I'm having an intermittent problem with the Powerwatch meter. Twice now I've looked at the meter to find neither of the lights on and the meter pegged as far as it will go to the left. It's as though there is no power to the coach. However, everything seemed to be running fine. Lights all seem to work and 110 AC outlets all seem to work. Even the clock on the microwave has the correct time.
The first time was a couple of nights ago. A few hours later I looked at it and the meter was working again, green light was on.
Then an hour ago, I noticed the light was off, meter to the left. But I also noticed the fridge was on Gas. I checked the breaker at the foot of the bed and it was fine. An hour later, I just looked up and the green light is on. Meter is showing 116 Volts and the fridge is back to running on electric.
I did a search for Powerwatch but didn't get many relevant results. Only this which doesn't really have any resolution: Powerwatch (http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=18194.msg124056#msg124056)
Anyone have any thoughts?
I'm on 50 Amp, could I be loosing power from the campground on just one leg? I don't believe I have an EMS.
Thanks!
Has this happened in more than one CG-- actually when plugged in to different 50 amp outlets?
If not, suspect the park outlet.
If so, I would start checking connections (with shore power disconnected and generator off, inverter off)-- male end of shore power cord, female end of shore power cord, ATS, and remove cover from 120 VAC breaker box and verify that all connections are clean and tight.

This has only happened at this campground. For the first week everything was fine, now it's happened 3 times that I have noticed in 4 days. I don't hear any noises when it drops out or comes back on. The transfer switch doesn't make any noise or anything.
We check out of here tomorrow so I guess I'll wait to see if happens at any other places we stay.
Thanks Brett!
