94 Fleetwood Southwind Electrical Issues

I have a 94 Fleetwood Southwind I am having electrical issues with. I was camping in it this weekend in Texas and during the middle of the night the rear AC unit shut down (running on the generator). Got up to inspect the AC and noticed the lights over the bathroom mirror did not work. The next morning went to plug in my vacum cleaner to the 110 outlet and none of the outlets had power to them. Front AC unit works. Checked breakers under the fridge and breakers were not flipped. I flipped them to make sure they were set to the on position.

Any ideas what is going on and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Are any of your outlets in or near the bathroom GFI? (with the red/black buttons) If so, make sure they aren't tripped or just reset them to ensure they're working ok.

94-Newmar thanks for the info. I did check the GFI and was not tripped and I pushed to make sure. All of my 110 wall outlets inside the RV do not have power to them. I checked the other GFI's and they are good.

Any other sugestions?

Thanks for the help!

Well if you're handy with a multimeter I'd start at the transfer switch and check for voltage on both sides of it. If all is well on both sides of the transfer switch then start checking neutral/hot on each side of the breakers in the panel.

This could be two seperate problems. There is two breakers on your generator. One controls the front A/C and the other controls the rear A/C. They are on the side of the gen. As you face the gen. feel on the right side of the panel with the outside start switch. You will feel two circuit breakers. Reset these and check the the A/Cs. Make sure you dont have more than one Ground fault outlet.
