Is there a 110 plug when running on batteries? I have checked all the plugs for 110 when on 12v but nothing! But I have one plug under the dining table that has nothing even when I on 110v hookup.
The RV is a 33f 1985 Auto Mate Class A. I was told I have a converter on it! I had trouble with the charging system, the house batteries were not charging. They replaced two relays to fix the problem.
ANSWER Hi Gary, I have been doing a little research on determining what exactly is going on with your RV, and based on my research, I am going to assume that the model RV you are talking about is the 1985 Royale. I have come up with a few suggestions on how to resolve this problem.
When it comes to the inner workings of the 110-volt system on an RV there can be many major or minor issues that would cause the problems that you are describing. The inoperable 110-volt outlet in your RV could be something as simple as a tripped breaker on that circuit in the electrical compartment of your RV or as complicated as problems in the actual wiring leading to the outlet.
Even though I firmly believe in doing it yourself, I am also very hesitant in trying to work on problems with the 110-volt electrical system of an RV unless I have the actual wiring schematics for that model. All RV manufacturers have their own unique ways of wiring their RVs.
Since Auto Mate is no longer manufacturing RVs, I could not tell you where to get these electrical schematics if you do not have them already. If you blindly try to fix the problem yourself, you may create even more problems that could result in a fire, etc. I would strongly suggest that if you are uncomfortable working with the electrical system that you take your rig to a reputable RV Repair Shop and have them take a look at it for you.
We have two inverters in our motorhome, one near the driver’s compartment and one in the back bedroom. See the picture to the left to see how it is installed.
We use the one in the driver's compartment to power our laptop computer while going down the road or boondocking. This keeps us from having to run the generator while traveling on the road.
The Inverter in the back bedroom is used primarily when we have our grandkids with us. They have to have that Xbox going even when boondocking.
