- wa8yxmExplorer IIIOne of the thigns I often say is many RVers have a few screws loose.
You now have fewere screws loose (Those are the very screws I refer to in the first line in case you wonder) one of mine took over 3 FULL TURNS to tighten. - captron33ExplorerYes good advise, checked many today.

"One loose screw caused several 120 volt outlets to not have power."
You are fortunate that you found this problem. Under the right conditions, "one loose screw" can cause things to get hot enough to start a fire.
And thanks for posting your solution. Hopefully someone else will be able to learn from your experience & solution.
You might consider this a good time to systematically go around and make sure all AC connections are clean and tight. Then can loosen up over time. Kind of a pain to do, in fact, I'm probably overdue myself, but it's a good preventative maintenance step.
Safe Travels!
~Rick - captron33ExplorerOk. Good news!!! After 4 knowledgeable friends looked at and researched the problem, one made a second visit and in the breaker box happened to touch the wire and noticed it was loose. Sooooo
Tightened the set screw and fixed the issue. One loose screw caused several 120 volt outlets to not have power. - AllegroDNomad.
- Is thus an onboard genset or a portable?
If you have tried operating rig with onboard genset set only, you need to check for proper output from genset going to transfer switch.
Make and model of genset? - captron33ExplorerHave,t tried with only the gen. On. All other ideas have been verified.
- devildog1971Explorercould be a bad G F I plugs both of mine went out at the same time bought three from home depot bad out of the box. do you have power with the generator on?
- Have you checked at the inverter circuit breakers for 120 volt power?
Have you checked each circuit brekers at 120 volt AC distribution panel for 120 volt output?
Use the small three light plug in tester at all other 120 volt receptacles to see if any others are dead - captron33ExplorerStill no help
