93 Safari 38' Electrical issue
I have no power up front at TV. I have power at breaker box. I follow the current up to front ice maker where its dead. The outlet from ceiling right above ice maker good. Hate to start running new lines from there. Is this a continuous current? Breaker has current. I hate electrical issues. Any ideas?? THX

Do you have an inverter? If so then check it and see if it is on and the little pop out circuit breaker has popped. Try pushing it back in

Have you verified that the TV and ice maker are on the same circuit? If so, shut off power and unscrew last outlet box on circuit with power. It could be a bad connection or bad GFI not passing power on to next outlet. In addition, the TV probably has a switch powered by ignition to lock out TV during travel. Check that.

Sorry for bad typing
The 1800 watt converter has 2 110 volt normal plugs. I checked for electricity and neither one has current. They are plugged into an outlet. If plugged in there is a shut down light blinking. If not plugged in the shut down light is not blinking. Also next to this inverter is another box that hums and it to has a 110 volt plug. What is this item for my reference. Thx

Well if the inverter has no 115 v output then you need to check for a circuit breaker on the unit. Most of the time they don't look like a normal circuit breaker but look like a small button. It may have reset written by it. Look real carefully and see if you see a reset button. Do you have a remote control panel for the inverter and is it turned on. The other thing that can cause the problem is no 12 volts from your house batteries. This can be caused by dirty and loose battery cables, bad batteries, or just run down batteries. If you disconnect from shore power and have the generator off then do you have any ceiling lights?

Similar to my 94
In your inverter bay there probably to the left of the inverter (it should buzz) First check the white buttons on the front they are breakers. Then reset the two gfci plug ins to the left. (OH I forgot the switch on the inverter is supposed to be turned off not on. ) The box to the far left is the transfer switch. It switches between generator power and shore power. One of the gfi plug ins will be for the two lights over the couch and then the TV and possibly music stuff in the cabinet over the drivers seat. My tv was in the center cabinet then the wires went to the cabinet on the right that has the cd player and the antenna wires with a splitter for the front and back tv and cable and antenna. It is screwed into the back wall of the pass side cabinet. Then the power goes down below the dash to a 4 plug in box and the end of the run. All go out when that GFCI pops in the inverter cabinet. Hope that helps.

You definitely have like mine. Thanks for info. It is on to something for my rig. Please clarify. The 2 GFCIs are on Heart converter? I have 1 white reset. #2 clarify this: " One of the gfi plug ins will be for the two lights over the couch and then the TV and possibly music stuff in the cabinet over the drivers seat. My tv was in the center cabinet then the wires went to the cabinet on the right that has the cd player and the antenna wires with a splitter for the front and back tv and cable and antenna." GFI is inside right?

I have two gfi's in the box with the inverter. Mine are one on top of the other between the inverter and the transfer switch. They are just plug ins with a reset button in the middle. I have posted some wiring diagrams on the safari friends web site. You need to join that group there are many things there that can help as well as almost 1,000 members most have smc safaris (OLDER)

Also I only see 1 GFI with 2 plugs in it. I should have 2? I'll look a little harder.
