Electrical problems on Yellowstone 34FBR

[djbcs]

I am experiencing some electrical problems with my 2005 Yellowstone 34fbr. It seems that only one half of the 5th wheel has power to it although all the fuses indicate that none of the circuits are blown. It is happening on the side with the entertainement center and plugs immediately around that area. Has anyone experienced that before.
I am running extension cords so I can at least watch the tube. Also, there are a number of electrical plates that have a red dot on them. Does anyone know what the significance of these red dots are?
Thanks for your help...don

Hi Don, You indicated that the fuses are good and maybe you meant circuit breakers but if not the 120 volt would be a breaker problem not a fuse.
If the entertainment center is located in a slide out it may be a wiring problem in the way that the power was fed to the slide out.
I had a similer problem with my 2004 Canyon Trail.

Yes, I should have said breaker and not fuses...shows my age.
It appears to be only in the slideout. You said you had the same problem. What did you have to do to fix it?

In my unit the wiring is fed though the tube that slides out from underneath the camper, the wiring got caught in the roller that is inside the tube. I had to splice in a new wires underneath the camper after removing the damaged section. I used #14 sjo cord it is much more flexible then romex. You have to take a look under your slideout to see how the wires are fed, they may have changed it with different models.

Again, thanks Tim,
Everything you have said points to a previous posting of mine on a drooping slide.
I fixed the slide issue but now this is surfacing. Once the weather warms a bit I will be able to get under the slide and see if that is the problem.
We just sold our home and are full timing until we decide we like the brick and mortar better.
