Here's the story of my day / evening.
Fairly new motorhome owner, our motorhome is on our drive during lockdown.
My 4yo daughter wanted to do a sleepover in the motorhome on the driveway tonight, nice change of scenery.
I popped out this morning to turn the heating on, Truma combi system using GasLow tanks. The boiler wouldn't fire up, E 122 H (will spin up a thread on this later!). Tried a few resets through the day, no joy. This evening, as part of troubleshooting, I went to do a "hard reset" - disconnected the leisure battery feed to the EBL and reconnected.
The problem is when I re-connected it, nothing worked. I fiddled with some switches, checked engine side was ok and grabbed the multimeter.
Feed from battery was fine.
Voltage at main fuse was fine.
Voltage at power input at back of EBL was fine.
All EBL fuses are fine.
But nothing worked, it was cold and dark and trying to use the multimeter and hold a torch was challenging enough, then it started raining.
I went inside to research the issue, read EBL the instruction manual, found a place to get the EBL repaired if it came to that, searched the forums. I assumed because I didn't have everything powered down when it was disconnected, there was some kind of power surge blowing an internal fuse.
Came to terms with the fact that I will now need to get the EBL fixed before i can get the original Truma issue looked at.
Told my daughter we couldn't do the sleepover tonight, got the kids to bed.
Sat down on the sofa, and it came to me...
"I wonder if the main control panel isn't just a display of the tanks and batteries, I wonder if it's a power switch"
Went outside, pressed it, everything came on (except the heating)
What a bloody idiot!
Now to figure out the Truma issue.... the sleepover will happen tomorrow night, helped along with a fan heater.
