The pump fuse clearly has power because it's connected to the same bus as the other working fuses. That red LED blown fuse indicator will only light when there is a load on the circuit. If the circuit is open, say the pump switch is off, or the pump/switches became disconnected, then there is no load and the LED stays off. With the DC panel fuse pulled out, try the switching the pump on to see the LED lights. That will tell you if the is an open connection somewhere in the circuit. Remember the circuit includes both the hot wire and ground. It's most likely that an open connection would be at the pump, either one of the the switches, or possibly at the back of the DC panel where the pump circuit connects to the fuse. Least likely that it's a broken wire, bad pump, or open ground. I believe the pumps ground goes directly to the main ground bus, it does not go to the switches, although the switches will have ground potential through the pump motor windings. It's possible that the connections to the bathroom switch have come off, but it sounds like you might have checked that already. You're on the right track thinking it's an electrical problem because the green light does not work. However, I would recheck your valve lineup because it sounds like you're trying to draw water in through the boondocking connection. It is possible that the pump is pressurized and the pressure switch is open preventing the pump from running further. . Good luck and let s know what you find. Geoff

In looking at the circuit description that @Steve and MA provided, it seems that there are two separate feeds. The 30 amp main feeds circuits 1 through 3 which include the water heater, AC and Inverter. These would appear to be circuits that run only on shore power. The water heater (20 amps) must be a propane/AC unit and it makes sense that this would not be energized from the inverter, likely not the AC either. Then there is the "SUB-MAIN INVERTER SUB-PANEL 25 AMP." You could infer that this 25 amp feeds loads that run from the inverter (circuit 4 receptacles and circuit 5 microwave). This is not the correct circuit description for your trailer because stove top load is not listed. However, it does provide clues for what could be going on in your trailer. If the inverter does not support the AC, then it probably doesn't support a high amp induction cooktop either. That would be crazy that a stove cannot be used while boondocking! There are some Xantrex models that have built in circuit breakers for split feeds like this. So there could be the AC sub panel under the dinette feeding AC inverter circuits, and shore power breakers built into the inverter for the water heater, and stove-top. Just an idea to look at, I hope that's not the case though. Geoff .

Lamar, sad to hear of your troubles! I have no idea how those stoves are wired, but they should be GFIC protected (Ground fault interrupter circuit). Those can trip for numbers of reasons. It could have its own GFIC receptacle under the cabinet somewhere, or it could be fed from an another GFIC receptacle. I'd check all the AC receptacles to see if they are GFIC and if they are tripped. Don't forget the one above the kitchen counter and the outdoor plug. If you find one tripped that won't reset, let us know for further investigation. Also check the AC wiring diagram in your manual, it should show whether the stove circuit is GFIC protected, and give clues where to look. The stove wouldn't be related to the 12v outlets. If you're talking about the USB outlets, they might have a tiny pushbutton switch on the front of them. The cigarette lighter type of 12v outlets are notorious for having the wire terminal pop off the back, but unlikely for that to happen to both of them. If the fuse is okay, then I'd take a close look at whatever you're testing them with. Good luck and let us know what you find. Geoff

Good idea! You could, but isolate it from the TV so you don't end up with a back-feed condition. Just use a DPDT switch wired to break the TV circuit while energizing the back-up lights from the trailer battery, and vice-versa. Geoff

Jd, good modification! Our friends had their bikes stolen off the back rack and they heard it happening. They wished there was a rear light to scare them off. I was just thinking, it would also be real easy to add a 3-way rocker switch under the attic cabinet that could be reached from bed! I remember when looking for the street-side light switch leg that I also found the overhead lights wire. So I'd just keep looking, it should be there and perhaps a different color. Also, the switch leg is on the positive side. Anxious to hear how it goes! Geoff

Disclaimer - I have zero knowledge of these units, I 'm just going on basic trouble shooting methods. If you did a factory reset on the CP, then it probably needs to be re-paired with the devices (furnace, Water Heater, and AC ... assuming that the AC is also a Truma). Start by going into the CP setup/pairing mode to see what devices are connected and/or available for pairing. It could be that the furnace was never paired during initial setup. The manual should have instructions for this. If the Furnace is not listed, then check the furnace fuse because it needs to have power to talk to the CP. Next check the LIN cable as @Galway Girl showed in the video, only it's the one for the furnace not the water heater because you said the water heater was working fine. Look closely at the pins on the LIN cable, they could be bent and not making proper connection. If the furnace end is fine, then check the CP end. Last but least likely, the furnace board might have issues. This is a good start, but there could be other problems to. Hopefully someone with more familiarity will chime in. Good luck and let us know what you find

I design stuff with a simple and free on-line program called Tinkercad, you can export designs as an STL file that is 3-D printer ready. A simple bezel design would take a few minutes. I started off using Voice-to-CAD, and AI generated designs, until I figured out how much easier Tinkercad is. I just watched a few tutorial videos on Youtube and the printer is pretty much plug and play. Honestly, I'm still re-wiring my brain to think of 3-D printing first, it opens up project possibilities that couldn't be done before. There are literally thousands of free ready to print designs for all sorts of things, including some great gadgets and parts you won’t find anywhere else. Check out websites like Thingaverse. Some designs, such as boxes, can be adjusted to any size, they have working hinges, latches, and sealing gaskets. A myriad of materials are available, including ABS, Nylon, and TPU, a rubber like material for flexible parts like gaskets. That “sealed” the deal for me. For mounting a new stereo in your larger hole, you could use JB weld to glue a couple of overlapping wood cleats on the backside of the hole for the mounting screws. Then make a bezel like Bill’s to fit. Geoff

Jd, you make a good point, I replaced a Furrion DV1230, and it is indeed smaller than the older unit you have. I 'll go back and make an edit.. BTW, a guy like you needs a 3-D printer! I can’t list all the tool parts, jigs and adapters Iv’e made. It's another tool you don’t know you need until you have it. You could actually print some pretty decent white grill covers, or a larger bezel to fit a new stereo in that oversized hole. Just sayin’ Cheers! Geoff

I get switches from DigiKey. Use the more common DPDT like the original one. Part number CW110-ND. Haven't seen any with threads and nut, so be carful to drill the hole the correct size. The problem is that the fiberglass is too thick for the switches to snap in properly. Therefore some adhesive is needed. Oh, be carful to keep track that the center wire goes back to center, the other two don't matter. Good luck! Geoff

After reading @aaronorange recent post about their missing furnace knockout, I was thinking that they would have benefited from a borescope to look for it. My daughter gave me one for Christmas last year and it’s been way more useful that I would have ever believed. I use it all the time, especially in the Oliver. I’ve found wire routing paths, looked in concealed spaces, found dropped screws. I even found a lost factory screw that was grinding away under the sewer pipe. The price for a horoscope varies from around $30 to hundreds of dollars. Vevor company has models for around $65 that are ideal. It’s one of those tools you don’t know you need until you have it. Cheers! Geoff

Jd, my Oliver came with Furrion fs65w speakers. They have white grills and at $20 each on Amazon they are a bargain. You might spend as much just changing the grills. I actually looked into replacing the Furrion speakers with Polk Audio DB652 to improve the sound. They have a broader frequency range and the sensitivity is improved from Furrion’s 86dB to 92dB. However, they have black grills, would need a 5.5” to 6” adapter, and they are about $50 each. The return didn’t justify the cost. I took another route and painstakingly measured the Furrion’s speakers Fs (free-air resonance frequency) to determine if a 3-D printed sealed enclosure or baffling would improve their sound. This involved injecting a range of frequencies through the stereo, then measuring the voltage at the speaker terminals through a 10 ohm resistor. The highest voltage was at 188 Hz, which is the point where the speaker resonates most freely. This indicated that the speaker suspension was on the stiff side and improvement was unlikely After all that, just the new IVR stereo was enough improvement that I completely forgot about replacing the speakers. Cheers! Geoff

You can drill with the collar in place, either a 1/4" self-drilling screw, or drill a hole for a #8 sheet metal screw. Best to tape it on before screwing, otherwise the holes can be hard to re-align. Those collars are a pain to install, and you were right to tape it in place. There was another post today where it looked like the blank hole seal might have fallen off someone's furnace. The PEX lines are definatly in the way, my duct was squashed to fit through, and the water heater by-pass valve handle had worn a hole in the duct. While you're in there, take a look at the water heater plumbing. There is a by-pass loop and valve to isolate/by-pass the water heater. This was one of the lines interfering with my duct. I removed it, mostly because I put in a hot water recirculating system, but it opened up space too. I don't anticipate ever needing to by-pass the water heater like that, and most folks probably don't even know it's an option because the valve is hidden under the duct. If there is ever a problem during travels, I'm just shutting the water off or bypassing the water heater by other means.

When I called Dometic for a part number last year, the lady couldn't figure out the part number for the little grommets. So she sent a bunch of parts including all the grommets, new knobs, new decal. For free! She was also very fun and cheerful to talk to.

Yes screws are necessary on all the fittings, clamps will not compress rigid fittings onto the furnace flange. But screws are not enough, also use foil tape on all the joints it holds very well and seals too! I see some remnants of the old foil tape in your picture, and it's readily available at most hardware stores. Geoff

390 ah is three batteries, 640 ah is two. You have three batteries, 390 ah. Also if you select one of the three batteries on your app, then go to page two, it will show capacity... 130 ah each

Ours has two sizes of grommets, double the trouble!

This was discussed in the Escape forum, someone linked a replacement from Panther RV https://pantherrvproducts.com/3314013-026p/ You should give them a call.

I’ve never liked the Furrion DV1230 entertainment center, it’s not user friendly and the front panel is difficult to read in low light. The tiny remote is absolutely terrible, and the larger upgrade remote isn't much better. I usually control it with the phone app when I remember where to find it, for some reason they called it "ES Control,” and it constantly drops out. The tech is outdated. Iv’e wanted to upgrade it for years, but never found a unit that met my requirements and justified the expense: Has to fit into the existing cutout (7-3/8" x 4") Controls that are intuitive and easy-to-read Decent remote control HDMI ARC ports on front and back (not the cheap HDMI pass-through ports) Current Bluetooth technology Two speaker zones Cost under $200 I found IRV Technology’s model IRV62 for a $180, and it had everything I wanted. https://a.co/d/0dODdwBi The controls couldn’t be simpler or easier to read. It does have a few less features than the Furrion, but nothing that will be missed. Like only 2 speaker zones compared to Furrion’s 3 and the Optical audio port that caused horrible sounding audio phasing issues between TV and stereo speakers. The IVR62 was a close fit on paper. But unfortunately Oliver had cut an oversized opening for the Furrion and miss-drilled extra mounting holes. Consequently, the new faceplate didn’t quite cover the extra holes, and the new mounting holes were on the very edge of the cutout. This was resolved with white JB weld on the edge of the oversized cutout to strengthen the screw holes, and I made a thin 3-D printed bezel that covers the extra holes. It’s not even noticeable. The print file is available if anyone has the same problem, or I made extra bezels if anyone needs one. The rest of the installation was easy, although it took a minute to figure out how the Furrion was mounted. There are 4 screws behind top and bottom trim pieces. These trims have small notches on the ends where they can be popped off with a screwdriver. It’s highly recommended to identify and mark each of the 4 speaker cables before cutting the connections. Use the wire color code legend on the back of the Furrion case to identify the right rear, left rear, right front, and left front. Also the IRV’s yellow “Bat” wire and the fused red “+12” wire are both connected to the Olivers hot wire, which was purple in my case. Other than that, the wiring is straight forward. The new stereo is so much easier to use, it works seamlessly with Bluetooth and the TV, and it sounds better too. I’ll be using it more often now that I don’t need a flashlight and reading glasses to operate it. Cheers! Geoff

There are not many decent replacements available, but the iRV RV62 was a good fit on paper. However there were fitment issues because Oliver miss-drilled the Furrion mounting holes so they weren't covered by the IRV faceplate, and the Furrion opening was cut to large so that the IRV mounting screws were on the very edge of the cutout. This was fixed with white JB weld to strengthen the edge holes, and a 3-D printed Bezel to cover the miss-drilled holes (can hardly tell there is a bezel in the picture). Let me know if you need one, I made extras. I'll probably do a post on the modification pretty soon because just the improvement of the controls makes it worth doing. BTW, I'm also annoyed by bright LED's, to the point where I posted a modification on how to dim the main panel switch LED's with in-line resistors. It's called something like "I was awakened by flashing blue lights." The IRV unit goes dim when off, not too annoying at all. Cheers! Geoff

I don't know what audio equipment you have, so this is probably not relevant. However, my system also had sync issues and it sounded like an echo chamber. This was because the Furrion stereo and Vizio TV were connected together with both HDMI ARC and Optical Audio cables. Sometimes the TV speakers would come on through the Optical cable, at the same time the stereo speakers were on from the HDMI. The Optical and HDMI have known sync issues and there is no reason to have both in this configuration. The Optical should be disconnected because sometimes it takes a minute to realize what's going on. I just finished replacing that awful Furrion unit, and my only regret is not doing it a long time ago! I replaced it because of the poor controls and Bluetooth, and I had also planned to replace the speakers for better sound. But the new unit works and sounds great, so I'm keeping the speakers! Cheers! Geoff

You are on the right track. However as mentioned before, the blue wire is part of the Fault/Reset and it is grounded through the switch light as seen in the schematic. That is causing the voltage drop you were asking about. Don’t use the blue wire because it creates a resistive current path through the reset switch light. The yellow/green was the intended ground wire. It was probably grounded through the old WH chassis that’s now gone. You are right in thinking to re-ground it. However, I'd cap it off unused because apparently it's not be properly grounded on the switch side. Just connect the new WH black wire directly to ground. Only use the red wire from the switch. The on/off switch will work for the new WH, but the reset will be disconnected and not used. The AC side is completely separate as you know, although the AC ground might have been the original ground path for the yellow/green wire on the old units chassis. Having said that, isn’t the new unit controlled by a separate panel? Is a power switch required? I’d probably splice the red wire to bypass the switch, and blank off the switch to avoid any future confusion. Hope that helps!

I looked at the Suburban manual, it shows a wall switch with Fault/Reset light on the blue wire. That would cause voltage drop! Use the green/yellow wire for negative ground, and you should be good to go. Let us know if that’s what you have. Cheers, Geoff

That is different. I'm on jury duty lunch break, this will be quick. The WH switch I assume is a remote switch. It likely is a specialty switch with some resistors or such causing a voltage drop, some LEDs will do that. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with that suburban unit. You will probably need to replace the switch for the new WH. Check the old switch for internal resistance with an ohm meter. Good luck and let us know what you find

You are measuring volts with WH switch on, which means your measuring the voltage drop of the internal WH electronics. Disconnect the red, and volts should be 13.7. The yellow/green wire is a non-current carrying ground due to the AC aspect of the WH, so it does not see the electronics voltage drop. All seems normal. Cheers, Geoff

Your stated battery voltage of 13.2 is on the low side, which suggests that the battery charge is low. You also mentioned that the inverter cutout on low voltage at 12.1, try setting it to 12.0. Also look to see if there is a low voltage cutout delay setting. This accounts for larger current spikes and it should be around 15 seconds. If the battery was full, and voltage is still that low, then defiantly look for a high resistance connection, such as the 300 amp dc breaker. It's easier to check the breaker by taking a voltage reading across the input and output terminals, first with microwave on, then with it off. The microwave's current load should result in less than 0.5 volts difference. When hooked to shore power and charging the battery, or running a convection oven, the load is higher and voltage drop would be higher too. Good luck and let us know what you find. Geoff
