Hi,

I have a 2007 Tuscany. When plugged into shore power my bathroom gfi and micro do not work. When I turn on the genny, the micro and gfi work. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Are you hooked to 50 amps? If so, maybe one breaker on the pedestal is tripped causing you to lose one leg. I've had that happen before and I lost the micro, a few outlets, and a TV.

Chandler,

I have it plugged in at my house to a 30 amp receptacle. My coach is 50 amps but I have used this receptacle many times before and the micro worked. I'm wondering if there is another GFI in the coach that I'm not aware of that is tripped. I can only find one which is located by the bathroom sink.

First thing to try is both A/C units if only one unit works than Chandler is correct you have lost a hot leg. Since they work on the gen it has to be a problem with the auto transfer switch.

Hi Sam! Nice to see you! I just had a 50 to 30 amp adapter test bad. It was a cheapie and one leg was missing. It's funny, this happened this weekend to a guy two sites over from me. I gave him my adapter to try and he was good to go. Never saw that one before!

I would also think the transfer switch would be a good choice. Maybe someone forgot to tighten a wire?

Well that would certainly do it too. Always best to check the easy fixes first. Could also be a bad connection at the plug.
