Do ALL 120v outlets operate while on the inverter only?

On my unit, 42RBQ, the two sets of outlets on the driver side, in the vicinity of the booth do not.

Not all outlets are on the inverter. I labeled mine that are on inverter power.

There are a few in my coach that are NOT hooked to the inverter. One behind the fridge that was used to power the Norcold aka NotSoCold (now gone), the outlet to the Spendide, and the outlet in the engine compartment for the engine block heater.

All others inside the coach are driven by the inverter. There is one which I had installed myself up near the drivers seat specifically for the Onan EC-30W unit which needs to detect when shore power has been disconnected.

The GFI in the bathroom is defective, it's on the same wall as the other two non-working outlets

I'll replace it later today and see if it will power those "inverter dead" outlets

Regards

Was going to suggest that as most plug outlets run through the GFI for safety. Not sure how you would have other plugs on the line not function while others do. Typically, either the GFI plug works and protects all or it trips and shuts all off. It may be a connection in the line that goes to feed the circuits that aren't operating. Plugs are usually wired in a loop. You can check continuity on each side of each of the plugs.

The Aspire has one inverter and when using battery power the coach is not wired for all outlets. The Anthem has two inverters so all plugs work on battery.

That depends on how your rig is wired. On our DSDP all plugins are powered through the inverter when off grid.

I can only speek for Aspire and Anthem . . . my 2013 Aspire does not have power on all outlets on inverting, I asked the question why power is not at all outlets and I received the answer I gave. Can not speek for other brand coaches.
