We have a 2008 Newmar Dutch Star. We lost all power to all 110 v outlets. We have power to washer dryer ,waterheater. THE Circuit breaker box with the mico,app,and lights has no power. We have tried to reset the breakers but didn't seem to be tripped.

Try resetting the breaker at the power stanchion. One leg of the 50 amp service may have tripped, which should take out both legs on the breaker, but sometimes doesn't on a worn or damaged one.

Check the circuit breaker on your Inverter itself. This will be in your basement on the inverter cabinet and sometimes one or both will trip.

Do you know where it's located??Do you mean you can't find the inverter or you can't find the circuit breakers on the inverter?Usually the inverter is located reasonably close to the house batteries and may be in a basement compartment next to the batteries. The circuit breakers are mounted on the side or front of the inverter cabinet. Some are push buttons and some are lever type breakers.

I have found the circuit box in the bathroom but can't find anything that looks like a inverter anywhere. I'm still looking.

Lost all power to 110 v outlets and microwwave.

I have had the same issue. Since I want to be able to use electric heat without worry I tapped into the circuit going to the block heater and put in an outlet that goes through the inverter. There was plenty of room to replace the single gang box for the block heater switch with a double gang (old work) box and put an outlet beside the switch.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I found it! It was close to the batteries between the C rails in the basement. I pushed the manual reset button. Good to go.

I love a cheap, easy fix. Especially the cheap and easy part. :)

Your inverter will not be inside of your coach. It will be in a basement compartment. I believe a 2000 watt inverter was standard but your coach could have had an optional larger inverter. .

Sounds like you have lost one side of a 50 amp service.

DO NOT DISMISS THE SUGGESTION TO CHECK THE INPUT; the problem may be external to your rig.

Every RV owner should have an inexpensive multi-meter. Sometimes they are even free at Harbor Freight; less than $10 all the time.
