I have a 2010 Hawk......I get power charging the battery in the camper when the truck is running, but not from my generator or shore power? I have an Iota I am fairly certain. I did notice that in past when I was plugged into generator or shorepower, little green lights indicated that the 120 plug ins were hot, or worked. I do not see these lights and my battery power stays on 2 lights if plugged into shore power overnight......I need to look inside and see if there is a fuse on back side of iota or not? Any other ideas would be great.
Hello, agate!
Given you used to see the little green lights (on the AC outlets, I presume) and no longer do, the problem could be a tripped circuit breaker. That may or may not be the case but it's a good place to start.
According to the 2010 owner's manual on the FWC website, it appears you have an Iota load center, most likely an IDP-30.
If that's the case, the circuit breakers for your 120-volt AC circuits are under the larger cover on the left side of the load center.

First, look at them. If any are in the Off position, turn them on. If the switch on any of them appears to be in between the off and on position, that indicates a tripped breaker. Note which it is, turn it fully Off, then fully to the On position. If the circuit breaker will not stay in the On position, it's either broken or reacting to a circuit-overload condition. If the breaker stays firmly in the On position, check for power at your AC outlets (with the camper plugged in to shorepower)
If you now have power to your AC outlets, check that the red/silver master 12-volt switch is pulled out to the outer position. The manual tells us that's needed to allow the DLS-30 to charge your batteries.
Also- on the back side of the cover you removed to access the circuit breakers, you should see a list of what your circuit breakers and fuses control. I've seen a photo of it (
here) but can't read the detail. Could you reply with what that says (or post a photo of it)?
