Not getting power when plugged in

kteichert · January 2021

The Alde is not getting power when plugged in but either are the gfci switches. I tried resetting the one in the kitchen and the one in the bathroom, I am plugged in to shore power at home. The circuits don't look blown- I already changed the barrel fuse in the Alde and the one in the fuse box- they had both blown but I think I might have had the Alde on when I plugged it in recently.

Any suggestions for other things to look at?

Check the circuit breakers in the converter, also. And, check the source: the circuit breakers where you are plugging in from.

The red light is on on the cord going into the camper would there still be reason to check the circuits where I am plugged in from?

@kteichert, since the light is illuminated on your 30 amp cord, you have power from the campground pedestal, so those breakers are not the issue. As @pthomas745 suggested, you need to see if one or more circuit breakers inside the trailer (at the converter) have tripped. If those are OK, make sure that the power cord to the Alde is plugged in. You did not indicate which T@B model you have, so I am not sure where your Alde's 110 AC plug is located. On my 2019 320 S, it is under the bench seat in the Alde compartment. Regardless of your model, it will be close to your Alde. (NOTE: Always make sure that your Alde is turned "off" at the control panel before connecting or detaching your 30 amp cord to/from the electrical source. If you don't, it may cause a fuse to blow, or a circuit breaker to trip.)

Make sure the 120volt plug for the Alde is actually plugged in. They tend to wiggle out.

thanks all those things are checked Something is stopping shore power from getting to anything in the camper- gfi outlets dont work and i dont think battery is getting charged Thoughts?

Do the lights and fan work when you are plugged into shore power?

Just to eliminate any confusion, turn the battery switch off. This can help isolate the issue.
If you are currently using a surge protector, consider removing it to eliminate a variable.
Inspect the 30 amp plug. Are you sure you have turned and locked it into position?
Just to make sure the TaB AC breakers have not partially tripped, turn each AC breaker switch on and off.

I realize this is an old post, but I am having the same problem, @kteichert, what was your fix?

@TarBucks @kteichert has not been active on the forum since October 2021. Sometimes members will respond directly to a PM sent through this format. I am also going to recommend you start a new thread, detailing the year and model of your t@b so that active forum members can assist you directly. Good luck getting an answer and solving your problem.

Experts, chime in please.

TarBucks I'm assuming you have fixed your issue- I can't remember for sure but I think I did not reset all the gfi switches- there is one in the bathroom that I missed. Once I reset them all everything worked.
