Why did you connect to a 15A outlet? The R-Pod came with a 30A cord for a reason. If you are trying to run the AC , the water heater, the refrigerator, and everything else, the load definitely exceeds what a 15A outlet can provide. The AC alone can trip the 15A breaker as it does at my house. I need to get a 30A outlet installed for when the R-Pod is in my driveway.
It is also possible something is wired wrong. The amber exterior light runs on 12V, not 120V. Is it possible that the converter fuses are blown? Those are the two 40A fuses on the panel. They blow to protect the system if perchance the battery was connected backward.
