Also, check all your GFI outlets to see if one tripped. Those are little culprits to 120V issues all the time.

Welcome to iRV2.
Yes there has to be a small household style breaker box, somewhere.
Unfortunately, I can't tell you exactly where, because the manufactures move them around with every different floor plan.
BUT, they are usually fairly close to the power bay, where your shore power cable is stored, on the inside of the coach. Power comes from the power bay up to the breaker box and then the 120v runs into the attic then down into the walls , so if you figure every cable run backwards to the power box, you'll have the area that it'll be in.

How many and what size breakers are there in the box you've found?
There should be a main, same size as your coaches service 50 amp? Then if 50 amp , 6 or 8 , 15 amp breakers for the various systems 1 for each A/C if you have 2, then the rest for the other outlets.
Have you turned every breaker on and off , tripped and reset every GFIC outlet you have found.
A second thought , what is your coach plugged into? Do you have 50 amp service, are you using any adaptors to plug the coach in ? could be one leg of the 50 amp cord isn't being powered at the adaptor.

you might find another fuse box behind a door under the foot of the bed in bedroom. also check your inverter for tripped breakers. the inverter will be in the left storage bay second from the rear and you will find two 15 amp breakers on the front of inverter

My motorhome is a 30 amp and I have a 30 amp service at my house and even when the tv was working you could turn all the breakers off and the tv would stay on ??

Hi Lance,
If your 2001 is wired similar to my 2000 Discovery, those circuits are powered through the inverter. The first thing to do is to check the breakers on the front of the inverter. If those aren't tripped, then dive in and check the voltage in/out of the inverter. On mine there are two breakers. One powers the microwave, the othe powers a circuit that runs up the passenger side of the coach and winds up at the TV.
