No power to slide AC plug

hhh · 05-28-2011, 04:15 AM

First outing with the Crusier (CF285RL) and notice that there is no power to the AC plug located by the dining table on the slide. I checked the breakers and the 2 GFI outlets and all are fine. Does anyone happen to know how the 110v plug on the slide is wired?

If that is the only plug not working, I would first pull it out and check the connecting wire. If they are not hot, check for a junction box under the slide (when it is open). It should be a gray box with a blank weather cover.Check those connections. If you are not comfortable with electricity, take it back to the dealer.

There should also be another AC outlet behind the sofa if you pull it out a few inches. If both are dead, then probably the connection at the main frame member (you may have to drop the Darco underbelly to locate the junction box). If only the dinette outlet is dead, then there is a bad connection there or where it connects to the sofa outlet.

Thanks for all the info. I did find the junction box on the frame and the cord going out to the slide. Out camping this weekend so will have to check it out when I get home.

I got the electrical fixed. First, I didn't even know the couch was movable, the one in my last rig was bolted down. Once I moved the couch I tested both outlets and there was no power to either one. I found a junction box where the wiring came into the slide, opened it up and found that they did not wire nut one of the wires correctly so it was not making contact. I redid the wire nut properly and now have power to both outlets.

Thanks again to everyone for pointing me in the right direction!
