Electrical Problem

[Candie4749]

We have a 2011 Coachmen Catalina that we purchased in June and while camping this weekend the electric outlets stopped working in one area only underneath the window by the dinette and by the area for the television. We tried flipping all the breakers and checked the fuses but that did not work. Any ideas?

I'm going to make a suggestion here that will definitely reduce the problem or at least help find one if one should occur. When you buy a rig, look at the the converter/distribution panel and using a DMM determine what each 120 volt breaker and each 12 volt fuse controls and write the information down and keep it with your manuals.

The original owner of our rig did this and he identified each wire and cable attached to the house batteries. I have used the list and it makes trouble shooting easier.

I have also done this for the breaker panels for every house or condo we have owned. It's a simple and easy thing to do.

We will try the suggestions. Thanks Everyone!!

If the above does not fix the problem, get out your volt meter. Circuits aremusually daisy chained from one to the next. Go to the last working circuit on the line and open it up. It is possible a wire hqs come loose.

Look for the GFCI(Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet and reset it. It'll have a Test button and a Reset button on it. Mine is in the bathroom. The outlets that are not working are wired thru it to also protect them(you from shock). On my last rig, the GFCI was in the outdoor outlet. Kind of a pain to go outside to reset it. Make sure no water is getting into the outdoor outlet. That will give you nuisance tripping.

Try resetting your inverter if you have one.

Check all the GFCI's to make sure one isn't tripped. That's the little red button in the center of some of the duplex ooutlets. Reset them all.

Check and reset your GCFI outlets. You have one tripped. GCFI outlets can feed several other outlets in an RV.
