A 2014 RPod likely does not have an inverter. It will, however, have a converter.

RoverPod,
Thanks---that clears things up for me. I appreciate knowing there may only be a converter. I will take off the access panel to see if a breaker has tripped. Still waiting to get it into the shop. Pete

You should not need to remove the face to see if a breaker is tripped. The front will open to let you see the fuses and breakers.

Converter breaker looks fine, I reset it just to be sure. I hooked up the camper to shore power and I can hear the converter fan when the fridge is on battery. Only way to buy a meter; fingers crossed I just have dead batteries. Hoping it's the simple and lesson learned to not let them go dead over the winter, right?

Yes, don't let them get run down over the winter. Disconnecting and periodically charging or installing a battery cut-off switch (same thing, but more convenient) and periodically recharging keeps the batteries in good shape if you can't keep the RPod plugged in full time.
By the way, you can edit your posts (Post Options). I have done so many times when I saw that I had made an error.

Mystery solved----- the ground wire (white) coming from the camper to the battery's negative post cracked completely at the end of the cable so it isn't connected to the battery terminal at all.....
Simple I should've checked the simple stuff before reaching out. I do have a multimeter now! Thx again for the support-I'm learning, a definite work in progress. |
