I recently installed a new exterior 30A rv plug att our house and it has been powering the RV great for 5 days and then this afternoon we went in and the A/C, fridge, interior lights, all but 2 outlets don't work. all of the breakers are working - I tested the conductivity of them, and all work properly. I have 120v going to all breaker switches but only one breaker is providing power and that is to the Microwave and TV. I hve tried switching the lines going in to the breaker and none of the stuff works. I have looked for a GFI outlet or breaker and can not find one anywhere. the exterior outlet for the fridge is showing 120V with no fault according to my GFI tester. I am looking for any suggestion on where to look next.

it is a 2005 Winnebago Minnie 31C.

Thanks

I do not think the refer outlet is GFI???????? it is not on mine.

I would look harder for the "master" GFI outlet that is controlling the dead outlets.

My two kitchen outlets were controlled by the hidden bath GFI outlet>

Grab a kid or your wife and have them look for all outlets. Don't tell them why. Different height people see from different angels and often spot things I miss. I have a couple of GFI's and they are in stupid places.

It sounds like a GFI. Here's a link to Winnebago Wiring Diagrams: Wiring Diagrams

I found one of the GFI outlets and reset it - so now I have power to the outlets - still no power to the fridge, AC or the status panel or the light and FAn above the range. I checked the exterior outlet for the fridge and I have good power there, just not to the fridge.

Any other suggestions?

Thank you for the link to the wiring diagram

How's your 12v system? My AC & fridge need / use 12v for their control circuitry ... with out 12v power, they do not work. My interior lights are all 12v.

Ditto on the 12 volts. If the charger was offline the batteries could be dead and the charger has not brought them up yet.

We have the house batteries disconnected - they were disconnected when it was working.

Reconnect the batteries. 12 v controls the refrigerator (even on 120 v or propane) the thermostat is 12 v and turns the A/C or heater on and off. The range fan is 12 v, your water heater is 12 v controlled. Also, your on-board converter/charger is usually disconnected from the batteries when they are disconnected. That disconnect switch is only used for long term storage when not plugged in to shore power.

Hi all

I recently bought my first motorhome 1995 Class C Jayco Design Series on a ford F350. When I have the unit plugged into the outdoor house outlet the interior lights fans etc.. seem to work fine once its unplugged the batteries should run this stuff I would think but are not? I checked the power to both batteries and all the breakers appear on..... is there a Master fuse that might need replacing? man I am stumped??? :(
