shore power

[Markus Meyer]

So lets break this down logically. If you have 120 power off shore and that is working fine, you are good there. Generator is just an alternate source for 120/shore power, so disconnecting that shouldn't be of any concern right now. Your 12 volt system is separate, and if you say the batteries go dead you have an issue there somewhere. The only connection between 120 and 12 volt should be battery chargers of some sort that take 120 power to keep your batteries charged. I'd start there to see what you have going on, is the charger turned on, is it working, etc.

Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] shore power

Im a neebie with a fc33 problem.
I turned the switch to shore power, plugged in the power cord, turned on the breakers. All the 110 accessories work but it appears there is no converted power (12 volt) to any of the 12 volt accessories, interior lights etc.
The voltmeter on the wall only reads 20? volts and the batteries go dead.
The generator was removed before I got the coach so I dont know what was disconnected in the removal, but where should I go looking for the problem?
I am a certified mechanic from the 80's but I seem to be lost on where to begin looking and the bluebird manual is sorely lacking on any information for repairs.
Does anybody sell a repair manual or information for repairs on the Wanderlodges?
