electrical issue
2009 Monaco Knight only have one half my electrical outlets are working. Had an overload last night, checked the GFI outlet that is working fine. Cant find a fuse or breaker that relates to my problem. Any thoughts?

- Assuming you haven't inadvertently bumped the salesman switch, you issue can be traced to one of two items. The inverter breakers have already been discussed but the only thing not mentioned was the breakers might be the push button type which unless you know what to look for are easily missed. Lastly, you might have to begin searching for that elusive hidden GFCI. I think it's a game the guys building these things play with us end users. I had one in the engine compartment. Check the salesman switch, check the inverter breakers and finally start hunting for the hidden GFCI....Dennis
- Hi,
My first thought is the inverter circuit breaker too. Check your circuit breaker panel. Normally there will be a 30 amp breaker feeding the inverter, and two outputs from the inverter from shore power in the pass through mode. Because they installed #12 wire, normally there will be either a pair of 15 or 20 amp breakers on the output of the inverter. Those breakers are normally mounted to the inverter, and that is located inside one of the basement storage compartments.
Good luck,

Might need to reset your inverter - often the overloaded circuit is on the inverter and pops that circuit.
Last but not least you could have inadvertently turned off the inverter.
What ever it is let us know how it turns out.
BOL,
most definitely a tripped breaker on the inverter assuming its not in the main panel
Inverter on or off has zero bearing on the flow through electricity
so no inverter does not have to be on- I vote for the tripped inverter circuit breaker too. I've done it more than once.

BOL,- Wire came off of a push connection on an outlet, bad GFCI, tripped breaker. Take your choice.
