Plugging in at a new campsite
Check the pedestal before you connect your RV.
Do this every time you arrive at a new site. It takes a minute and checks the pedestal before your RV is connected.
- Turn the pedestal breaker off.
- Plug in the Watchdog by itself, without your RV attached.
- Turn the pedestal breaker on.
- Look at the Watchdog:
- Dog face is white: the power is good. Turn the breaker off, plug in your RV, then turn the breaker back on.
- Dog face is red: there’s a problem. Read the code and look it up in Error codes. Tell the park.
- Gen I (PWD30, PWD50): you want 3 green lights.
- Nothing lights up: see The Watchdog doesn’t light up at all.
New park? Reset the energy meter
Tap Energy Reset in the app so the kilowatt-hour count starts from zero.
Doing electrical repairs?
Unplug the RV first. The Watchdog may turn power back on by itself.
