Microwave and TV Power - Need help troubleshooting
I'm getting power to the MH. The microwave and both TV's in living room and bedroom went completely out. I was plugged into shore power when they went out. Any ideas/advise? Thank you.

Ok I will give you the power path to TV's and MIcrowave in MY RV. I will note options so this path fits nearly all RVs.
Shore power ---Auto Transfer Switch---Breaker box--30 amp branch---Inverter/charter---Sub panel---and then two 15 amp branches (out of 3) one to Microwave, One to Televisions and electronics (Both front and rear) and the 3rd to the GFCI chain.
The inverter and sub panel are optional
On some RV's. the Microwave and/or Television may be on GFCI.s
On some the Sub panel is part of the Inverter/Charger IF YOU HAVE ONE.
I had a RVer come to me for help... Half his RV had no 120 volt power.. One of the breakers on his inverter was clearly tripped.
Re-set.. he went inside his wife ask "Does he think he can help" hubby answered "He's already fixed it".. Just that fast.
Note that my RV did not COME with the inverter and sub panel they are after market add-ons so I know about 'em.

Sometimes you can trip ONE of the two park 50 amp breakers or your main breaker. Or sometimes ONE contact will be a tad flakey on the Marinco connector.. Re-seat all plugs and so on.
