When we tried to leave this am, had everything all packed up, and ready to pull out. So did the final shore power disconnect and now nothing works, no power.
MAGNUM Remote said “dead battery” and would not drive anything. Plugged back into shore power, same thing, nothing. Transfer switch works, but brand new BB GC3 house battery was drained. No breakers tripped, nothing.
Was able to get Mobile Tech out to help. He was able to “jump start” the Magnum Converter/Inverter, with a Battery Booster device ( that i will now order for future use), and are now back in ops with AC on shore power, with the inverter Remote showing that it is charging battery. Strange thing though, FIREFLY G6A is now erratic…it has some lights on, some off and none of the light switch panels work. I disconnected the power to the control panel and let is sit for a bit then reconnected…same thing, some things work DC some things don’t, specifically with the light control panels and lights being on in certain areas.
Have an appointment with NIRV center in the AM, hopefully can figure out what happened, and get it fixed…..:rolleyes:
 
Update

So NIRVC was able to fit us in. The Inverter is busted and apparently it caused
the FIREFLY system to go bad as well. Waiting for the inverter to come in and Firefly will be at least three weeks.

Lucky though they let you stay in their parking lot plugged in. So we have power, and limited DC…but at least we didn’t have to pay for a hotel.
Thanks NIRVC!
 
(update 2)

So started having problems again with power issues and the now NEW Magnum MS3012L inverter freaking out and shutting down. Doing the same thing apparently as the older one did, but this time when trying to run the front AC.
Confirmed that pulling very little current from the park 50 AMP pedestal, EMS reads no errors, with decent voltage 117 on one leg and 120 on the other.
When try to run the front AC, and only the front AC, back AC is off, Res Fridge and some other minimal amp draws on, the Inverter shuts down, and shows immediate low battery. Have to do the Battery Boost function, connecting the chassis battery to the house battery, to bring the inverter back on line. Once I do that everything looks good, battery charges, shows full charge rate on the BMS monitor, MRC50 remote panel shows battery charging and inverter working …. Will have to get someone to come out and help me troubleshoot this one…not sure what changed to now we can’t run the front AC.
