Alde control panel has no power

ealderson

Hi, I have a new 2017 T@b that has been in the garage since I bought it in March. Yesterday I pulled it out for it's maiden trip and there is no power at the Alde control panel. I have checked the fuse and breaker  in the T@b panel and the fuse is good and the breaker seems OK. All the other options in the camper that use power are working. Any ideas about what to try next? Thanks

First thing, look under the next cushion where the plug is and make sure it hasn't wiggled out of the socket. Happened to me and a few others. My redneck solution was to duct tape the cord to the socket. Other than that, there could be dead fuses on the unit. Look at "Fuses for Newbies" for the location of the hidden fuses and what to replace them with - they are glass fuses. Best of luck!  Let us know what you find.

Thanks Ratkity. It was the fuse on top of the Alde. Problem solved!

Thanks Ratkity. We are new Tab owners. We set up for the second time out and no hot water followed your advice. Problem solved.  What size fuse are they ( small writeing  and old eyes) LGO

Here is a list of every (almost) fuse you can possibly imagine and pictures of their locations:
