Do you drink the water from your fresh tank?
Trailblazers replied to Dennis and Melissa's topic in General Discussion
Yes, we drink and cook from our fresh water tank. I sanitize the tank if it sits for more than a month and use two water filters. Never had a problem. -
Correction, it was the GFCI outlet that the inverter plugged into. I did not notice that was a GFCI plug, until I was going through Galloway Girls post again. Went back to double-check that outlet and walla! The circuit was tripped. Thanks for the help!

Thanks, yes I have the GFCI outlet under the dinette. I tested that when I was plugged into shore power and it tested fine, so I ruled that out. But just double-checked it now, with only the inverter on (not on shore power) and it will not trip, when I test it. I plugged back into shore power and the GFCI outlet tests and resets fine. Looks like that might be it. I'll replace it today. Thanks to all!

Thank you katanapilot and Ronbrink. There doesn't appear to be any CB tripped, but I could see it being the CFCI breaker. Where is the breaker for the inverter located? I don't see a CFCI breaker specifically for the inverter. Also, unforturnately we don't have a microwave.

I'm sorry we got off track here. The first reply after my post said "Your outlets will only work with shore power, a generator, or with an inverter turned on if you have one." I replied our inventer is always on when using the inverter. I should have said my inverter is always on when using the outlets. But then the discussion turned to why not to use the inverter full time and away from the original post. We were out on a long camping trip, when this happened and it was the last BLM spot we camped in. I am home now and want to start working on the problem. The batteries are fully charged and my 110 outlets will not work with the solar. I am wondering if there is a fuse somewhere else in the trailer, other than the fuse/breaker panel or if I have a problem with the transfer switch, maybe? I'm asuming the problem is inverter-related, but not sure. I have the 320 solar watt package, with the Xantrex 2000 watt inverter. Looking for any ideas. Thank you!

The batteries are back to fully charged. They went to down to around 50%, when this happened, but back to 100% now.

I have four AGM batteries and the inverter is always turned on when using the solar.

My 110 outlets are not working with my solar. Everything else works fine; lights, refrigerator, water pump, etc, but no 110 outlets. The outlets work while plugged into shore power or with the generator. This started when I was boondocking and did not notice my refrigerator was still set on DC, from traveling. When I went to make coffee in the morning, the electricity started struggling and eventually went out. I've checked all the possible fuses, breakers and GFCI plug, and all seem to be good. Is there a fuse for the inverter that is located somewhere else in the trailer, or could I have maybe fried the transfer switch? Thoughts? My trailer is an 2018 Elite II.

Thanks for the heads-up. I've got a 780, and it needed a software and map update (estimated time 3 hours).

3500 pound versus 5200 pound axles on a LE2

Great, thank you! -

Trailblazers replied to John and Debbie's topic in General Discussion
i'm curious, approximately how much does the 5200 swap-out run? -
Congrats…to the next 100!!!

Thanks for the heads up, doing it right now.

70% of the time we travel with an empty fresh water tank/30% with it full. Depends on the situation. I guess we’re one of the few that actually drink the water out of our fresh water tank. We use two water filters; one inline and one small half gallon size filter. Haven’t been sick yet. Fingers crossed!

Water Out Fresh Tank - connected to City Inlet
Trailblazers replied to I M in KS's topic in General Discussion
This happens to me every once in a while as well. Check the outdoor shower to make sure both the hot and cold water are turned off. Sometimes, especially after de-winterizing, I have found I left one of the outdoor shower valves open. Make sure they're both off and release any water pressure in the faucet, and sometimes that will fix the problem. -

This is how I ended up buying my Oliver, very sorry to hear this news. They just seem to slowly be getting away from what has made them special.
-
We have the teamworks one as well. Bought it early on before we found out about Foy. We love it, but I'm only 5'6"! Besides making the bathroom look nicer, it's functional as well. Highly recommend!

“Mouse” has gone away with a happy new owner.
Trailblazers replied to John E Davies's topic in General Discussion
Congratulations John on your sale of your Oliver and starting another chapter of your life. You will be missed on this forum. I have enjoyed reading about your posts, you have been such a great resource They have helped me solve many issues and given me several new ideas. Best of luck in your future adventures! -
We watched the episode last night as well. Some good information for sure. On our old trailer, a 23ft Rockwood mini-lite, I kept it at 65 mph at all times. That's just the speed I felt most comfortable driving. With the Elite II, I find myself going closer to 70 mph, because it pulls so well.

I went to Batteries Plus today to look at purchasing 4 new AGM batteries for my 2018 Elite II. The sales guy said he would go with the flooded battery due to the ease of maintenance and cost. The price difference was $1,260 compared to $720. I have never seen the flooded batteries talked about in this forum, so was wondering if anyone had tried them.
-
Agreed, we always talk about why they didn’t put a window over the kitchen sink.

The USB ports and AC plugs not working on the curbside
Trailblazers replied to Trailblazers's topic in General Discussion
Problem solved, thank you dewdev! It was the #3 fuse in the attic. I've owned the trailer for two years and never would have looked in the attic for another fuse panel. Looked almost everywhere else. Thanks to everyone! -
The USB ports and AC plugs not working on the curbside
Trailblazers replied to Trailblazers's topic in General Discussion
Thanks for all the help & feedback. Would this be the 12V fuse under the dinette? I've checked that one, but I'm assuming there is another fuse somewhere that controls only the curbside area? Correction - my ac on that side does work. We park the trailer about 30 mins away and I couldn't remember if it was all outlets or just the USB and DC plugs. My wife (her side of the trailer) thought it was all. Sorry for the confusion. -

No, DC plug is not working either.
