I just purchased a 2006 Raptor and have it plugged in to 110 outlet at my house but do not have any A/C power to the trailer? Is this normal. Thanks

1st off :wlcm: to the site.

Maybe a fuse is bad or tripped What kills the AC is low voltage.

vikedrvr, Howdy;

Couple of things to look at ...
Check the circuit breakers in the house to see if one is tripped.
If that checks out as good then start with the circuits in the RV,
check the GFCI circuits also.

Even with only a 15 amp outlet (with the proper adapter) you should have power. If your trailer is wired for 50amp you may only be powering half of you panel. Also you may have tripped the gfic on your home outlet.. You (or someone else if you are not comfortable doing it) will have to test to see where the power stops.

Thanks for the replies, tripped GFIC at the house. The tech at the rv dealership had mentioned something about the 50 amp service and only half being powered, that is why I thought something else was the problem.

If you are using the proper adapters, 15 amp to 30 amp, 30 amp to 50 amp, the 30-50 adapters usually power both 50 amp legs with the same single 30 amp hot leg, or in this case it is really only the 15 amp leg. Just enough to keep the batteries charged and provide lights and small loads.

This is correct ^
