    Need power! Help!!

    So we are new to the fifth wheel gig, we have always had class A/class C plus!
    Do you all keep RV plugged in during storage?
    We just got it out for the first time and we don’t have anything but 120 at our hous(we store at a facility with 50amp) husband did not leave plugged In while stored And I have no power.. I have a generator also but it won’t start!
    Any suggestions to getting enough power to get slides out? Also the generator any suggestions for that?
    Waving the 🏳️🏳️ as obviously I missed something in wall through and manuals... any help?
    I did plug into the house about an hour ago, but read that could be 8 hours before we have power.. 😩😩

    Plugged in to 110, if your converter is working you should have power to run your jacks, slides, etc. Nothing needs to be "charged" as long as you're connected to shore power.

    Is there power to anything? If the microwave or fireplace lights up, you have 110 into the trailer. If any interior lights works, then the 110 is getting converted to 12V DC (or your battery is working).

    If something's not working, then it's time to start checking breakers and fuses. Not all of which are in the breaker box.

    Here is the trouble-shooting section from the WFCO manual. WFCO is your converter that provides charging current. Also note, that the trouble-shooting guide fails to mention checking the reverse polarity fuses on the converter itself. They are located on your converter as shown in the diagram below.
