We were on a one week trip with our r-pod 182 and at the end, all of the sudden, the fridge didn't want to run on electricity anymore. We were still plugged in, it suddenly showed an error until we switched to gas. The battery and gas options still work. We now found out that the outlets to the left of the fridge, inside the kitchen area (above the stove) also don't work anymore. After flipping all breakers off and on again, which didn't help, we're seeking help of others. But I'm very much hoping that we don't need to bring the trailer again to the dealer as it is an almost 2 hour drive for us one way. Does it make sense to remove all fuses and add them again? What other ideas do you have? ------------- "Bommel" - r-pod 182 G " Franzi" - Toyota Tundra 2007 http://blog.picturingtheamericas.com |

Since the outlets are also out, I'm 90% sure the GFCI outlet tripped. Find it and press the reset button. The other 10% of certainty is a breaker tripped in the converter. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

Just looked up images of 'GFCI outlet' on google :-) I'm a clueless person. I'll search for that thing but do you have any idea where it could be? Under the sink or somewhere obvious... OMG! Now that I think about it longer, I know exactly where it is! My daughter pressed the buttons as it is right under her bed!! I'll better cover it with something. Is there only one of those in each r-pod? Thanks guys! I'll check that out and let you know if that helped. ------------- "Bommel" - r-pod 182 G " Franzi" - Toyota Tundra 2007 http://blog.picturingtheamericas.com |
