Inverter powering only one outlet
Appears my inverter is powering only one outlet in my RV. The TV/DVD outlet in the living area. All outlets work on shore power. This just started a month or so ago. Any thought on how this could ...

Some inverters have a circuit breaker on it's output, and one might be tripped. What brand inverter is it, what brand coach?
Normally if the inverter had been running several receptacles, say 2 in the kitchen, the microwave, and the TV area, then if those will no longer work on inverter power, they also would not work on shore power as well.
Most RV's do not have all the receptacles hooked up to the inverter. This saves battery power, and only runs what you need to run, not everything. Each GFI connected to a inverter will consume about 6 watts per hour, or with the typical RV having 8 GFI's installed, about 4 AH hourly! This can take a toll on your RV battery supply.
Good luck,
Fred.
