Old Mobile Homes

[Cheri P]

We recently bought a older mobile which appeared to be in good condition. However, 1 week after moving in we lost power to 1/4 of the mobile home and are having trouble finding the problem. Any suggestions besides tearing down the walls to to get to the wiring?

YOu left a lot unsaid. Tell us what is not running. Are you talking about 240 volt equipment like electric hot water, electric dryer, electric range, or are you talking about lights and receptacle in living room, bedrooms, or are you talking about receptacles in bathroom or kitchen counter areas?

Tell us a list of the things you know are not working and anything like the lights come on if I turn the electric range on kind of oddities.

This info may guide us where you should look.

Also tell us if you have a fuse box or breaker panel in your mobile home.

Also tell us id you have a fuse box or breaker box outside your mobile home maybe by the meter base of the power company.

This info also may center us down to what you are experiencing.
