Badger Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 My outlets aren’t working under battery power or shire power? The GFI has no indication light. I checked the fuses, breakers, even took the cover off the inverter and confirmed the red LED light inside is on?? What next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MobileJoy Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Please post your trailer information, year and model. Also add your electrical systems info (inverter model, batteries, etc.). When on shore power, does your refrigerator work when AC power is selected? The fridge circuit is direct to a breaker (no GFCI), so if it does maybe your GFCI has failed. 5 2021 Elite II Twin #850 "Mojo", 2020 F250 Lariat 7.3L FX4 3.55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MobileJoy Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Sorry, I just noticed that you don't own an Oliver. Thus my previous advice may not be applicable as I have no idea of how your trailer is wired. 2021 Elite II Twin #850 "Mojo", 2020 F250 Lariat 7.3L FX4 3.55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Mike and Carol Posted September 30, 2023 Moderators Share Posted September 30, 2023 Does your microwave or refrigerator work on 110? Did you check to see if there are any lose connections?

Moderators SeaDawg Posted October 1, 2023 Moderators Share Posted October 1, 2023 Congratulations on your new to you Ollie. We'll work out how to reset your profile later. Hull number 590 probably means 2019, or so. ELITE 1 or 2? What batteries? Does the gfci reset, or no? Have you tried? Are you on shore power? Have you checked the shore power connection? Does anything work on 110? Fridge, ac, etc. Give us a bit more info, and folks will be happy to help. If you have the transfer switch (extra power connection), try unplugging from the pedestal, and wait a minute. Plug in again. Our transfer switch doesn't always kick in, right away. When it does, we hear a click inside, and when we had a microwave, the microwave beeped. Sorry for your troubles. A little more info will help us help you. 1 2008 Ram 1500 4 × 4 2008 Oliver Elite, Hull #12 Florida and Western North Carolina, or wherever the truck goes.... 400 watts solar. DC compressor fridge.

If you're on shore power, have the 2 power connectors outside (left side body and right side by the propane tanks), and the transfer switch doesn't click/microwave doesn't beep when you plug in, can your cord reach the other power connector? 1 1 Stephanie and Dudley from CT. 2022 LE2, Hull #1150: Eggcelsior.

So I have the legacy II, 2020. I put 4 new interstates in it. Now that I am back in my barn and plugged in to shore power. everything is working! A/C, batteries got restored, outlets working gfi ,yes! So I think my portable Generator 30 amp plug was not working? battery drained after 2 days . here is my questions. Do the outlets in the RV work on battery power only? I thought so, and That may have been my first misdirection... Do I have an Invertor? What is the Black box mounted on the inside compartment under the table? Looks like an invertor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Staff PAndrews Posted October 3, 2023 Oliver Staff Share Posted October 3, 2023 Hi Badger, When using a generator with the Oliver, it is important to have a bonding plug otherwise known as a neutral ground plug on the generator. The Oliver comes standard with a built in surge protector and if you do not have this plug, the surge protector will not allow the 120v power to work as it is not grounded. Here is an example of a ground plug that you can buy on Amazon for $19. https://www.amazon.com/Southwire-Company-LLC-44400-Generator/dp/B07F4R7BDL/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=generator+bonding+plug&qid=1696360581&sr=8-5 - Phil Andrews, Oliver Travel Trailers 1 2 Phillip Andrews Oliver Travel Trailers Sales and Delivery Specialist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph and Dud B Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Yes, you need a bonding plug to get power from most generators into your trailer. That should solve your initial problem. I don't know if Hull 590 has an inverter. Most Olivers do. Do you have a black control panel labeled Xantrex in your trailer? Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Schneider-Electric-Solar-Inv-808-0817-01/dp/B0756BJQCN/ref=asc_df_B0756BJQCN/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312094677816&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10946446638069115879&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9003252&hvtargid=pla-519123927354&psc=1 If so, you have an inverter. Instructions on its use are in Oliver University, linked from the main Oliver website. Basically, if you have no shore power, pushing the round silver button in activates the inverter and creates 120v power for your outlets, microwave, etc. from your batteries. The green LED next to the battery icon will indicate it's working. Note that this can consume a lot of battery power, especially running the microwave, so use it sparingly. The inverter does consume some power whenever it's on, even if there's nothing plugged into the outlets, so turn it off when not needed. 1 3 Stephanie and Dudley from CT. 2022 LE2, Hull #1150: Eggcelsior.

Moderators SeaDawg Posted October 4, 2023 Moderators Share Posted October 4, 2023 @Doug S, all good questions. And, understandable quandries. When you wrote the original post asking for help, were you on generator without the ground plug? If you were on campground shore power, let us know. Different scenario. The more info you can provide, the more the collective minds can help. So glad everything is working now, at home . When did you install the new batteries? And, welcome aboard. Glad to have you here. 1 2008 Ram 1500 4 × 4 2008 Oliver Elite, Hull #12 Florida and Western North Carolina, or wherever the truck goes.... 400 watts solar. DC compressor fridge.

Richard, I know this is a little late in the game but I believe Badger's solution was to purchase the bonding plug that Phil mentioned. 1 Steve, Tali and our dog Rocky plus our beloved Storm, Maggie, Lucy and Reacher (all waiting at the Rainbow Bridge) 2008 Legacy Elite I - Outlaw Oliver, Hull #026 | 2014 Legacy Elite II - Outlaw Oliver, Hull #050 | 2022 Silverado High Country 3500HD SRW Diesel 4x4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
