Electrical problem

[Fullernh]

I have a brand new Forest River Rockwood I purchased last fall and I'm dewinterizing.  Hooked up the fully charged battery, and I only get power to the outside door light and power to the winch, but nothing inside such as the interior lights and fan.  I checked all fuses including the one at the positive terminal by the battery.  Totally puzzled....all the fuses looked good.  Also checked wiring underneath and inside.  Anyone have any suggestions before I go crazy??

Hello,
 I'm not too familiar with the Forest River PUPs, but I had a similar problem with my Coleman years ago. See if there is a switch on the sink cabinet( it shuts off power to the inside 12V when the sink is not up), mine went bad and had to be replaced. You could also check the wiring harness that goes up to the roof (usually in one of the corners), I had a bad connector that needed replacing. I found these problems after hours of testing every wire and connector I could find. Hopefully one of these suggestions will help. Good Luck!

Thanks!  I haven't lifted the sink yet so I'll give it a try.

Doesn't it have an owner's manual with a troubleshooting section? My Starcraft does.

If you haven't lifted the sink, I'll bet teh safety switch is your issue.  Almost all pop ups have a safety switch (mine is on a bunk end) that keeps you from leaving the lights on when you pop down, which can cause the light to overheat - then cause a fire.


Good luck
