Freezing in Roanoke- electrical mystery 98 Holiday Imperial

I have a friend living in his recently acquired 98 Holiday Rambler Imperial.

Last night the power in the campground went out. My 70 yea-old friend went to work and when he got home power was restored for everyone but him.

I spent a while on the phone trying to help him figure it out. He's recycled the breaker at the pole,and in the coach. The 20 amp outlets at the pole are good.

There is no 50amp power. He does not have a meter or the skills to use it.

Are there any other components besides the obvious breaker issues?

  • Is there no employee at the campground who can check and help?

    One somewhat reasonable possibility that comes to my mind is perhaps your friend used the generator when the power was out, and forgot to move a plug from the generator outlet to the shore power connection. (This is assuming he doesn't have an EMS system that is showing some error or fault).
