Electrical problem

I have a 3 year old 17 foot Idea TT. I am at a campground in Central Ohio, plugged into the power pole. My lights and my water pump have quit working all of a sudden. The fuses for the lights and pump are fine. The outlets, the air conditioner and the microwave are working. The GFI is fine.
What would make my lights and water pump stop working?

It is going to be dark soon! Help!

  • Can you make a cover for it?

    When our granddaughter was 2 years old we took her & DD camping. We knew GD wanted to push switches so I made a cover for the slide & awning switches secured by velcro. Out of sight - out of mind.

    They put it in a very inconvenient place, under the dinette seat. Very easy place for my granddaughter to have kicked it!

    Thanks so much again!


    you're welcome - glad it was something simple.

    just google switch Guards. Not sure what your switch looks like.

  • all the things you mention are 12volt. Do you have a battery disconnect switch that may have gotten bumped?
