Troubleshooting Tips

Electrical Troubleshooting Tips

The trailer required 20 amps to operate.

  • Make sure electrical is plugged in at source and at the trailer.
  • The yellow plug needs to be screwed in completely.
  • Check the #1 circuit breaker; GFI Recept is on.
  • If continuing to blow fuse, the outlet won’t supply enough amps. Switch plug to a different outlet.

Water Troubleshooting Tips

  • Make sure water is on at the source, city water or tank, and at the trailer.

              (water fill would be different)

  • Pump switches in the on position (#1 Pump on in 2-Stall, #1 Pump & #2 Pump in 4-Stall or larger)

A/C Troubleshooting Tips

  • Check the thermostat, make sure it is set to air conditioning, not heat.
  • Make sure the trailer is set to 70 degrees.
    • Caution: Will freeze if set below
  • Allow up to 90 minutes for the air to get to temperature.
  • Make sure vents are open on the interior.

Toilets

  • Foot pedal only requires light pressure to work.
  • If water is running in the toilet, lift up the handle to stop the water from running.
  • If water is not running in the toilet, check the water line under the toilet, ensure the valve is open (parallel to the hose).
