Interesting. We had a realtor friend suggest we buy an RV of some sort (this
was before he knew I have been renting for 8 years) and live in it until the
market crashes, then buy a home where you want to retire.

Since it has been sitting for so long, the blower motor could also be seized.
Could the compressor be locked up as well?
For our move across country, we’re buying my nephew’s motorhome, a 2004 Itasca
Suncruiser 37B. It will also be our home while our old house sells and until
the new NC house
No he bought it used, and I see every manual in there but that one for the
actual trailer

IIRC, in the original post you said your dad bought the trailer new and
never used it? They came with an "owners manual" so if that is tucked in a
drawer somewhere, it should give you all the skinny on power requirements.
I have a 5th wheel, same setup, roof air, and it takes 220v but pulls 110
RV's are, universally, either 120V 30A, or 220V 50A. The 30A is so that
you can run the AC _and_ everything else on one circuit. It is possible
that your adapter (and/or something else) has enough resistance in it
that an attempt to draw more than 20A drops the voltage enough to trip the
AC off,
I sure figured these ran on 220 and the shore power cord if rather large, but
I’m pretty sure the label next to the power cord says something like 125v 30
amp.

Almost forgot, LUBE THE SLIDE.. a lot... slides like to stick and hang at
the worst possible time, like when you are moments from pulling out of
camp. I use dry film silicone because it doesn't absorb dirt as easily as
some others. While you are at it, lube the jacks, they will work with much
less
When you replace the roof vents, use the metal ones. They are easily
available, and don't break into dust at the first hail stone. Same sizes
made in both metal and plastic, within pennies of the same cost.
Most 5th wheel roof air runs on 220 / 30 amp for the compressor, but the
blower fan is 110,
Yea, there is just no telling. I need to do some research and see if I
can find any sort of good info on diagnosing these things.

So the overall current reqirement should be enough to run the AC plus whatever
other appliances might be in use in the camper. Fridge, TV, microwave, etc. I
would think 20 amps would be
I found the breaker panel, nothing tripped or any fuses blow but can’t really
tell if that strange fuse for the slide is blown. Will check closer.
So if the AC unit was working and it it was pulling too many amps it should
simply trip the breaker in the shop? I seem to recall when I had a
I think the 30 amp requirement is just to handle the various lights and
appliances that campers might be using.
There should be a panel somewhere with a couple of breakers. Probably worth
trying to find a Jayco forum online somewhere, with people who know about these.

On Sun, Aug 8,
Today's project was to pickup my fathers 2006 Jayco 5th wheel and haul
it home. He bought it in 2014 and hauled it home, and never used it so
it has sat. When we plugged it in the slide would not retract at all,
does not even act like its trying to do anything so I cranked it in
manually.
