06 Dolphin lost TV power-help!

[jagbuxx]

Hello all-
Away from home and the coach lost power to front and rear tv outlets, outside tv power ok-I was hooked up to my brothers house-normal wall outlet power-turned generator on to fire microwave. after about 30 seconds microwave and tv's shut down and I could not turn off generator from switch. I found one of the breakers at the genny tripped-reset and was able to turn it off. I checked all the breakers I could find and they were ok but the outlets in the front and at the back tv have no power. Any idea where a breaker could be for the tv's. I've reset the hallway breakers, right forward compartment where invertor is but still nothing...
Any advice is apppppreciated!!!

Take a look for a 2nd breaker panel located near the inverter. In my 2005 Dolphin it's in the outside compartment just ahead of the main entry door. There should be a breaker panel in that compartment for the inverter. The shore power and the inverter are routed through these breakers. If the breakers are good it is possible the transfer relay inside the inverter is not working properly. Also check to see if AC power (shore and/or gen) is getting to the inverter. All power for the TV's are routed though the inverter.

Check all the ground fault plugs they could be linked to these outlets.

Thanks for the tip. I will take a look. I have checked those breakers and they were not tripped. Maybe something deeper like the relay. I was wondering if the "powertek" tv controller which inhibits tv operation while driving had anything to do with it...I looked at it and it did not seem burnt or anything. All the wall plugs that the tv's plug into are down except for the outdoor tv.

Like Speed Racer said, check all of the ground fault outlets and make sure none of them tripped. Some of these outlets control several other outlets down stream from them. I know the GFI outlet on the side of my sink counter also controls the outlet on the outside of my motorhome.

Still looking around-thanks-
also, it seems as if while genny is running or on shore power, coach battery not recharging. This has happened ywicw before and they did something in that right front compartment but I pulled and tugged at everything...I am going to look at all of the gfi outlets.

i found a previous thread going to the invertor and pressing one of the membrane buttons and MAGIC, everything started to work, TV's and shore power bagan to recharge the system.
