Power fails on mine just like that once a month or so. So far, it's been a campground blackout, or bad campground wiring, or the trailer main breaker. Never anything else.
- check shore power (the pedestal). Does the fellow next door have power? Use a voltmeter (handy to have at times like this) or plug something else into it - lamp, vacuum, phone charger. If there is power there:
- check the plug (your trailer's) for corrosion.
- check the main breaker. In my Wilderness, it's on a panel at the rear of the trailer near the floor. The main breaker is on top of the row of breakers. If resetting this breaker - flip it all the way off, then back on - doesn't help,and shore power is intact, check for voltage at the main breaker (need a voltmeter).
