AC port has no power
Hi! Bought a 3rd hand van with a Yeti 3000X (no receipt or warranty). Worked a charm the last 6 months but suddenly the AC outlet has no power. I've tried all the resets to no avail.

8mm plug sticking and resulting hack

Multiple MP120 extension cables?
Hello, I just picked up a V3 vehicle integration kit for my 1500x. I keep the 1500x in my camp trailer and the 12 foot MP120 cable isn’t long enough to reach it from my vehicle battery :(.
