Power Outage

You'd know if the GFI took the fridge out if the fridge is on auto and now it is running on Propane. Even if the fridge doesn't indicate that it is now running on Propane, you should hear the propane if you are near the fridge vent.

We had a similar issue in our house. Main breaker didn't trip, GFI didn't trip, but no power. Replaced the GFI outlet and the outlets started working again.

Did you firmly turn the breakers off and firmly back on to reset any tripped condition.

Otherwise I would remove that GFI to verify if there is a feeder to other outlets and measure voltage is present. Then start removing all outlets to measure voltage along the entire circuit.

If the dead circuit includes a slide check for issues with the external flexible connection.

Good luck.

I have a Four Winds also and do 90% of the people I RV with to sporting events.

And respectively I have to disagree with you on the GFI only attached to your bathroom.

One GFI for the whole coach and it is connected to everything. I have the air on and start the micro and it blows the breaker and I have no power to the a/c electric side of the coach.

Your reference to the one side of the MH? Depending on which model you have almost all the a/c "appliance" stuff that does not work with a tripped gfi IS on one side! :B T

he fridge is usually on the opposite side but you won't know if that is on until it defrosts but then again it might automatically go to propane if you have it on auto and the propane turned on, so you won't know about the tripped gfi on that.

It's a very good practice to turn everything off thats protected by the GFCI before resetting the GFCI. There is a set of contacts in the GFCI and they burn up easy when closed under load.

If you turn the GFI off do the receptacles that are working now turn off?

If they do you probably have another GFI, or there is a wire disconnected.

If they stay on, then the GFI is probably powering the receptacles that are off and the GFI is bad.

Did you check the outlet beside the bed?

BTW, I found on my current rig, the GFI does not necessarily control one side of the rig.
I had a GFI in a rear bedroom knock out the outlets almost 40 feet away near the front.

x2 GFI's just plumb get tired. The button can even be in the right position and still not work.

Because what happened to your RV happened to mine......I would open up the GFI outlet.

I took the GFI off the wall and found burnt wires. Still attached but burned/burning from resistance. :(

Thank you for the reply. The bathroom GFI appears to be limited to the bathroom.
I am leaning toward the reply that there is another (well hidden) GFI.
Again, thanks to everyone.

Have you tried resetting the GFI in the bathroom/vanity area?

Yes, several times with no luck.

x3. My brother's TT had that happen. GFCI button was set properly but no juice on the circuit. Replaced the GFCI outlet and that cured it.
