I was awakened last night when power went out in my Phaeton. I turned inside circuit breaker off and on. All came back up except the front AC, front TV and electronics in cabinet controlling TV's, hot water heater, washer/dryer, outlets in the two bathrooms that I am aware of at this time.
I checked the circuit breaker and fuse panel on the exterior drivers side, reset inverter, checked battery compartment and have not able to isolate problem.

Help!

Your problem is has nothing to do with any of the breakers or fuses in your unit. It is an AC power problem coming from the pedestal or a transfer switch that is only transferring power on one of the two 50 amp circuits.

Since you have no power to circuits that do not go through the inverter, start at the pedestal and make sure you have power to both sides of the 50 amp circuit there. My bet is that it is a park power problem.

If you have power to both sides of the circuit at the pedestal, the transfer switch would be the next logical place to check. Give it a good pounding with the heel of your hand and hope that both sides of the 50 amp circuit are transferred.

If you don't have volt/ohm meter, now is the time to get one and learn how to use it. You should also consider getting a Progressive Industries EMS system. You would know from the display what the problem was very quickly - and your coach would be protected from wonky park power problems.
