    EMS worked great this morning - Low leg

    Woke up this morning to 32 degrees, turned heater, fireplace on. They worked for a bit then the Progressive EMS kicked, then reset itself. Kept doing this so shut the furnace off. I looked at the remote read out, YEP PE4 error - low voltage on Line 1. Could it be the cold weather is somehow zapping the park's power or would it be all the rigs running their furnaces and fireplaces???
    Any thoughts?

    Most RV parks skimped on wire gauge when wiring pedestals. Long runs of too small wire will cause a considerable voltage drop

    Copy LC, forgot to mention that we have been here many times and even in hot A/C using weather without a problem. I am surprised. Wonder if more RV's are installing fireplaces...could be the park has a new problem though...I will kindly mention it to them...

    There are probably a lot of units running electric heaters of one kind or another.

    Just for reference . . . the furnace does not use shore power, other than through the converter to recharge the battery. Even in a total AC outage, you can run the furnace . . . for a few hours until the 12V battery runs down. If you are really stuck, you can use the truck to keep the RV battery charged and the furnace running.
