Expert Answers about RV Power Cord

• Heated Drinking Water Hose Power Cord Lengths Available
• It sounds to me like the extension cord you're using or the power cord for the Camco RV Heated Drinking Water Hose # CAM22903 has a short in it or that you're overloading the breaker. I would first test hose without the extensions cord to see if it is working, if not then the short is with the power cord of the hose. If it does work then it could be the extension cord or the breaker having too much drawing on it at once causing it to trip. The AquaFresh Heated Drinking Water Hose for...

• Converting 50 Amp Power Cord to 50 Amp Extension Cord
• It sounds like you bought a second power cord like # A10-5025EDBK instead of an extension cord like # A10-5025EH. So you will simply change out the twist lock end with the Power Grip Replacement RV Power Cord Adapter Receptacle w/ Handle - 50 Amps - Female # CAM55353 to make that cord an extension cord.

• Camco RV Power Defender Voltage Protector - 50 Amp Showing Open Neutral When Plugged Into Generator
• If you are connecting the Camco RV Power Defender Voltage Protector - 50 Amp, # CAM55306, directly to the generator and getting an "Open Neutral" fault when then connecting to RV you most likely have an issue either with the generator outlet the cord running to your RV. I recommend inspecting the outlet, and the RV's power cord for damage, wear or loose connections.

• Shore Power RV Connection is Melting
• To be perfectly honest, unless you're pretty knowledgeable when it comes to RV wiring, you'd be well served by having somebody look at your travel trailer. The discoloration you mention tells me that this has probably been an ongoing problem, and you'd be best off getting it checked out before something bad happens. The power pedestals at RV parks are supposed to be circuit protected, but how well things at RV parks are maintained can vary greatly, as you've likely seen. The Mighty Cord...

• Camco Power Defender Showing Open Neutral When Plugged Into RV
• If you are plugging the Camco RV Power Defender Voltage Protector # CAM55306 directly to the shore power outlet and only getting the "Open Neutral" fault when plugging in the RV then there is an issue either with the outlet itself or your RV cord. The reason the error is only showing when plugging in the RV is because it will only detect it when power is being sent back to the RV/trailer. It is basically needing a bigger load placed on the circuit to identify this fault. I recommend inspecting...

• Troubleshooting Backup Camera Wiring Where Power Wire is Good But Camera Still Does Not Work
• Sounds like the issue is the ground circuit for the backup camera you have on your RV. The power wire seems to be working just fine and connected properly so that would leave the ground as the most likely issue. Make sure the ground wire you are using for the camera is connected solidly and if that doesn't work try running a jumper wire from the wire to a metal portion of the trailer frame.

• How to Check if the Mighty Cord Dogbone RV Power Cord Adapter # A10-1550VP is Working Properly
• The best way to tell if the Mighty Cord RV Power Cord Adapter # A10-1550 is still functioning correctly would be to simply plug it in. If you don't think it is the adapter then I would try running some tests on the products that you are plugging in the adapter to make sure they are functioning properly. I don't have access to how the adapter is wired, but if it were malfunctioning I would not try to repair it on your own. If anything were not repaired correctly then that could result in...

• Troubleshooting A Furrion RV Camera System That Randomly Looses Signal
• If slamming the door on your vehicle caused the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System w/ Night Vision - Rear Mount # FOS43TASF to regain signal and work then it would lead me to believe the issue is with your monitor/power cord. Assuming that the vibration from slamming the door got it to work again it's plausible that a bump in the road caused it to lose the connection in the first place. Check the connection to the monitor and make sure that the power cord is fully inserted...

• Can You Still Use An RV Power Cord With A Burnt Prong
• The plug on your Furrion RV Power Cord Extension - 30 Amp - 36' - Black Item # F3OR36SBOEM should be replaced.

Replace both the plug and the socket and don't use either until they're repaired properly.

• How To Reset An iRV36 RV Stereo System
• The manual for the iRV36 states to hold the power button for 5 seconds to reset the unit. Since you've already tried that I recommend pulling the unit from the wall and removing the fuse to cut the power to the unit. This will allow the unit to fully reset which should solve your issues. If this doesn't solve your issues you may need to replace it. Your iRV36 has mounting dimensions of 4-3/8" W x 4" H x 3" D so the closest fit is the Jensen Mechless RV Stereo # JWM20 at 3-13/16" W x...

• Troubleshooting Bluetooth Connectivity With The Jensen RV Wall Stereo # JWM90A
• If you've already cut the power to your Jensen Wall Mount RV Stereo # JWM90A to reset it and it's still not generating a Bluetooth signal then the stereo is the issue. Since this is a common issue with this specific model my honest recommendation is to just replace it with a different one like the Furrion RV Stereo # DV3300SBL and avoid the frustration of a malfunctioning stereo. This unit has similar dimensions to the # JWM90A and plays audio from radio signals, CDs, DVDs, and devices...

• Troubleshooting A Furrion Vision S Monitor That Won't Turn On
• If you already tested the outlet and are receiving power and the fuse is good inside of your monitor cord and the monitor still will not turn on then you will need to replace the monitor as something internal must be wrong with the monitor. You can replace it with the Replacement 7" Monitor for Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Camera System Item # FR47FR. Before replacing the monitor I do recommend replacing the fuse as it's much cheaper and making sure the 12v outlet in your vehicle doesn't...

• You might consider replacing the Cigarette Lighter End # RVS-505 of the cord on your Blue Ox Patriot 3 braking system. The best route would be to replace the entire power cable but this will involve taking apart the main unit to attach the power wires. We have the 12 Volt Extension Cable # RM-9331 which you can cut the female connector off to attach the wires on the Patriot 3 control board inside the unit.

• Troubleshooting A Furrion RV TV That Shuts Off As Soon As It Is Powered On
• There can be a number of reasons why your TV is shutting off as soon as it turns on, such as a sleep or hibernate setting that may have been enabled, a damaged or faulty circuit board, not enough power to the TV from the receptacle, or a bad power cord. However if you've already replaced the power cord to your Furrion TV, and verified that all other areas are working properly and the problem is still occurring, then the issue is going to be with the TV and you'll want to replace the unit....

• How To Defrost A Furrion RV Refrigerator When You Can't Access The Power Cord
• The Furrion RV Refrigerator # FCR14ACBQABL has a standard wall plug located in the back of the unit. If you can't get to that plug then the next option to defrost it would be to flip the breaker for the wall outlet, which will cut power to the fridge and allow it to defrost. I recommend leaving the doors open to help speed up the defrosting process.

• Camco Power Grip RV Power Maximizer # CAM55025 Tripping Circuit Breakers
• According to my Camco rep, if the outlets you were using at the campsites weren't GFI you might be trying to draw too much power which is throwing the breakers. Trying to draw more than 45 amps would throw the breakers. There could also be a short somewhere in the RV wiring that's causing the breakers to blow. I'd recommend making sure every lamp and appliance in the RV is shut off when you plug in. Then, begin turning on things until the circuit breakers blow.

• Troubleshooting A Furrion RV Soundbar That's Not Functioning
• The Furrion RV Soundbar w/ Bluetooth # FSB2N25MCBL requires 12 volts DC to properly operate so lets start by checking that it's actually getting 12v with a multimeter # PT89ZR. Next check the ground connection and ensure that it's either ground directly to bare metal or into a distribution panel with a ground bar. Once we know the power and ground are good the next step is to check the connections to your speakers and tv. If speaker wires aren't getting a good connection then it will...
