Hi again everyone - I am so grateful that you are willing to help me!!
I will try to answer everything I can and tell you what’s going on as I do- I am so grateful!
We are members of Thousand Trails. We stay 21 days park to park and so far have only been to two parks because this happened. I do for an extension week so we could try to fix this.
We plug into 30 amp shore power. Pedestal- to autoformer- to our line - to our coach.
We tried unplugging everything and taking a beat then acting as if we just pulled in, thinking we somehow forgot a step.
I was told to make sure gold screws went to positive on the gfci, and silver to negative. I know they ( my son and friend) went round and round about how to hook it up and then the friend told my son he was supposed to put the yellow sticker in a certain spot and copy it exactly, and that since he didn’t the two new gfci were hopelessly locked up. This morning we got plain outlets ( just trying to close circuit and go from there) my husband very carefully hooked them up ground to ground, white to gold, black to silver. We can now read power to the outlet but nothing to the outlet works . Just now, he tried to start the engine and it would not start. I immediately had him disconnect from shore power and start the generator, then start the engine. Thankfully it is running right now but we still have no a/c or any working outlets on the right side , and one outlet ( under kitchen table) is working on the shore power side. Before this catastrophe, everything worked- fridge, lights , lava fan - a/c , outlets, tvs. Now fridge is on propane. One outlet on shore side, and no joy anyplace else and something is stealing my battery charge as well , right? It was just jumped this morning-
