Fltravelers

I see you have covered most of the same states my wife and I have.

We are involved in a hobby that requires us to arrive on site at a time when it is to our advantage to get unloaded and setup in a reasonable time. We don’t operate any of the DC equipment without the TV or shore power hooked up. It is not uncommon for her to be doing her thing like putting rooms out and the sort while I am leveling the trailer etc. Now that I have at least this part of the DC electrics sorted out we find the electric motors on the landing gear and stabilizers sound better and don’t pop any fuses. I didn’t make any changes to the slide rooms except removing the receiver and insulating the control wires to it.

My receiver still has an open circuit on the “Manual Switch” ground lead after sitting for a week with no power to it. My landing gear jacks have now been operated several times in moving the trailer with out any power interruption. Before I did away with the receiver they popped the only 30-amp fuse in the system at least one time very time I used them.
