2004 camper thermostat suddenly quit working, felt like the heat wasn’t blowing near as hot the night before.. also my outlets are now shutting down but will kick back on after a few min. All fuses are good no breakers were tripped.

I’ve got a spare thermostat so I might swap it and just see. But still don’t explain the outlets

still could have a bad connection in the panel . the neutral could be loose or the buse bar could be burnt behind breaker.. check all connections before you rule them out.

What kind of camper is helpful . But I will take a stab in the dark and say that you might want to get a new power converter, it is located somewhere around the fuse box and should have a fan that cools it. I would replace the converter

I would guess it’s either a bad converter or problem with the power source. We had a trailer for many years. When we first bought it, the first several camping trips we took, we had a problem with the power. Lights would blink on and off rapidly, heat didn’t blow warm, etc…. I was about to change out the converter but powered it up at home and didn’t have a problem. Turned out to be a problem with the power source feeding Oak Mt State Park. I was just really thrown off because we had been in three separate spots down there. Never had a problem anywhere else. Never had a problem at Oak Mt after that first year.

Do you have an EPO on something to monitor the incoming power to see if you have a power supply issue? Or a generator to run it off?


Also Thermostat runs off the battery so make sure you check batteries for voltage/change

Check make sure you have propane

Battery is good, power from pole is good, thermostat does not seem to be getting any power. The outlets oddly enough acted fine last night

Try changing the battery. I know you said it’s fine and that you are wired in directly but give it a try. I’ve seen that be a problem too.

Battery reading 12.9 volts. The water heater works, all dc powered things work except thermostat. As far as the outlet I’m still not sure what’s going on with it. It’s on a 15amp breaker and it never tripped but I know that doesn’t mean it’s not bad. What’s weird is I could plug a phone charger into that outlet right after the fan died and it worked fine. And the fan isn’t going bad because it ran fine in neighbors place.

This was my guess too.
Parents smoked their converter a couple months ago and nothing would work. (actually I did it. I was told to wire up a 30A supply. I wasn't aware what was being plugged into it so I wired up a 240V 30A supply ... OOOPS!)
All the oil leaked from the capacitors. Once it cooled down everything worked agin until it got hot and quit again.
I put a new converter in it and all is well

Ouch 240.. and if the converter was bad wouldn’t the battery drain down and lights and water heater not work.. that’s what makes me say converter is still doing its job.

Have you checked all the gfci plugs? One might be In the bathroom kitchen or possibly outside if you have one. Also Sounds like the thermostat might be bad.

I’m hoping it’s just the thermostat for that issue. And only one gfi and it’s fine I reset it also but didn’t fix my issue.

Might be a obvious answer here but do I need to disconnect my battery when I replace the thermostat
