I personally am worried about a dry spring and major firebans....... not enough snow this year.

i think the same, snow here was way down from previous years, 12-18" maybe, but definitely crusty. it will be a dry spring, unless there is a lot of rain.

may as well plan on spring fire bans, need to buy aspce heater and video of a camp fire for TV. lol.

Check the gfci plug ins in the bathroom etc.
Should be one or two on the outside as well.

Did you just install your batteries?

Check the 20 or 30 amp breaker off main power. Mine quit howling power in it at times. Had to replace it

On the front of mine is a "power strip" full of what I thought were self resetting circuit breakers. Turns out one of them is a manual reset has a little reset underneath it that you can hardly see.

Go with Tyler’s suggestion as well. If it froze and shorted internally it will trip that manual reset.
Mine trips every time I go down a gravel road and it flips a rock into the light on the front of the frame and turns the light on..... I'll be completely disconnecting said light this spring.

If you manually turn the light on does it trip it ?

Yup. I removed the bulb because it kept getting turned on that way and I wouldn't notice it when parking it so it would but a strain on the battery

It's such a stupid setup Larry. It gets rusted and corroded from towing..... Need to build a protector of some sort in front of it.

i believe it, most of the time i wonder who designed these things, my electrical is somewhat straight forward, but to turn the water off to the water heater spring and summer, i have to become a contortionist. not fun at all? don't even get me started on vehicles! lol, yes corrosion is hidden away until something doesn't work, not good.

my hot water tank is under the bunk, have to remove the mattress, remove a chunk of plywood then its right there, but there is a **** tonne of wasted space and dead air right there. It's disappointing really, among other things with these modern trailers.

the panel to access my water pump, I need to fix the screw holes because they've pulled through.
