Help please. My 110 is not working. I have 12 volt. No sound is coming from the inverter either. I do have 110 to the Airstream but none inside.

Check the circuit breakers.

Shut them all off, then flip them back on.

Of course make sure that the trailer city power cable is plugged into a hot outlet.

Unless someone has modified the electrical system, your Airstream has a "converter" which changes the city power to 12 volts DC.

Airstream has never made a trailer equipped with an inverter, which takes 12 volts DC and changes it to 120 volts AC.

Hi Andy,
There is a Freedom 7 inverter/ battery charger in my trailer. I have checked all of the power sources. I have looked at the fuses and reset the button on the inverter. Are there additional circuit breakers? I looked in the manual and did not see any location of any?
thank you

LIke Andy mentioned...check your AC circuit breakers...they are on a separate panel from your DC fuses.

In our AS, the DC panel is in the front, and the AC panel is in the rear, in the bath, as we have a rear bath setup...find that AC panel and you will be able to tell if a breaker has 'tripped' off, etc.
