We own a 2006 Fleedwood Bounder 32w on a ford chassis. Some of our 120v electric outlets are not working either on shore power or generator. Found only one ground fault breaker and tried all the breakers in the panel, what could be the problem.

When you trip the GFI do the outlets that are working continue to work? Could it be that the working outlets are not on the GFI and the GFI is bad?

Anywhere you have access to water like the sinks and outside should have a GFCI. I have three in my RV trailer. Kitchen sink, bathroom washup, bedroom washup sink. My outside 120VAC is chained to the kitchen sink GFCI...

Your problem certainly sounds like a tripped GFCI somewhere...

Probably a hidden GFI. You may be able to make a pretty good guess where the problem might be by looking at where the non working outlets are located and see where the shortest path to the power panel is. The missing GFI or loose wire should be along this path.

Sounds like a tripped GFCI circuit. Look for one in a basement compartment, engine bay, or near the microwave. Could also be underneath one of the sinks, bathroom or kitchen. Also, check to make sure your inverter/converter has not had it's breaker popped.....Dennis

120VAC circuits are usually daisy chained, so go to each working circuit, pull it apart and look for loose wires. Repeat until you find the loose connection. BTW those push on wire connections have a bad habbit of coming loose, so new outlets with screw terminals are a great idea.

Keep looking for other GFI's. Ours has 3. Some could be hidden...cabinets, behind something, etc.
