'92 Breakway:
Forward TV and VCR gets elec. power when landside 110v electrical power is connected to MH. Rearward/bedroom TV is powered by the domestic batteries. Wandering why forward TV/VCR are not also powered from the domestic batteries. I understand there may be a cut off for when engine is running. But I get no domestic power even when the engine is off. Any thoughts? Thanks.

It sounds as if the rear electronics are connected to an inverter, if they're actually running off the batteries. I have an inverter in the front console that I use for the TV/Sat - I just run an extension cord to them.

I removed the cutover relay so I have 120VAC when the ignition is on - I did that so I could move the coach a bit to get satellite coverage and see the TV screen.

The cutover relay is near the 120VAC breaker panel.
