Hey, guys and gals, I'm new to the motorhome life and recently purchased a 2006 Holiday Rambler Vacationer. I took it on it's 1400 mile maiden voyage a couple of weeks ago. everything worked fine.
I do not have any house battery function....and I think it's due to a recent power surge. I had my MH hooked up to a 30A circuit at my home w/o my surge protector hooked up. I was gone for a couple of days and during that time there were a number of electrical storms in the area. The 30 A circuit breaker at my box was tripped, and my MH microwave no longer works (fried?). There is a tripped GFCI switch in the Bathroom that has tripped and cannot be reset. There is no function of any house electrics. The house batteries a brand new, all switches are in their appropriate "ON" positions
I would imagine there is a major house circuit breaker that has tripped or failed...any suggestions before I take it to the shop? I've reset all the circuit breakers but can't seem to find the problem...
What should be checked at this point or should I just ten it to Camping World or other mechanic to fix the problem?
Also, what is the general lifespan of Dometic Rooftop AC units? While on my road trip when both AC units were running it would trip the circuit breakers occasionally, both when running the generator or Hooked up to a 30A shore power box..
Any suggestions on these matters would help. I'm new to this RV life, so be gentle..
Thanks,
Kevin
