The controller reads 11.1 which is below the 11.5 it says is the marker for the 601 reading. I no longer have the 601 code but we’ll see in the morning if it comes back.

I do not know what a multimeter is but I’ll bet I don’t have one. Sure hope my electrician shows up tomorrow. I did a hard reset a few minutes ago so we’ll see if that helps. It might be those 40 amp fuses if I can find them.

Where exactly is that fuse? Under the dinette? I remember seeing three 40 amp fuses near the top of the breaker panel. I have a 2018 Elite 1.

Sorry to read of your issue Dan. To add more misery to my own 110 volt AC problem my solar/battery controller is now reading 601 as well, and I have no more juice in the batteries to run my fan (or lights) while I wait for my electrician. I am hoping this 601 code is due to all the rain and clouds we have had this past week in Florida as I have not had this problem before. I hooked up my solar suitcase today to help charge the batteries but it didn't raise the level very much. I am hoping it was because of too many clouds again, but it was working. When I hooked the truck to the trailer the batteries were charging fine but that is an expensive way to recharge my AGM batteries. My electrician is supposed to be here tomorrow to replace the transfer box, but if anyone has any words of comfort (or wisdom) I would appreciate hearing them. Is it possible I am getting this 601 code because one of the fuses blew that are in both positive lines running from panels to controller and controller to batteries?

Thanks. We live in Gainesville, Florida. This problem is not preventing us from taking a trip. We just returned from a nine week tour out west and glad this didn't happen out there. My electrician called me right after my last response, He lived through his second Covid debacle. We are set up for Tuesday morning now. I appreciate your offer.

Still waiting on my electrician. He got Covid-19 almost immediately after receiving the new transfer box and arranging our appointment. He told me to wait for him if I could. So I wait. Thanks for the info.

Got your voice mail. A written "fix" with illustrations is the only way I would even come close to understanding what you want to tell me (or be able to instruct my electrician). I am a carpenter with almost zero electrical or plumbing skills. I do appreciate your wanting to help me.

John, After this who;e debacle is finished I will see what I can do. Got to see how it all plays out. Why not just have a moderator change the title?

Thanks. My electrician I use for my house wants to do it for me. I am glad. Now I am crossing my fingers that there wasn't more damage done that I didn't see.

Update: My Progressive Dynamics transfer switch model has been discontinued. Their website states the new replacement model number is: PD5110010Q I ordered a new one from E-trailer and it will arrive Wednesday. Now I need to find an electrician. Product Details Qty Total Progressive Dynamics Transfer Switch with Quick Flip Connectors - Plastic Case - 30 Amp - 120V - PD5110010Q 1 $129.12 Sales Tax: $9.04 Shipping: Free Shipping 13.05 less Discount ($13.05): $0.00 Total: $138.16

No they did not. And Progressive Industries just got back with me and informed me they did not make the product, Progressive Dynamics did. Now what to do?

I filed a claim with Progressive and also Oliver. Thanks for all the help!!! Do you think a licensed electrician could install a new one for me? Or do I need to go to a RV place?

I discovered the problem. The lunchbox basically blew up at one connection. Pics will show. Now what? Call Jason or Progressive?

There is power to the trailer from the 30amp RV cord (both ends) but no power IN the trailer and a dead ems. I will look for the lunchbox and remove cover and look in there next.

I will do so. I also will clean the 30 amp cord ends in case the wet weather these past few days traveling gobbed it up. I just can't imagine there being anything wrong inside the trailer, but I'll look again today. Jason will be my next call if I can't get this figured out. I just don't want to bother him if it is something simple.

There was a ton of rain today in Atlanta area and perhaps the female end got wet? Would that cause this?

Yes. Normal.

I located the ems progressive surge protector. It was under the dinette seat farthest back. It was completely blank. No lights whatsoever. I read the Ollie post about it and I bet I need a new one. No power is getting to the trailer. There is power from the house, the cord is lit up blue at receptacle, and we've used this connection without fail all summer traveling. It's just now, after three days of driving and using my batteries that it has stopped working. I don't have a way to check the female end that hooks to the trailer, but we've never had a problem until now. Plus I tried it on the front of the trailer as well with no luck.

Thanks. Tomorrow morning I will begin again. I appreciate all the help from everybody so far.

Do you know where my EMS display would be located in my 2018 Elite 1? Lost all 110 power and trying to find out why.

Any videos or instruction will be most appreciated. Not so hot of an electrician. Really has me stumped. Never had a problem like this one. Been working fine for four years and then bam! Three days on the road using 12 volt and then arrive home to plug into house and nada.

Frank, I have a 2018 Legacy Elite 1 and the only thing in the rear attic above is the 12-volt fuse box with all the little fuses and some unused cords for something or other. I would think the surge protector was below the dinette but there is nothing in there that shows me any readings whatsoever. So I really don't know where it is or what it looks like, but would love to know.

When we arrived home today from a nine week trip I plugged into my new (and operating) 30 amp receptacle and no juice whatsoever. Very strange. No tripped GFI to reset under dinette (couldn't turn on or off). The main breakers were fine but I did reset in case. 12 volt works fine but I really need my A/C (in Florida). Not sure what to check. Inverter? Or other gizmo I am not aware of? Please help. I also tried hooking up to the receptacle in front of trailer but still nothing. Not getting any 110 juice to inside of trailer at all.

Good question and one we did not really take seriously or even consider when purchasing. When we travel we carry many extra ziplock bags of composting material as well as bricks of new coco coir in case of trouble such as stated above. And it happened to us. And for a long time due to doctors not being able to identify why this diarrhea was happening. What we had to do was constantly change the compost. There really wasn't any other alternative due to our boondocking choices and then eventually being stuck at basecamp with no toilet facilities other than our composting toilet. Not a good situation. But would we change to the conventional toilet? Never. Too much waste of precious clean water, boondocking abilities severely curtailed, and no desire to deal with the stinky black water on a regular basis. Getting sick happens. And no matter what sickness you get a travel trailer is no fun to be sick in. A bed at home or in the hospital would certainly be preferred over being held prisoner in less than a hundred square feet of living space. We never really considered either one of us getting sick and what it would do to ruin our plans and make camping a nightmare. But getting sick is NOT the norm. We are eager to get back on the road as soon as possible and still glad we have a composting toilet, solar power, and plenty of fresh water.

Not to mention Bill Callahan's latest record titled Gold Record. Great stuff.
