Using outside electrical to run an 1500PSI power washer and after about an hour or so I lost all 110 power in the trailer. I pulled all the fuses and they "check" O.K. , tripped all the breakers and nothing. Power is going from to house (30amp) to the inverter and power is going to the fuse box. What am I missing? We leave for a month to MN in a week and I really need to get thing fixed. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Are you washing the RV with the pressure washer? If so, you may have gotten some water into a receptacle, a GFCI receptacle.

Outside outlet on trailer?Then it is feed from a GFI controlled circuit which has tripped.Check GFI outlets in kitchen/bathroom. Reset the one that is tripped.And you probably have a 'converter' vs 'inverter' unless you had one installed and tied it into 110AC circuits.The 30A shore power feeds the Main AC Panel (with circuit breakers for 110V AC appliances and outlets)plus AC to converter which then supplies 12V DC power and charges battery (battery supplies 12V DC when not connected to AC shore power source) The 12V DC uses fuses.Hopefully you were using that 1500 psi power washer on the driveway vs trailer.Those power washers can cause damage to trailers (lift graphics, force water into nooks/crannies, short out control modules on furnaces/fridges/water heaters, peel caulking, force water into/around windows Etc.)

Just proves you're never too old to learn something new. ;)

LOL.

If I didn't participate in household chores we couldn't even *get* into the bathroom.

Glad you got the GFCI reset!

I just whip out the leaf blower when vacuuming/dusting is needed in house.
That 200 mph discharge flat cleans up!

BIG thanks. Bathroom GFI was tripped. I reset it and all is well (at least in my rv)!

And you probably have a 'converter' vs 'inverter' unless you had one installed and tied it into 110AC circuits.

The 30A shore power feeds the Main AC Panel (with circuit breakers for 110V AC appliances and outlets)plus AC to converter which then supplies 12V DC power and charges battery (battery supplies 12V DC when not connected to AC shore power source) The 12V DC uses fuses.

Hopefully you were using that 1500 psi power washer on the driveway vs trailer.
Those power washers can cause damage to trailers (lift graphics, force water into nooks/crannies, short out control modules on furnaces/fridges/water heaters, peel caulking, force water into/around windows Etc.)
