My dw had a toaster oven, toaster and coffee pot all on at the same time. Needless to say this blew the power to the GFCI and 2 other kitchen outlets .
I have no power to the GFCI in the gadget garage . I cannot reset it.
There is power to the bathroom vanity GFCI.
I get no voltage readings from black, white or green wires on the kitchen GFCI.
Am I missing something.

120 volt breaker in main panel has tripped. GFCI will not reset if there is no 120 volt being supplied to circuit. Check for a tripped breaker in main breaker panel.
Good Luck.

That would be an easy solution but where is the main breaker panel ? My user manual makes no mention of it and says circuits are GFCI protected.

Looking at page 3 of the Body, 110 Volt Wiring Installation for your coach you'll see the Load Center (aka 120V Breaker Box) at the foot of the bed.

Blue Gray Bus:
I think if you read your manual carefully you will find that only 2 circuits are GFCI protected, usually the kitchen and bath areas that are located near water. You may also find that the outside outlet if you have one is connected to one of the GFCI's.
Find the 120 Volt Breaker Box, reset the tripped breaker and then reset the GFCI and you should be good to go. BTW... make and model and year of your coach in your signature would be helpful for future help on this forum.
Again Good Luck. Let us know how you make out.

Dear CFSUNRISE,
I have only owned this UF for 19 months never knowing where this multitude of breakers was, let alone existed !!
Many thanks . I reset the double 15amp breakers and all is ...almost well !
We still have no amperage readings on the " load center". Is there a fuse for this?
Thanks again and thanks for this wonderful Forum . Jeremy

Turn on all of the breakers, even ones not needed, and see if you get amperage readings.

They sometimes tap into breakers that you would leave off to run the display.

all the breakers are set on. After the overload I wondered why the galley GFCI did not trip first. I will replace this GFCI to be sure. I wonder if there is a fuse to protect The load Center.
Thanks, BGB

GFCIs are not overload devices.

They trip for ground faults that could kill you, not too many amps.

When you are on 50a or gen power there will be no amp reading on the power center. You will see an amp display when on 20a or 30a power.

AF CHAP thank you so much. That just about clears all my issues up...except it seems the water heater will now only run on propane. I reset the breaker for it as a precaution but it will only heat water on LP. ??

Actually you should get an amp reading on the generator, but not 50A shore power.

Electric heating element can go bad. And there is a re-set button on the water heater. I don't see how your tripping breakers would have any effect on either. I am more likely to have a problem with LP heating than electric.
