Battery lines crossed

i did it. Ugh.  I got a spark and now power is off. I’m off to OReilly to buy some fuses. I replaced the yellow fuse on the battery line and switched the fuses. If new fuses does not work, any suggestions. How would I know if there is converter damage.

thanks

Depending on age, the converter should have a protection diode in it that blows fuses before damage. Unplug from AC, check battery voltage, plug in and battery voltage should go up slightly.  Did you blow the fuse at the converter also?

New scamp owner

new to scamp. Does the back of the trailer need to be supported when you are sleeping? It might seem like a funny question but like I said new camper as of today. Thanks

Stabilizer jacks

The Scamp has two stabilizer jacks attached to the rear bumper. They do help but not needed for most people. I have heard of the hitch heading up while the bumper hits the ground, as two heavy people got into bed. I hope it’s just urban legend.
