Noise

Hi Hoping someone can help. My mom lives in a 2010 Keystone Montana. A running noise like something trying to crank but then lights cut off then back on and it repeats. Sound like it is coming from outside propane vent for heater. Heater is not on. Any ideas

Noise and lights stopping and then starting up again and repeating sounds like an auto reset circuit breaker tripping, cooling down, resetting, overheating, and tripping again. That’s why I never felt like an auto reset circuit breaker was the correct device for that application. But I don’t have a good guess what a “something trying to crank out” noise would be.

Try the breaker and as DQ stated a generator is a great back up
