No 120vac power to receptacles
I just bought a 2003 Gulf Stream YS country club Quatro. Plugged into 50amp service have no 110 at any of the electrical outlets no circuit breakers tripped. Batteries not being charged while plug in either.

Verify you have 120 vac coming through the transfer switch. If not bad transfer switch. If so verify 120 vac leaving distribution panel to inverter and also 120 vac coming back from inverter to distribution panel. Let me know what you find.

To help speed the search head on down to your local hardware store and pick up a non contact voltage tester -
Klein Tools Non-Contact Voltage Tester-NCVT-1SEN - The Home Depot
It senses the magnetic field alternating current produces. Won't tell you what the volts are just that there is power present.

OK have you checked the circuit breaker at the power supply and checked to make sure there is power actually there
IF so check with a meter at the double 50 amp breaker in the main panel in the MH
If no power there then your ATS is bad or stuck
Disconnect power cord and plug back in and see if you hear the transfer switch click as you should hear it
START the generator and see if u have power

Select55 has given you some good instructions. between the terminals on the 50 amp circuit breaker you should read 220-250 vac and 110-130vac between one of thhe circuit breaker terminals and the neutral bar (white conductors). What do you find?

No AC power coming from inverter with shore power or generator running looks like time for a new inverter, thanks for the help. Headed out in the old Open Range 5th wheel for a week in Fredericksburg, will resolve MH problem when we return. Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to all!

OK but you have tested and confirmed there is power to the inverter though one will assume?
and as it sits the water heater heats and the roof AC units run ? Correct?

Yes water heater and A/C's run power going into inverter only 80 volts coming out. As soon as up turn something on that is plugged in shuts down. Sure would like to see a wireing diagram for this MH. Thanks

Look again...most inverters have one....(or more).
What is the make/model number of your inverter?

yes that's sound like the 120V sensor in the inverter has gone bad(maybe)
I had that happen two years ago on a 2001 Monaco;; the part was no longer available new, but a inverter repair guru in san diego had the part and repaired it for 450$
If it was a breaker or resettable fuse there would be zero power coming out
if u want power for now and not in need of the inverter simply join all the 120V in/out wires together for now

Inverters on shore power just pass the 120 volts thru them using an internal relay.
The relay could have burnt contacts or the wire connections to and from the inverter could be loose, causing resistance.
Find the junction box and with power OFF, tighten all of them. Should be 6 wires, 2 black, 2 white and 2 bare ground wires.
