Prowler Trailer Electrical Problem

Recommended Posts

I recently purchased a Fleetwood Prowler tow behind RV camper to live in while we build our house. It is a camp RV (so no title or real info). There is a plate on the outside of the camper with "Official choice of the 1980 Winter Olympics"; so I'm assuming it is a 1979 or 1980 model. But have no real info. It is 18 feet long.

When I purchased it we checked all the electric outlets in the camper and they all worked. After moving it to our property, we hooked it up to electricity and no problems. It has one outlet in the bathroom, one outlet behind where the refrigerator goes, one on the kitchen counter, one by the back door, one by the dining table, and one in the very front of the camper (by the couch/fold out bed). Last night, three of the outlets just stopped working abruptly, all at the same time: behind the refrigerator, by the back door and on the kitchen counter. The other outlets still work. I'm assuming a fuse blew, but have been completely unable to find any kind of fuse box.

Any body know where the fuse box might be and what the blasted thing may look like? I'm completely NOT electrically inclined, so have no idea what I'm looking for. I've looked in all the outdoor cubbies and did not see anything that looked like a fuse box to me, but as I said, I have no idea what I'm looking for. Any help appreciated especially if you have any pictures of what the blasted thing should look like.

Thanks!

I used to have a 1976 Fleetwood Prowler. The fuse box was under the dinette seat on the street side of the trailer. It was behind a drop-down cabinet door. on the front of the seat support. Hope this helps. Don't have trailer anymore so can't send pic.

Locate the GFI and reset it. Much more likely that the GFI tripped. If it trips again, unplug everything plugged into a GFI protected outlet and reset the GFI. If it trips with nothing plugged in, you may have a bad GFI or wiring issue (clearly if you have an outside outlet, it could have water in it).

If the GFI doesn't trip with all the appliances unplugged, start plugging them in one at a time. That should help identify the grimlin.
