The main AC quit. I checked the 220 breaker outside and it looked partially tripped. I reset it and the AC. Came back on. Next day it quit again. Breaker was ok. Now the interior lights and the refrigerator are off. All breakers in inside are okay. Any suggestions?

If you have a continuity meter it will also check electricity, both AC and DC. Plus continuity. That would tell you where the electricity is or isn't. Be a good way to start.
Then you would know if the problem was at the post, or in your unit.

It is 120, not 220. Is your RV 30 or 50 amp connection? Campground breaker tripping is difficult to trace. Do you have a high quality protector installed between the CG elec. and your trailer - if so does it read good connection? Running AC, elec water heater, TV, toaster, microwave and combined 12V devices at the same time can spell trouble - Are you trying to run more appliances than is able to be supplied? 20A, 30A, or 50A service from CG?

Check for GFCI being tripped somewhere. That would affect your micro and lights.
Please put your year and model in your signature so we can reference the correct rv.

Just need some more information. What year and model is your camper? Is it 30 amp or 50 amp? Do you have 1 or 2 AC units and if so does 1 work and the other not work? Is your battery charged and if so when you disconnect from shore power -110 volt-- do you have any lights? Have you checked the 40 amp fuses on the converter or the 12 volt - fuse- side of the power panel?


The AC is 110 volt but your lights and if you have a gas /electric or a 12 compressor refrigerator they all require 12 volt to operate.

Also do you have a surge protector?


Not trying to overwhelm you but the more information we have the better we can help without resorting to a best guess.

My converter has 2 fuses on the converter itself. Had to pull a panel in the bathroom to get to them. Just a suggestion if your converter fuses aren't on the panel.
