Looks like the battery is still getting charged. I am checking the power outlets now to see if that is an issue.

Ok, if the batteries are getting charged then 110 volts is coming into the rv.
Are you connected to 50 amp or 30 amp at the post?
You may have a simple GFCI tripped in the bathroom or kitchen area. Look at every outlet very close. They like to hide those darn things.

Why did you take the gfi out?
You are not going to get anywhere without a voltmeter. If you do not know if voltage is getting to the gfi you may get seriously hurt.
My advice at this point it so get someone to help.

We're going to get a mobile RV Repair guy to check it out. It's beyond my knowledge without a multimeter.

FYI: I disconnected both batteries and a.c. power to the RV before I took out the GFCI to be safe.

If you have an inverter, you may have blown a circuit breaker on the inverter. My Magnum inverter has 2 pin-type 20 amp breakers. One supports the microwave circuit and the other supports most every other outlet in the coach.

My fuses on the inverter shows power, I think it is ok.

I just did some troubleshooting with a neighbor at the RV park. Looks like the shore power cord might be the issue. The last ditch would be trying to find a breaker that is tripped (I really wish I knew all breakers before we bought this!).

You can always see if you can find a former electrician (or cable/telco guy) in your park with a toner-tracer and figure out what goes to what.
Then label those suckers

It was the most expensive GFCI replacement known to man! Everything works now.

Have you got a multimeter yet? Harbor Freight gives them away for free with a coupon.
