Hi!New problem here, thanks in advance for any thoughts...We have shore power -- the A/C, the microwave, and A/C mode for the fridge all work.But all our 110 outlets (3 inside and 1 outside) are dead.I've checked all the breakers and they are fine, as are all the 12V fuses.Everything was fine when we left the camper around 5 hours ago but was like this when we returned. There has been some rain, but no storm.Any thoughts where I could start troubleshooting this?Thanks!(2013 Keystone Passport TT)

Check all of your GFCI's and reset the one that is tripped. JMO

I agree, check the GFI and see if it has tripped. The GFI is usually in the bathroom and will be just like a 110 outlet but will have a couple of buttons in the middle. If one button is OUT, reset it and then check if the power has been restored.GFI

Sure sounds like a GFI has been tripped. Check your outside outlet for a GFI. They are not usually put there but they are sensitive to moisture. If the GFI is not outside but won't stay on after resetting it, check the outdoor outlet for moisture.

It sure sounds like a tripped GFCI receptacle. You should have one of these installed where you may come in contact with water like the kitchen area, bathroom area, or wash up sink near the bedroom etc.. Those are the three areas in my trailer.the GFCI Receptacle will look similar to this google photo... One GFCI receptacle will control several additional regular receptacles downstream from its wiring...My outside receptacle on the side of the trailer is controlled by the GFCI Receptacle in the kitchen area. Since you have had alot of rain this outside receptacle would be very suspect to me of possible getting some moisture perhaps...Roy Ken

I replaced the GFI outlet today and everything is just peachy!
Thanks for all the help!

I had this problem. After lots of debugging, I found that the power converter was stolen. :S

On some RVs there is a breaker or breakers on the invertor/converter. Check it for a tripped breaker.

They won't reset if the fault continues. Since this occurred with rain there is a good chance a plug or something has moisture.

So if you later replace the GFCI and everything works the GFCI is bad - right? Maybe just the moisture dried up and you haven't solved the root problem.

Or a real problem still exists like a ground touching a neutral at a downstream receptacle.

Leave the GFCI there but disconnect the "load" wires from it and see if it will stay reset then. If it resets, the issue isn't the GFCI.

X2, I am glad that you found your problem and posted it. I personally would put the GFCI back in and would be looking for moisture or other problems. The GFCI are put there for your protection. JMO

Check the outside outlet for moisture.

Just in case it's not a GFI, It could be a loose wire on the circuit breaker feeding the outlets or on the first outlet in line. Don't forget to turn off the power when checking for loose wires.

I bet it's a GFCI plug issue....

Just in case you hadn't heard that yet (all in good fun).
