No power

Recently took out the 30 amp fuse from the battery to look at it and then put it back it (w/o turning off power from the house plug-in) now I have no power..Any ideas about what happened?

If you have a volt ohm meter, and if you are familiar with using it, you could check the fuse to make sure it didn't blow (you can't always see that it is bad).  Take the volt ohm meter leads, touch one to each of the "legs" of the fuse and you should have a "short" if the fuse is good.  

If you are not familiar with a volt ohm meter or don't have one, then unplug from the house, replace the fuse with one of the same amperage, plug the cord back into the house and see if it works.

If it still doesn't work, leave the house cord unplugged, and then check the converter inside the T@B (under the driver's seat, pull the brown lid forward and then down), check the house type circuit breakers to make sure they haven't blow, then you can also check the 12V fuses to make sure they are still good.

If you find a blown fuse, then replace it or reset it, and then plug the house cord back in. 

Why did the fuse blow?  If you had too many things running in the T@B when you plugged the cord, a surge of power would have blown the fuse--too much power too quickly.

If the outlet you're plugging into is not rated at enough amps to carry what is running in the T@B, then you do need to be careful of how much you are running in the T@B. 

Hollar if you don't understand, or have more questions.

Thanks Verna. The power is back after opening the converter and checking to see that the fuses are all in tightly…re-inserted the battery fuse; re-hooked up the power cord to the house and Voila! The power returned…!!!

GREAT!  Now for some camping!
