Need help!
Ok, so I'm at a campground with my family and woke up this morning to the fridge and freezer not very cold at all and the ac running at on hi and 55 degrees but the camper felt warm. Air seems to be blowing cool but Def not 55 degrees. What could this be? I unplugged electric and ran fridge on propane and it's cold again. Is this just a bad electric hookup? One mistake I did make was when we got here last night I plugged the 30 amp cord in when the campground breaker was on instead of turning it off first, could I have blown something? All fuses are good, don't know where to go from here. Thanks for any help in advance

It's the breakers you should be looking at, not fuses.

Open outside panel and try to reset the two reset buttons. Not knowing your model but might have 2 fuzes under the black cover as well

Hi,
What year is your trailer?
Has the refer and freezer ever worked and got cold?
Have you ever cooled down to 55 degrees using the ac?
What is the exterior temp?

2016, got it in November. This is definitely the warmest it's been since we've had it, about 87 degrees out. The fridge and freezer have always worked perfect in the past

Did you follow the Norcold troubleshooting in your manual? Do you have a fault code on your control board? You might need to reset the board if indicated in the manual?
Norcold says the refer does not cool well in hot temps. (Over 90 degress)

What model is your Norcold, maybe I can find a guide for you.

Most trailers will not freeze you out in warmer temps. Fans are helpful. Keeping shades closed helps too. If you are running your AC that cold, you could ice it up.

Probably 2 separate problems which are now noticeable due to the near 90 temps...
A single RV A/C is not going to drop the temps from 87 to 55 but it should hold 15 degrees below outside temps. Some entry-level TTs don't have a lot of insulation so the A/C runs a lot in 90 degree temps... If it's 90 out & it's holding 75 degrees, that's probably the best your RV's insulation allows...
If your RV fridge is cooling on propane, you may have a problem with the A/C heating element which is an easy/affordable fix.
If your TT is still under warranty than I would have the dealer look at it. Otherwise you're out your time trying to trouble shoot problems they can easily fix...

Having been on FL at 85 degrees AC is working. Switch output from ducts for more efficient operation
Lever is on grillwork
Look carefully. Buy meter for 10$ at hardware and check voltage. If everyone is running AC some parks can't keep up.

Couldn't figure it out. At night it was nice but started blowing little chunks of ice out. Then today it was running but didn't even feel cool, all iced up

Icing up usually means airflow is restricted. Is air going to ducts or straight out of AC?
