I have lost power at the outlet where the Vacuum plugs into, just inside the basement. I cut all power to reset the system, check main breakers in bathroom area, checked the fusses in the box behind the batteries and pulled the cover by the front door. Seems everything else is working.
What am I missing?

Possible wired in through a GFI plug some where , next step would be to trip and reset all GFI's, Good luck.

Skip426,
Now that you said that, made me think, why is my night light at the bathroom sink not on?
Pushed the reset and power is restored.
This site is great!

Thanks Skip426!!!

FWIW - Mine is plugged into a receptacle in the basement in the large smarbed on the drivers side midships. I never thought it was hooked into GCFI, but that makes lots of sense. Thank you for the information. Would never have thought to check those.

Every 110 outlet in my coach is wired through a GFI, and it's on my to do list to map out each circuit , so I don't have to race around to them all , the next time one trips.

So far none of mine have tripped. I could push the test circuit and see which ones work and which ones don't. Figure the bathroom one kills the kitchen, maybe the bedroom. Don't know if the two in the living room go out. Know they are not on the inverter, at least the front one is not, the middle one is. Have to check, another project.
