try replacing GFI... as its a chain.... it trips and all is dead...
I'll add that almost RV wiring uses the backstab/jam hole instead of wrapping around the screw. That alone can cause issues. I went through our entire RV and fixed that after I had one GFI acting up, doing that solved the problem.
Yes I’m not a fan of these types of plugs. All the vibrations from the road often cause wires to come loose over time. Unhooked the plug after the GFI last night, fired up the gen and reset the GFI and BAM!!!! GFI worked fine but it did take several tries to reset it. Pulled the next plug spark in the chain and first noticed the power wire was out of its spot. Had to stop there as the generator would have woke the kids up. This whole deal might end up being a plug wire, thing will know more tonight.
In the end I’m glad I pulled apart the Onan and see how everything is connected and where all grounds are. On both my new boats I have bought, I did all the rigging and running of wires myself just so I know it’s done right and I know where every connection is. And just for the record.... I don’t trust the deal one bit. They overcharge, lack knowledge (most) and don’t take pride in there work. My trailer will NEVER go to the shop as long as I own it.
