- mtdExplorerIn my 2008 Fleetwood, there is a gfi in the bathroom on the curb side and one in the bedroom on the driver side.
- wa8yxmExplorer IIIOk, I will assume you have a 50 amp RV.. IF not, stop reading this post now
IF you do read on...
Possible suspect list: in line order
1: Park power (lost a leg) NOT YOUR PROBLEM this is a park issue
2: Circuit breaker: Park pedestal.. One half tripped, other did not,, Most people believe this is not possible, I have seen it with my own eyes.
3a: Bad outlet (park problem)
3b: Bad plug (your problem)
3c: Plug only partilly in outlet (no problem, fully insert)
4: Bad cord
5: Same as 3 but the cord's outlet and motor home's inlet, all your problem though.. NOTE: Marinco Inlets and outlets you insert the outlet into the inlet and TWIST, this may be the problem, no twist.
6: Screw loose, Marinco outlet or inlet (on my rig it was the inlet, on another the outlet ALL OF THEM)
7: Bad cable inlet to Transfer Switch
8: Bad transfer switch.
My prime suspects are the circuit breaker (Park) plug/outlet junctions and loose screws..
Many RVers have a few screws loose, but of course I spolied the joke by telling you what screws I am referencing. - TucsonJimExplorer IIIf all the power works with the generator, but not shore power plug in, then you need to determine what is different between the two. Here's what I'd check first:
1. Fault with the shore power pedestal.
2. Are you using a different adapter with the generator than you are with the pedestal? If so, is that your cause?
3. You aren't using a different power cord with the generator than you are with the pedestal?
