Front 1/2 of Monaco - No AC Power

Woke up with rear of Monaco Dip okay - AC, electrical fine.

Front 1/2 of coach - no refigerator, tv or outlets working. Oddly the microwave does work. Have checked fuses and breakers to no avail.

If you have any ideas, I would sure appreciate them.

Thank you

*** Update*** - I usually panic and the first thing I think of is to write and ask for help. A short time after posting, I was continuing my troubleshooting and found the GCFI in the bathroom had tripped. Reset and everything is back to normal. Odd it only took out 1/2 the RV.

Check the breakers on the Inverter. If those are OK, if you are on a 50-amp site, you may have lost one leg of that. What you are seeing sounds like it has to be the Inverter or one half a 50-amp leg that is the problem. Have you fired up the generator to see if it restores power? If it does not, then it is either the Inverter or your transfer switch failing.

That's because that half of your coach wiring circuit all feeds from the one GFI outlet. The rest of your coach must feed off a different outlet. Common practice in RV wiring.

If the genset is adequate to power both AC units, then the perhaps you have an EMS that is shedding one of the units for some reason known only to it. If your Genset produces 240AC then maybe one of it's two breakers (usually located on the genset) have popped.

Just for referrance Las Vegas - My second GFI is the heater plug outside in the rear behind the two doors--I know this because last week I had power only in half of My Diplomat and i went nuts looking at breakers and such till I stumbled into the second GFI that in my manual says its in the bottom bays!!!! Just thought I might be able to help out for the future
