Thanks Herman! I will do that!

The lessons that I have learned this past 24 hours; I now know how to use a voltage meter, I know where the inverter/charger is located(under the frig.), I now know what I should be testing with the voltage meter, I know now to check the source of where the electricity comes in(shore cord) first and I have learned that there are some pretty wonderful people in this organization that are willing to help someone out by sharing their knowledge about the various problems and solutions that they have incurred! Thanks to you all, I now have a working coach!!!! The problem was burnt wires in the shore cord! Changed the cord out and BAM.....things are working again!!!! Thank you all!!!!!!

Thanks Kay and Rich for your responses. I have a 30amp/3 prong shore cord. As far as what is turned on in the coach is by choice. The AC had been running fine until we experienced a couple of 100% humidity days, then my problems began. Maybe just a coincidence but you never know. No I haven't used the Auto cool on the AC, the gradual shut down of the units are on their own along with the lights dimming and very little juice from the outlets. I do have a Fleetwood manual but the information is vague. No wiring schematics in it. The most information I have is that the chassis fuses are under the hood on the drivers side, the breaker box is under the frig and there are 2 house batteries in the steps of the coach. I have nothing on the generator, although it was serviced this past Monday and seemed to be running well. I have limited access to the Internet, meaning it depends if I can pick a signal up with my I-pad, I will try to get more information on the rig. The breaker box and fuses are not labeled so it's gonna take time to figure which is for what. You are dealing with a totally green RV'er! I will go into town and see if I can at least find a parts place, replace the 30amp shore cord to start with. Any help in resolving this problem is greatly appreciated, !

Thanks for answering guys. Ask me about fractures, heart attacks and special needs people and I generally have the answers but when it comes to my RV, I am just learning. Be patient and gentle with the questions you all! Believe me I do appreciate the help!!!! When I am plugged into Shore power or I have the generator on the AC works for a short time/ about 2 hours, then it's just the AC fan for about an hour then the AC unit completely shuts down. I have the AC fans, the house lights and the refrigerator running right now, everything else is off. I just started the engine so the lights are bright in the coach and in the frig. I have no idea where the inverter is? I did check the shore cord and the box it connects to for the generator, those are good. Thanks for the help thus far.

Whether I am plugged into a shore line or am running on my Onan generator I am experiencing a gradual power loss until I start the rigs motor then everything goes back to normal. I am very new to the Motorhome way of life and bought this 2007 Fleetwood Terra35N a year ago. Haven't had a lot of problems except for the electric steps, motor burning out x2 and had to have the brain(not sure what that is or where it is at?) replaced in Memphis last summer. I am currently on vacation in northern Wisconsin where there aren't any RV service center available. I was not given the electrical schematics to the rig so it is difficult for me to figure this one out. I have tripped the breakers to see if there is a problem there but again I have to start the engine to regain any power that I have lost. I do hear a clicking sound once the engine is started. Need help! Thanks, dmtheys

Bought a Fleetwood Motorhome last summer and found out that the converterbox for the RV TV doesn't pick up any real good stations. Now I want to put satelite in the RV but can not find anyone in the Rio Grande Valley who installs. I called Dish and they do not have any qualified servicemen for the job. I've pretty much decided on Dish because I can use my home receiver but....now I am stuck. Any suggestions would really be appreciated.
