Glideout room problem

Occasionally while running the rooms in on my 2010 RK3000 the pump motor stops and all the lights go out. The system resets after about 5 seconds. I suspect a circuit breaker problem, but not sure how to diagnose. Has anyone else had this problem? I searched the site but nothing came up.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I replaced with bluesea terminal fuse blocks. Plenty of brand choices out there.

Thanks for the link. My Montana has two 50 amp circuit breakers in that area. When I disconnected the cable which I thought brought power to the CB that's connected to the pump, there was still power to it. Maybe it was coming from the converter? Also, I'm confused as to why the lights and all the 12v power in the unit goes off at the same time. I like to understand a system when I work on it. Clearly the folks at Keystone have NO IDEA what they're talking about. I don't know why they even bother to answer the phone.

Wrong fuse. one goes to the trailer DC system like lights and such, the other to the slides and landing gear motor. try the other circuit breaker

Mine is a 2007, but I would expect yours to be similar. The cable from the battery goes to the breaker on the left and jumpers to the breaker on the right. The load side wire on the left breaker goes to the pump, and only the pump. The load side wire on the right breaker goes to everything else. The orange wire has an inline fuse and goes to my front jacks. I do not have auto leveling.

Tripping of the left breaker does not affect the right breaker. But it is possible your breakers are wired in series rather than parallel. That could explain your problem. They should be parallel.

Note that I used the term parallel incorrectly. The breakers are not in parallel. The loads on each are independent of each other. But the breakers definitely are not, and should not be, wired in series.

It could be that both are going south after that many years. These are super cheap automotive parts costing around five bucks retail. Quality not! You can buy quality breakers for around $25.
