  1. Thanks everyone for your input. It appears my own ignorance is cause for this thread. I had thought -- per the operation of my previous RV -- that coach power to the AC outlets was the norm and thus, that my current Toyota RV was operating incorrectly. In fact, the Toyota electrical system is operating as intended, being that it has only a converter installed, not an inverter. Thanks again to all for your help. And on a good note -- I have become just a bit more learned about the electrical system and its various components.
  2. Whelp, replacing all the fuses and cleaning the relay contacts didn't do it. Nor did disconnecting the coach battery, cleaning the terminals with baking soda, adding petroleum jelly, and tightening all the connections. I may have to loop-in someone local with more expertise than myself...
  3. A quick update: replacing the two fuses (both 15A) did not by itself address the problem. And a bit more info: the coach interior lights have power (even when the AC breaker is switched "off") but the two AC outlets in the coach only have juice when on shore power. Today I'll act on WME's suggestion to watch the relay -- perhaps the contacts need to be cleaned. I'll first disconnect the battery before such a task is attempted. And I'll swap in new fuses across the board in case, as jjrbus noted, they're bad even though they look good.
  4. Thanks for weighing-in linda, WME, and payaso. The coach battery does measure a 12.4v charge with a meter. When the pigtail is connected to shore power there is an audible "click/chunk." Indeed -- as was suggested, the issue may be fuse-related. When pulling them I noticed that one, and maybe two, are shorted-out (novice mistake for not checking them initially!). I'll get new fuses swapped in and will update here. It'd be nice were the solution such a simple fix. If that's not it I'll continue as suggested -- disconnect the battery and clean the relay contacts with an emery cloth, etc.
  5. Hello! I recently purchased a 21' 1986 Toyota Crossman, which my partner and I dubbed "Little Buddy." Little Buddy has treated us well thus far but unlike the other RV I have owned (a Four Winds Hurricane) the coach power does not work unless plugged into shore power via the pigtail. A post made to this forum by Jake_Womack earlier this year described a similar issue, which other forum readers suggested was caused by a malfunctioning relay or switch. Could that be the culprit in my case as well? Do I need a new switching supply? The Power Inverter in Little Buddy is: Series: 6300 A Model: 6336 My knowledge with electrical systems is slight, so your input is most welcomed. Thanks in advance! And in case it impacts the responses to the above issue, we also plan to: - add a generator (Honda - it'll fit well in the vented external storage area behind the drivers seat) - swap out the current coach battery with an AGM (Optima) - add an inverter
