2001 Fleetwood Discovery 30 amp. Everything was working fine. Went out next day and all the electrical outlets that are next to the refrigerator,microwave and front tv have no power to them. Any ideas! Checked fuses put in new circuit breaker and I have taken apart all the outlets.

Good advice here. Either a GFI has tripped-sometimes for no explainable reason or one of probably two little breakers has popped in the converter/inverter. I have had both happen for no reason that could be explained. If you have a inverter/converter combination unit like my Magnum or others there is usually two 15a circuits that go through the inverter and there are breakers for those circuits on the inverter. One of those circuits do what you have lost.

My tripped GFI was in the bathroom and had a little red light on that indicated it was tripped.

Check the small circuit breaker on the inverter. It could be either white or red.

Is any one of them a GFI oulet or are they connected to a GFI circuit breaker in the electrical panel. The GFIs are engineered to trip if something strange hppens on the circuit. Occaisionally mine will trip on the circuit the frig and the microwave plus an outside outlet are on. Probably due to moisture.

Anyway I just reset the breaker in the electrical panel and power is restored.

One of the outlets should be a GFCI outlet. It will have a reset button.

It controls all outlets in its circuit. Sounds like that is it.

Bad or tripped GFCI someplace. I would check the bathroom first but it could be many places.

Reset the circuit breakers on the inverter itself. These are outside on the inverter case. There could also be an outside GFI outlet that needs to be reset.
