Electric help

[TheCanuckian]

Have a 2012 Bighorn, the one with the living room in the front.

The power just went out on the left side of the living room and outdoor receptacle. Looked for a reset somewhere, none found. Checked the breakers and all are where they are supposed to be. #3 fuse is called off-door side 15a. Pulled it and it looks good.

Any ideas?

Thanks everyone..

Thanks for update!
At times you need to step away for a while and the answer pops into your head at the oddes time. Middle of the hight for me!

Take it from an old sparky - you mostly cannot depend on looking at a fuse to determine if it is good/bad. Always try to use a good ohmmeter to check fuses, unless they are really burned up.
JMHO. Catfish 🙂

Receptacle would indicate AC and breakers vs DC and fuses. But good advice for DC issues. Chris

x2. I've found this to be the case several times. The breaker is kicked but it looks okay.

Let us know when you find the problem.

Yay!

Thanks everyone. The problem is fixed. Was laying in bed, listening to the thunder, and it came to me. We have a night light on the plug in the bathroom. It covers the GFI reset button.

Pulled the night light, pressed reset....light went on....both figuratively and realitively.

Niteny-nite.

To reset a breaker it needs to be switched off firmly then back on. Breaker does not always look tripped.
But check the GFCI first.

If you have a reel for your power cord that is one place to look.
Make sure you have power to each of the 25 amp legs.

The two legs of a 220V system are 50 amps each. 🙂
An excellent suggestion to make sure you have both sides though!

1. Breakers may look like they are not tripped, but can be anyway. Turn off each breaker and back on. You may find a tripped breaker.
2. You may have a tripped ground fault outlet. look at every outlet and if one has a ground fault trip device, merely reset it.
3. If you have 50 amp service, it is possible, but highly improbable that the main breaker only tripped on one leg. Turn off the main breaker and turn back on. Do the same at the park pedestal.

You should have a least one more likely two GFCI receptacles. Galley and head are normal locations.
Did you reset any of the circuit breakers/
Hate to say it but go through the rig again!
