Suddenly no 120v power to Kitchen Side Outlets

[cdisney]

Good afternoon:

I/we sincerely appreciate all of your suggestion to solve the lack of electricity in my RV. The solution was a switch was turned off.

Again, thank you for all of your suggestions!

Stay Safe!

I'll remove the existing one and see if I can get it working again. If not, then amazon here I come.
I'm assuming I have to pull the negative cables off the house batteries and unplug shore power to remove the cutoff dial without electrifying myself?

Pull the negatives off both banks of batteries. IF the batteries get combined isolating just the house batteries is not enough. Safety first. And take pictures always before removing anything.

I pm'd you a link to Amazon for the switch.

Happens to all of us that will admit it.

Can you post or pm me as well the link to that switch. .

I won’t be near my files for another week and was looking for the model number.

Hello all,

Here is a very crude drawing of the wiring path for the front tv/kitchen GFI feed from the 120 breaker panel.
It feeds from the breaker up into the ceiling and all the way to the front cap. From there it goes first to the passenger side front cabinet then goes directly behind the TV and into the TV lockout junction box/outlet. Then it comes out of the TV lockout box and feeds two more front cap outlets. From the driver side front cabinet outlet, the feed goes back into the ceiling all the way back to the shower room. From there it goes down the passenger side wall behind the shower surround and into the two j-boxes in the plumbing chase. Those two j-boxes feed to the 5 kitchen outlets and a separate breaker feed for the microwave.
I hope this can help someone someday who's chasing wiring paths and dead outlets.

It didn't attach...hopefully this is it.

I don't see a drawing but your description seems correct , can't imagine
why Monaco routed the wire that way though .

Ok I see it now

Ray,

I had not even considered that as route until you and Kenwyatt had mentioned that as a possibility.
If I had known that early on, I probably would have found the problem much sooner.

The drawing is very good info! I have some speculative ideas as to why they did it this way, and they're linked to the manufacturing process... but the 'why' is not important. KNOWING what was done is far, far better

Thanks for pursuing this problem all the way to a solution and keeping the forum abreast of the methods used. Hopefully this will save another forum member the hours you spent.

I discovered a bunch of electrical outlets running along the kitchen side now have no power. It's like something tripped.
I checked all breakers/GFI's in the breaker box panels in the bedroom. I flipped and reset them but no change. Including the L1 and L2 inverter breakers.
There is one little breaker reset button on the front of xantrex inverter but it's not tripped.
Are there any other breakers on the inverter that are not easily seen and accessed?
The microwave has power and so do both a/c units and the fridge.
I disconnected shore power and turned on the inverter. No change to those outlets.
What or where else can I check?

Sorry to jump in on your post Irishguy ,
But I cannot figure out how to post my problem ,🤔
Which is very similar to yours , I have a 2001 FleetWood SouthWind 35r and my AC 119 power to the Booth receptacle & one in the front cargo bay have a loose neutral (Somewhere) in the coach is a j box
That probably contains the problem loose wire so does anyone know where that box might be 🧐. Thank You , Rats52

[RamiDav]

Rats52 , Have you looked inside each receptacle ? That's where Irishguy found
the junction .

To start a new thread look at the list top left there is a box [ New Thread ]
However will get more help from the Fleetwood Forum .
Look at Owners Forums for Fleetwood .

Good luck

Ray

Rats,
As you can see I'm no expert. It seems finding j-boxes can be no easy task.
If you have a slide you can look in the floor cabinet spaces for hidden j-boxes in the plumbing chase. They can also be under fridges and beds. Some are even in basement compartments. You may find them behind your breaker panel.
If you dropped a neutral wire it might be in an outlet that is daisy chained with other outlets on the same circuit.
