I have a 2004 HR 40 PDQ. Here is my problem. I have 50amp coming into the coach. Both legs are hot. The A/C's and the water heater work. The inverter works. The charger is not charging. It is a Magnum 2012. No 120 volt plugs are working anywhere. Batteries are WAY low. Sometimes get the fault reading. If I run the engine the house batteries charge. If I run the generator no charge. On 50 amp no charge.
My question is: Does the load split when entering the coach ie 1/2 goes up to the big appliances(A/C etc) and the other half to run all the other plugs? Refrig says it can not find 120v. Is there another circuit breaker hidden somewhere that each leg is on? The two main breakers are not tripped. Could it be inside the transfer box?

Check your individual breakers and all GFI receptacles.

Your inverter is NOT working. For some unknown reason, Monaco/HR has all the outlets in the front section of the coach pass thru the inverter even though you are on shore power. First, check the three pop out fuses on the inverter. One is for incoming and two are for outgoing power to the outlets. Push them back in if popped out. If ok, manually try to start the inverter. There is a small button on the back below the little green LED. Hold it down until the green light flickers. See if inverter is on? If not on, you may want to unplug and replug the telephone type cable going into the back of the inverter. If you get a reading of "internal Fault" your inverter is definitely bad. A re-built one from Magnum will run about $1,400. I'm on my third 2012. good luck.

JFG is right. Had this happen once. It took me about 30 minutes to find the circuit breaker on the inverter. Reset that and all has been fine. Now I have a surge protector installed to try to prevent the problem (and others).

Tried it all. Spoke with Monaco rep and all indication was inverter/charger. Got hold of Dwayne at Magnum and he walked me thru it. Appears to be the AC board inside the converter. They are sending me a new one. Not cheap but much less than a new box. Dwayne was very helpful.
Thanks for your feedback...
