I just got our RPOD 190 delivered. I leveled it and plugged it in to a wired 30amp outside outlet I had installed.

The switches inside work for the slide out and insdoor lights, outdoor lights.

Is there any trick in getting the power outlets to work inside the camper? I tried the one in the slide out kitchen and the one under the queen bed and no power?

Are you sure your 30a plug in is turned on in your house. Try the R-pod AC.
If it works then check the circuit breakers in the electrical box. It’s by your feet on the right as you come in the door.

Everything you mentioned working runs off the batteries not the 110v from the 30a plug in

Check the circuit breakers and the GFCI reset button, it will be on one of those outlets.

Turns out that the problem was the Power Watchdog 30 AMP Smart Surge Protector I had it in between the camper power cord and my outside house 30 amp outlet. I may need to program that or something. As soon as I went directly to power everything came on....

Thanks for your suggestions that I first checked.

Glad it worked out for you, hopefully the surge protector isn’t faulty or anything

What model surge protector do you have. Is it an EMS ? and not just a surge protector? If so, DO NOT continue leaving camper plugged in. The EMS was finding something wrong, and not allowing power, as it's designed to do.

Mjlrpod has a very good point there. You should probably get your circuit checked before something bad happens

That Watch dog was correct. The wires were reversed. All plugged in now! Electrician fixed what was not installed correctly!

Good thing you had an EMS. If your electrician reversed line and neutral when he wired up your RV receptacle you might want to consider using a different electrician next time you have any work done. That's a basic error no electrician should ever make.
