Rain, cold and wind continue. Yesterday was one of the worst days I have spent in the motorhome. Hard to keep warm, too wet to go out. It has been too cold to run the heat pumps so we ran the propane furnace a lot.
The highlight of the day was a visit from Sheila and Zach in the evening! After they left we turned up out two electric space heaters and then turned on the TV. It was all too much for the electric circuit so about half our outlets went dead including both TV's. No problem we thought, just reset the circuit breaker - except it wasn't off. All the breakers looked fine as did the fuses. Don thought it was a GSI outlet in the bathroom that had been pesky so he replaced it (had one on hand as he knew it was going out soon) but that didn't help. We finally went to bed about 11 PM. Neither of us slept well as we keep going over what could possibly have happened. This morning we tried several other things but none helped so we called a RV repair person that comes to the site. He was not available, left a message. While waiting I picked up my Kindle Fire and went online to research "Fleetwood Excursion Electrical Problems". Right away a message from another Don popped up. He had the same problem caused the same. He had gotten a reply that there are two breakers on the inverter (located outside), one had probably popped. Reset it and you are back in business.
I told Don if I had the solution would he buy me the tablet computer I wanted, he agreed. I told him what I had found and in a couple of minutes our problem was fixed. This is about a crazy as it comes, we would have never guessed the problem was the inverter. ..
Didn't get a table but got a new printer!
A littler warmer today and can use the heat pumps, got to the grocery store and Best Buy.
