JC, from your description it sounds like a GFCI is tripping.  GFCI's are used to power outlets in bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and outside.  This is where water can be near electricity. 

In your first post you mentioned replacing the circuit breaker and then the circuit had power for several seconds after the coffee pot started to work.  I assume this means you had the pot plugged into a kitchen outlet, likely on a GFCI outlet.  It's not unusual that a GFCI circuit will work for a short period of time when a device like your coffee plot is plugged in and starts to work. 

Sometimes the CFCI is in the circuit breaker, it's quite visible and you'd know it when looking at the breaker.  When the circuit has no power turn the breaker off then back on.  Sometimes a breaker will open but it looks like it's still closed.   You can feel it click when you solidly turn it back on.

I'd  also unplug the coffee pot and anything else plugged into any outlets in the bad circuit and reset the breaker and check it for power.  Appliances can cause GFCI's to open and lose power.  I have seen a light fixture wired into a GFCI circuit cause the GFCI to open.  It can be difficult to discover what is on an electrical circuit, manufacturers don't have diagrams and wire RV's for ease of manufacturing.  When I what to know what's on a circuit I turn the breaker off and then check all outlets (inside, outside and basement) and light fixtures.     Greg

edit....I'd be surprised if an outlet itself was bad. 

I wonder how our new friend has made out after seeking info in his first post to correct his electrical problem?    It's been 6 days since he checked the forum and 8 since his post.  This has happened more than once and makes me question if I should respond to future first timers.      Greg

Be aware that there could be light fixtures on the same circuit or if it's a GFCI circuit basement or outside outlets.      Greg

I have had this problem twice, the fan comes on and the compressor starts but stops in 3 or 4 seconds.  I replaced the start capacitor and PTCR to fix the problem.  You can purchase a kit from RV dealers or online for about $30.       Greg

If you want to know more about HitchHikers they have a users forum that is not supported by the manufacturer.   nuwaowners.org       Greg

It doesn't matter what kind of RV you are in.  Hurricanes can cause havoc over a very wide area.  We have had campground reservations canceled when emergency workers (insurance reps, utility workers, etc) responded to hurricane damage and took over all the campgrounds.  Locals also can flock campgrounds when they return and their property is damaged.  Until I knew what Dorian does I'd avoid the east coast.  We have been chased out of FL and NC three times by hurricanes, not fun.      Greg

We enjoyed our stay at Goulding in the middle of Monument Valley, wish we could have stayed longer.      Greg

Not sure what you like or want but Aune Osborn Campground is on the St Mary's River and you can watch lake freighters pass by quite close.  The Soo Locks are a mile away.  Make reservations!!!     Greg

We ordered our HitchHiker in 2007 without much of the furniture, the only good piece was the table.  We bought all our furniture from various stores to suit our needs.  OEM RV furniture isn't quality in my mind.      Greg 

In 2010 we had 8K IS installed by MORryde.  The first rubber was too stiff and the fifth wheel rode hard.  A couple months later they installed a softer rubber and we travelled a year on them and the ride again became too hard.  Fortunately we visit lower MI each summer and stopped at MORryde and the soft rubbers had collapsed.  They again replaced the rubber and for the next 7 years until we sold the HitchHiker we had no further troubles, not even alignment.  

Yes it is possible your current rubber were too soft and collapsed, I'd call MORryde.     Greg 

MORryde always weighs the RV prior to IS installation, if they did the install they'd tell you the weight and they also measured our height.  The weight is used to determine which  IS and rubber to install.       Greg

Go into the store and give them your card (for security have your spouse go inside with the card) and ask to have the pump turned on then pump all you want.  Sometimes they trust you if you just ask them to turn the pump on.   Occasionally the pump will allow you to use the card twice or use another credit card if you have two.      Greg

Read the manufacturers warranty documentation, does it state not for full time use?  If not tell the dealer that so they will hopefully speed up your service.  I'd tell them your most time like many snowbirds if it said full time wasn't covered, the unit is only 2 years old so it darn better be covered for that short period of time.  Ours was a full time 5W and the manufacturers service was fast so we very seldom had the get a motel room for 1 or 2 nights. 

If your 5W has been in for service since March it's been 2 months, that's awful service.   

If you are going to traveling quite a bit you might want to replace the stock suspension system with one like MorRyde's Independent Suspension and upgrade your tires to 17.5" H rated tires.  We discovered the stock suspension systems were a serious weak point.

You can also upgrade your RV insurance to full time coverage.     Greg    

I have had GS Road Service once tow the truck and fifth wheel to the Ford dealer then tow the trailer to a CG.  A couple years ago I had the truck stuck in wet leaves on an incline at our daughters and GS responded and towed us out of the leaves with no problems.  Anyways, GS responded to only a stuck truck.     Greg

We had RV Armor coat our roof in September 2015 while in Bradenton, FL at a campground.  We had a leak on the back wall due to exposed screw heads at the rubber roof and rear cap joint.  Cost was $4500 including doing 4 slide roofs.  Last I heard they no longer do slide roofs.  They removed the vent covers and AC covers and dish.  It took 4 days due to some rain and heavy dew delays.  We did have 2 warranty cosmetic calls as the last of 3 coatings "cracked" in 3 or 4 places.  There was no leaks as the original roof and first coats were OK.  They responded to us while in Michigan and then Alabama.   Their warranty response was excellent and repaired the problems.  They also supply a lifetime warranty.  They coated the drip edge all the way around the roof and the roof remained white until we sold the HitchHiker this month.  We were pleased with the roof.       Greg

Be careful, the key to avoiding  problems with your black tank is the use of plentiful water.    Greg 

RV fan, we had Catlin Truck Accessories in Jacksonville, FL install a 70 gallon auxiliary fuel tank/toolbox combo in 2007 when we started full timing.  Being new I didn't want to maneuver in gas stations when towing, the F350 dually could take the extra weight along with the fifth wheel pin weight and hitch.  We like secondary roads without worrying about finding a station we'd fit into when we needed diesel.  The diesel is transferred into the Ford tank with a 12v pump I can turn on as we travel.  It also has another fuel filter which I like.  When we replaced the 2007 F350 with a 2014 I had the tank and plumbing moved to the new truck.  My only negative is it's an inch or two above the bed rails so a cover wouldn't work for us, but then a cover would require opening to fuel the extra tank and when connected for towing.  Overall, I really like it.      Greg    

Kik, no, I just paid this years insurance in July so the $101 more for the truck is due to the change from Madison to Sioux Falls. I will cancel the SD policies this fall as we are purchasing a home in AL.       Greg

Nationwide via Dougherty Agency in Sioux Falls.     Greg

FYI....our truck insurance increased $101 after updating our address to Sioux Falls.     Greg

If they never told us they were shutting down (I received no communication from them) what makes anyone think we'll ever know why they closed so abruptly.   I suppose we can monitor the Madison newspaper?  But it makes no difference to me, fortunately I have disputed my credit card payment for next years service which I paid 2 weeks ago.  I do feel for others who have serious problems with important documents.       Greg

I was invoiced 7/17 for next years service by My Dakota Address and paid the same day via credit card.  I did have mail sent the same day and received it OK.   I have received no notification of their closing and found out here on the forum.  I contacted my credit card company to decline payment.  I also called My Dakota Address today and got the same message, their message box is full.  I am tying to use Your Best Address but am waiting on a call back because they too are swamped.       Greg

Thanks dirtyboots posting your copy of the My Dakota Address email.  I have received nothing from them.  I am quite upset that my mail has been returned to senders as of 7/25 and some of their customers, me, have zero notification of this or their closing.      Greg 

We have been there several times (in the spring) when it wasn't full (or 95 degrees) and had no power problems according to our Progressive EMS.  Sounds like we don't want to be there in the summer when it's full and hot.  We did have to leave once due to rising water.       Greg

Glenn, I'm not sure if you are referring to the Dometic 320 but our foot pedal works the same as the old Thetford we had; half way down opens the water valve and all the way down flushes the toilet.      Greg
