Electrical Outlets in Luggage Storage

Electrical outlets in my Pace Arrow luggage compartments are not working. Bought motorhome few months ago and never tried outlets until now. All other outlets are working and GFI is not tripped in bathroom. No circuit breakers tripped either. Anyone have an idea if there is a hidden switch somewhere??

You probably have another GFCI somewhere in the basement or wet bay area that controls all of those circuits. Exterior outlets are required to be GFI controlled.

You are not saying what year Pace Arrow (your signature line is blank).

Look around, you probably have a tripped GFI hidden in one of the compartments.

Thank you, good suggestion. Updated my signature.

I’ll look again for a hidden GFI. Only one I have found so far is in bathroom.

You have another GFI in the kitchen area. Look under the over head cabinets, close to the coffee maker.

Also, look on the ceiling of one of the bins for another GFI. I have one right beside another outlet on the bins ceiling. You may find one in the wet bay, also. Manufacturers like to put one there so you can add a heat source to prevent freezing in cold weather.

First thing first, pull the outlet and check for power, they do go bad. then check the ac panel, bad breaker.

My fleetwood Bounder has a utility switch on the dash that has to be on to activate some of the lights. Also, the switch just inside the door that says cargo lights.

All signs points to GFI in kitchen o bathroom.
Check those areas first.
Always start from simple to tough.
