I have a 2004 Keystone Cougar 27 8 5th wheel. I also have a 2500w Champion inverter genset. If the 5th wheel is plugged into shore power, everything works fine. The coffee pot and the microwave overload the genset. Not together, using them separately. The coffee pot plugged into a GCFI outlet on the kitchen counter overloads the genset. The microwave has an outlet in a cabinet next to it. It overloads the genset. If I run an extension cord to a wall outlet, the coffee pot works fine. The same with the micro wave. The converter looks original. It is a Parralax model 7355 55 amp. There are 4 circuit breakers not including the main breaker. There are 5 labels under the breakers? The breakers do not correspond to the labels. It is screwy.
As This 5th wheel is 21 years old, I have owned it for 7, no telling if someone has rewired the breakers in the past.
This is the first trip I have used a genset.
So do I have a wiring/outlet problem or has the converter gone bad or are there bad circuit breakers? Thanks
