heavy duty", but the lowest bidder got the job here and failed to make a good product.  I replaced the outlet.  The plug on the pod itself was fine.
