Good Evening all.
Tonight while getting my White Hawk ready for this weekend, I had both of my slides out at the storage lot while putting stuff away.
As I was getting ready to leave, I got the big slide in, but as soon as I touched the button for the little slide, I lost all power.
We were in my girlfriends car, not the tow rig, so we drove home, I swapped cars, and went back with my tools and jumper cables. I verified 12.6 volts at the battery. I checked the connections at the battery, made sure the fittings were crimped, checked the chassis ground at the nose, and even peeked in the junction box at the front. I even hooked jumper cables to the positive wires, and the ground cable directly to a bolt running through the chassis. Still no power.
I plugged the trailer connection into my tow rig, and immediately had power/lights/water pump. I was able to get the small slide in with no problem.
I checked all of the fuses and breakers in the panel next to the front door, and found nothing obviously wrong. I dont know if this camper has a main circuit breaker for the house battery, but I could not find anything obvious.
Has anyone here ever lost 12v power from their house battery, but still had 12v power through their trailer connection? Just for the sake of being thorough, I brought the house battery home and stuck it on the charger.
Thankfully, I purchased the extended warranty and also have a 30 day limited warranty from the dealer. I was just wondering if there was something easy I could check. Thanks!
