Lost 120v power

Was working in motorhome in driveway plugged into house power with one air conditioner running. Turned on second air conditioner and immediately lost all 120 volt power. No power to any outlets or even to the buss bar in the breaker box. The manual that came with my allegro openroad must be generic to all models as things are not where the manual says.

Any ideas of what blew or tripped and if so where would I find it?
  • Thanks everyone. Found the problem and this will sound dumb. The cord from the house fried at the female end and was reading hot with my meter but moving it around I would lose power. All is well and thanks again.
  • you tripped something in the "HOUSE"

    not the RV

    CB or GFI in the house

    check the outlet you have the RV plugged into
    check the HOUSE service panel for a tripped breaker
    check the house/garage for a tripped GFI
  • Does the rig CB panel have power coming in to the main CB? Does the house plug have power?
  • The CB panel does list the front and rear air conditioners and they are 15amp. The thing is the CB panel buss bar has no power.
  • Check the house CB Panel........tripped 15A/20A breaker
    Unless you have a dedicated 30A or 50A power the 'house power' outlet is 15A/20A

    Good enough for 1 A/C unit.....but even that can be marginally if converter is in high charge mode
