Hi everyone. I have a 1978 Triple E 1900 comfort series. Absolutely everything on this unit worked last summer. I just took it out of storage and all the electriCal seemed to work at first running off of battery power. Now it seems like only half it works. For example there is two stage lighting by sliding the button two notches. Only one stage will light up. Bathroom light won't work. The refrigerator seems to have stopped working on electric as well. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Also the same issues are happening when it is plugged into a power source. All fuses look good and breakers are good.

 to VTT. Does your Triple E have a single odual axel set-up? They seem to be pretty solid looking campers. Nice roomy layout(s) You have come to the right place to discuss problem remediation for items in your camper that need a jump start in the spring. Once you post a few photos, including a photo and name/description of the different appliances and accessories that are on the blink, then Members with specific knowledge can start brainstorming things to check and do to get that EX3 "running on all cylinders" again. A number of us like the small Compact models of campers, and since I believe some Members do not know what the Triple E campers look like, I am including a thread showing their Compact Model. The larger ones still retain a lot of the characteristics of this little cutie. If this is a current ad, I don't think the price is too out of line for what I'm seeing. www.lensrv.ca/0589.htmHere is a 1977 Triple E 1900 comfort series dual axel... www.kijiji.ca/v-travel-trailer-camper/winnipeg/17ft-1977-triple-e-tandem-camper-trailer/1162387292?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

The kijiji add for the 1977 is the same as what I have. I'll gof in a bit and grab some pictures of the fridge and other items I'm having problems with.

"...electrical seemed to work at first running off of battery power."
Are you sure?
The same points work or don't work with both shore power and battery? No variation?
Can you provide a photo of your electrical system?

Check your battery. A totally dead battery will cause all sorts of problems. I'm thinking the two systems both exist in the lighting but I could be wrong.
None of the 110 system should be dependent on the battery. So, things that don't work may be 12 volt related. The systems are separate but do interact.
