Topic: Breaker and fuse panel labels Posted: 16 May 2017 at 11:28am |
Back to the 30 amp or "all pods are wired different".
Went out to the pod Monday ( had to replace the converter/invertor, Lighting strike, but that's another story). I turned everything on and pulled fuses one at a time. And this is what I found. I'm a little concerned, I have no breakers over 15 amp, they are labeled this way from the factory, and my #3 fuse is both the water heater AND REFRIGERATOR - AND it's only 15 amp, And my #7 is Front cabin lights, Outside lights AND SLIDEOUT - AND it's only 15 amp, I'm seeing others with 20 amp and 30 amp fuses, saying that they are for the fridge or slideout. Wondering if I should be worried? I guess if the fuse is smaller it will fail sooner and they haven't yet so it's working as it should? #1 Water pump #2 radio /antenna #3 Water heater and refrigerator #4 Bath lights, Fan #5 Rear cabin lights #6 Slideout sink light and nothing else #7 Front cabin lights,outdoor lights, and slideout #8 Furnace

I checked it out. It was a mostly vacant building that Forest River was refurbishing so that their Elkhart Coach Division could use it. It was not the Forest River R-Pod/Surveyor factory in Goshen. See The Elkhart Truth article for details. There is a link on the same page to an article about a fire in a Lippert components factory in Goshen on the 8th of May. That might affect production since the R-Pod includes Lippert parts. |

My wife read in the paper this morning that there was a fire at the Forest River plant maybe that has something to do with it. And I do know they schedule runs of different RVs in the same plant so they're not continuously making rpods

The warranty and service person at Forest River sent me a .docx file for the wrong product, then sent the fuse .doc file. I still don't have the breaker label file. She said they couldn't get the labels for me because they were not making RPods at the moment! ???

Looking at my picture again , I don't even have a 20 amp fuse in there,and SRD has one more fuse than me.
SRD, does your new pod have the awning or electric jack? |

So far, every pod I have worked on, the fridge has been the last fuse, and it's been a 20 or a 30.. |
