Off, unplugg, flip coach breakers, plug shore line, flip park breaker on.

Thanks... I suspect the park breaker was the culprit then.

Did you flip the park breaker off before unplugging and then back on after plugging in again?

Contacted Fleetwood Customer Service and a quick solution was: unplugged the shore line at source, then plugged back in. Magic, worked. Appears on one half of 50amp connected. DW very happy.

Was it one of the two 120V breakers on your inverter?

Sounds like the issue - see if you can change site or plug in through your 30 amp convertor - that might work - if not on 30 then most likely the inverter is the issue.

Let us know how you solved the problem.

BOL,

Had the same thing happen once and for what ever reason the electric pedistal had the problem. I checked it and only had power on one leg. Moved to next site and problem gone.

Is that an outlet that works off the inverter and maybe is the inverter breaker tripped.
