Tex250,

First of all your description of your problem is very confusing and difficult to follow. Not trying to be an a__ hole here but I'm really struggling to understand your problem.

Also, some suggestions have referred to your inverter. I doubt you have an inverter but rather I believe you have a converter. So take note of that fact. These two components perform completely different functions. 30amp systems don't usually have inverters.

As suggested a few times already, turn off all the breakers and then turn them on one at a time. Turn one and see if you have power to what it controls. Then turn that one off and turn on another breaker. After you have performed this check come back and tell what you have found.

First off thanks for all the suggestions this trip will be ok and I'll work on trailer when I get home.
I only have 6 total breakers for this trailer:
1-main 30a
2-GFI 15a
3-microwave 20a
4-gen 15a
5-Waterheater 15a
6-AC 20a
This is how panel is labeled. All my 110 outlets run off of my GFI labeled breaker.
All my GFI labeled outlets work. None of my NON-gfi outlets work
Sorry for any confusion. It's just weird that gfi outlets work and the non-gfi don't, they are all on the same breaker.

Check all GFI's. If one is bad, which is not unusual, then everything downstream of that outlet will be non functional as well.

I doubt we are going to be able to help this gentleman. Too many variables plus the person troubleshooting needs to have a good understanding of electrical circuits in a RV. Hopefully he can call out a mobile technician to get him going. Good luck.

Had the 110v go out on my RV on a camping trip. Checked the power post and it was OK, tried running on the generator and still had no power. Took me a while to track it down but it turned out to be a loose neutral in the breaker box. Seems when it was installed someone cross threaded the screw holding the wire into the neutral bar and over time it had built up enough patina on the wire that it no longer made contact.

i had this same exact problem last week have the campground come out and test the power pole one leg of the 50a service is not working

Did you try resetting the circuit breakers?

Ahhh...my thought too, have you tested and reset the GFI's you have found? Sometimes the GFI will function but not pass through..

This is what I would check as well.
