AC electric problems
I have a 34 foot 1999 Pace Arrow. For no apparent reason the AC plugs (110) have stopped working in the rear half of my rig. I have checked the fuses but don't know what else to do, can someone help me out?

- My house still has knot and tube in most of it. I just took a fuse box out of the garage and put in a breaker load center. The house had fuses until about 10 yeaqrs ago.

i think very few of us, has lived anywhere in the last 30yrs that had fuses for 120v
I don't know, I have two separate friends who still have fuses in their S&B's along with knot and tube wiring. Neither has ever upgraded to CB's.
ok..but that still leaves very few of us
the last place i lived, that was wired that way
was built before WWII, and it was over 35 yrs ago when i lived there
i doubt the place is still there
i will have to google earth that area and see if it is still standing- If you can't find anything... click the breakers one at a time to the OFF position then reset to the ON position. You may have a tripped breaker that did not move to the middle "tripped" position.

- fuses were in the 30's

- Yes should have circuit breakers, fuses are for 12volt items.
check the patio gfi. {outside outlet} - Fuses have nothing to do with A/C outlets with one possible exception and that one needs a wrench.
Suspects: If half the house is not working and it's a 50 amp house you lost a leg, Loose wire or tripped breaker.
Other conditions include tripped breakers, IF you have an inverter you have TWO breaker panels.. One is the MAIN panel, the other is either on the converter or somewhere else (Mine is behind the main panel in the next room).
And of course a tripped GFCI as the other responders suggested. - Moved from Forum Technical Support
