Gfi plug

[Capt. Keith]

I've learned alot from this forum over the years just reading .I have a problem on my 2003 Beaver Santeim . I cant find where the power should be coming from going to the GFI over the bedroom sink , all help appreciated .

I have GFIC breakers in my inverter subpanel. You might check there. All outlets are daisy chained on 2 of the breakers. The bedroom/bedroom sink/half bath/and basement circuits are all on the same breaker.

Is it actual GFCI or marked as GFCI. If marked than is off load side of a GFCI usually closer to the breaker panel than the marked outlet.

yes this helps, the wire from GFI goes down to inverter which has 2-20 amp breakers on it . Now i assume ( i hate to do that ) that i need to run generator or plug into the grid and see if i have 110 there . thanks

There are two kinds of inverters. Those that include a transfer switch, and those that don't. I assume yours has a transfer switch built in. Post make and model of inverter for better advice.

An inverter/converter with transfer switch will pass through 120 volts from shore power or generator when power is available.

It will invert 12 volt DC battery power to 120 volt AC power when shore power is not available.

What exactly is your issue. Assuming the RV has a GFCI outlet that is not powered means the source 120 volts is not available.

Of course the two breakers on the inverter are important. Switch them "OFF" and then back "ON".

Check for other breakers on the inverter. There may be other safety devices. Post make and model of inverter for better advice.

The inverter will have two inputs. The 12 volt DC side will have a large capacity fuse or DC circuit breaker. It will probably be within two feet of the battery bank.

The 120 volt AC will have a circuit breaker in the main breaker panel. It may be a 30 amp branch breaker. Switch it "OFF" and back "ON".

There are other possibilities. Please post make and model of inverter, and converter/charger if not combined into the inverter.

Post a picture of the main breaker panel, the inverter, and the GFCI outlet connections for better advice.

Problem solved . I removed panel on front of inverter to ck wiring and found loose connections so removed all connections cleaned and reinstalled , works great .
Thanks again
