Have problem with the magnum.

My magnum control in the house goes wild and shuts off only my tv in both rooms. The controls go like from invert and the ac in are both on the same time and plugs in bdrm and bunks & tvs are off till it recycles.

Ours have done the same a few times. Usually a reset of the breaker on the magnum restores the power. Think last time it happen we also had a small heater pluged in to one of the bedroom outlets.

the TV outlets and all bedroom outlets go thru the inverter circuits. really don't know why it would cycle on/off unless one of the breakers is getting weak. who knows, it's an RV

Ya that's right like pushing a big Box down the road at 65mph. Thanks for your time. Maybe check out the inverted..... invert.

I assume your plugged into electric? Have you tried it with the inverter turned off?

You didn't mention which model of magnum inverter you have. I had the small 1000 watt (MM-E series) magnum inverter charger and it started doing the same thing and got to the point when it was off it still drained down the batteries. I had it checked and there was an internal fault. I didn't use the inverter side that often so I had it removed and just had a Progressive dynamics charger put in. Down the road if I decide I need an inverter I will install a separate unit.

I think it's a 1000. I have a 2010 39'9 BH did check voltage in AC plugs and I got 119.2 volts. I also have a 50 amps surge protector hardwired down in the power box. I think it could be a weak CB on the inverter itself. Thanks were I here it click off and on. I guess I need to get the book out and look to see if I can replace that CB. I finally got to my destination, so I can now trouble shoot it directly. But thanks for everyones help do appreciate it will update in what I find.

Hi you may want to check your battery or battery's out They may be weak or low on water 12+ volts to make things work well.

Hope this helps Tim

Checked batteries and added water before leaving in October. Found the main CB breakers under the bed and recycled all CB 's . Was under by the inverter and I could hear what was clicking was a CB. Will check all today. Thanks

I did and check of all electronic. Found the problem I was changing courtesy lights I left them rap in tape cause didn't have the proper lights to put in. Finally get new lights and install them yesterday and everything is still running with no problems. Ops check C/w . Work orders complete.
