Lost Television AC Power

[Wayne M]

We were watching TV tonight and DW started channel surfing and we lost power. She turned it on again and while surfing, lost power. I though it might be a setup, that when you pass a certain channel, TV goes off. (Like hospitals) Not a chance. Checked AC receptacle and no power. Work around was to plug it into an extension cord I have.

Seems the bedroom TV is on the same circuit and lost power also. Checked Ckt breaker in BR that says Monitor/TV, but did not help.

Where the heck is the circuit breaker for the televisions?????

Wayne,
On my coach the TV AC circuit breaker is on the forward side of the bed, along side of the DC circuit breakers. There is a wood panel covering the breaker panels. This breaker also feeds the outlets on each side of the bed. I don't think Winnie will vary that setup to much but location of the braker panel may vary by model

Make sure you reset all your GFCI outlets. I've found outlets that didn't work that I never imagined would be controlled by the bathroom GFCI.

Yep! Been there done that on the GFCI circuits.

I did find the breaker just where I remembered it to be. Good thing for long term memory. If I had just noticed it the same day I'd still be looking for it. It was where you indicated Harry.

Did some more research and found out that the Microwave was out, the AC/Heat Pump was out, along with the wall plugs.

Switched the heat to furnace as I have almost a full tank of propane. Not that cold here in Las Vegas, but just enough to need to pull the chill off. Heat pump works great.

WHAT I DID FIND: Or didn't, depending on your perspective. Since I had one leg of 120v being fed in, I suspected it was the pedestal. I went out last night and checked, and the circuit breaker was on (as evidenced by having some 120v). I was getting upset at Winnebago, and decided that I'd just wait until morning to call them and continue trouble shooting.

Set the thermostat for propane and went to bed. Nice and toasty until about 4 a.m., when no heat. Pulled the covers up and went back to sleep. About 0630 I got up and raised the thermostat - nothing. DC voltage was to low to my surprise. I would expect DC voltage to last a few days before needing recharging. I did not want to start the Onan in consideration of our neighbors. I was going to try the 30 Amp connection to see if it would provide 120 to both phases. Went out, tripped the circuit breaker, said what the heck, turned it back on still connected to 50 Amp, came in, and presto magico, full power.

Sure would have saved myself some stress if I had done that last night!!!! Dumb are me!

However, what gives with the house batteries only lasting through the night?????
