Mh19th

Good morning/afternoon,

I was wondering if there are any other Flagstaff MH19th owners hanging out here.

I have a question... It has DC breakers in the power panel and when I plug it in to A/C I can hear a inverter/converter or a fan. Not sure. How do I power it off of my battery?? Thanks!

the converter fan is what your hearing if its on its likely charging your batteries and or running the lights .
what are your trying to power off your battery ?
you most likely do not have an inverter .

if you have NO power for anything without shore power you most likely have a self reseting breaker tripped. Normally located within a foot and a half from battery .

It's a WFCO 3 stage converter. Model # WF8725P. I guess I just answered my own question.

Is that the case ? You have no power when shore is unhooked ?

Right. No power when not hooked up to shore power. Although it does have a power lift top and that works off shore power

Yes you should.

Follow the positive cable off the battery about a foot and a half
there should be a reset able breaker. It may be tripped assuming your
battery is fully charged there should be 12+ volts on either side of the breaker.

No such luck. Battery is only wired up to the power top motor.

It has an electric motor that raises the roof instead of a hand crank. Well it has a hand crank back up.

theres also a safety switch some where that does not allow electrical to work in the down position. that may be stuck . or have a loose connection .
