Shore power

[mdgalusza]

When I plugged in my 50 amp line. Only some of my electronics worked.
Back AC, micro, some outlets all worked.
Front AC, tv,other outlets didn't st all.
What could it be?

If OK, check for a tripped GFI-- the bathroom and kitchen are likely GFI locations, though some coaches have them in the basement.

wolfe?? did u read any of the replys? the OP clearly says his front AC is not working? they don't run through a GFI or a inverter
that's why I suggested trying a 30 amp outlet to see if he gets his power back in those lines or not

You are correct, the roof A/C is the critical "not on inverter" factor.

Thanks.

If u have a 30amp to 50 adapter try running off the SP 30 amp plug (assuming its got one) that will tell u if its a leg out on the 50 amp SP outlet

GFI reset??

to run his front AC? I don't think so I think he lost one leg of the 50 amp shore power
Cant be a inverter breaker because AC systems don't run through the inverters unless its newer prevost

GFI reset??

Definitely sounds like you lost a leg of the 50 amp power. Problem is where? Multiple possibilities -

1. Camp ground breaker
2. Camp ground power outlet
3. Your power cord
4. Your shore power/generator transfer switch
5. Your coach wiring to breaker panel
6. Your coach 50 amp breaker and panel

First thing to try is your generator. If power is restored with the generator running you just eliminated 1/2 the list starting at part of the transfer switch (#4) and working going down on the list. The switch could still be the problem but you know it will pass the generator power. Another easy try is if you have a surge protector on the end of the power cord. Try plugging in without it.

Going deeper you digging into 120VAC power distribution and if your skills are not up to it I would advise calling for an assist. Many camp grounds keep phone numbers for mobile techs in the area. Getting bit by 120VAC will not make for a pleasant camp trip.

Good luck and tell us what you find.

Check the inverter/converter to see if there are any circuit breakers. I had a similar problem and found 2 circuit breakers on the back of the inverter, and one of them had popped.

I love mysteries!!

Perhaps one leg is feeding the Inverter/Converter with built in transfer switch that is not working?? If you turn the Inverter on, do those circuits come alive?

Did you flip both breakers on the power pedestal?

It sounds like 1/2 of the circuit breaker is not allowing power to pass in to your coach. Reset the 50 amp breaker at the pedestal and in your coach main panel.
