power surge

[jmc]

The living area lights go from dim to bright in my CF31RE Cruiser fifth wheel. This is the first time I have ever noticed this problem. We have been to this campground (Ozark R.V. Park Mountain Veiw Ar.) before.
Any one had similar problem?
Thanks

It kind of sounds like a convertor problem to me.

check the water in the battery, it is either the converter of the park is having an electrical problem

Do have a surge protector as I am thinking maybe the park is having problems with power surges and this can be a costly experience?

Most likely a converter problem, especially if it is the 12 V lights only. If there was a problem with the campground 120 V ac supply, the converter and battery would suppress most of the power fluctuation and you would probably not see any change in the 12 V lights.

iI was using a new 30 amp cord i purchased from amazon. When I got home this afternoon I hooked up my 50 amp cord and the lights are good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess the 30 amp cord is defective.

It's good to hear that it was something simple. Glad you got it figured out. Thanks for sharing what you found out with it!
