No power to bedroom outlets
Hello Entegra Family,
My DW and I were enjoying ourselves at Hamlin Beach state park. It got a bit cold for my DW so I plugged the electric blanket for her and fell asleep. Sometime later, I awoke and the blanket was not on. I flipped the switch off/on and no luck. Tried a different switch in the bedroom, no luck. Then I remembered we were only plugged into 30amps and with the two AC running, the aqua hot, we must have exceeded the supply with our demand. I checked the the AQ was still on. I turned off the Acs which were just the fans running as it was cooler then the setting. I turned them off anyway. I checked the meter and we were still on AC and not inverter so the main didn't pop. I checked the breakers over the drivers side for the bedroom, the breaker was on so I tripped and reset. Still no power to the bedroom outlet. I checked the tripped/reset the GFI in the rear bath and in the basement on the passengers side.
Where else should I look to reset the bedroom outlets?

Check to see if a GFI popped (either bath or kitchen). May wish to check your power center to limit shore power to 30 amps, and it should shed in the future to prevent overloading circuits.

The two at the head of the bed were dead when we received our coach. If these are the ones that are dead on yours and you have a ceiling fan I can walk you through which wires are crossed.

Did you check for a blown fuse in the fuse panel?

I did not check the fuses as I was thinking it must be a breaker. I'll check that tomorrow.

I check the GFI in the kitchen. I did test the GFI in the rear bath.

There are no fuses on the high voltage circuits, and mine does not have a GFI for the bedroom outlets. Since it is the two beside the bed I recommend starting at the metal junction box that is under the bed on the rearward side. There are two boxes on mine and the wiring that feed said outlets are fed from the one elevated, not the one on the floor. If you have a power tester pen this will be easy to trace out.

Have the outlets worked before, or was this the first time they had been used? Did you try the blanket in a known working outlet? Just going for the easy things first

I think there is one more GFI plug in the basement near the thermostat.... If it's anything like my house, I have a GFI plug in my garage that controls my master bathroom plugs upstairs. Go Figure !!

Suspect list: GFCI outlets often control other outlets
Breakers (Of course you checked those)
INVERTER, if you have an inverter it may power those outlets, Inverters have sub panels, these may be incorporated into the inverter itself, or may be "Remote" as mine is. (A 2nd breaker box)
You were running 2 Air Conditioners AND a water heater on 30 amps?
Did not think that was possible.

Good news; I have power back to the outlets. Puzzled news; not sure what I did to get it back. I did trip the GFI in the half bath and when I did, I found that also controls the rear bath outlet. I did reset the breaker above the drivers seat that reads "bedroom". I did that before and no luck but this time it worked.
The only difference is this time when I flipped the breaker off, I tested the outlet (gave it time) and the previous breaker reset was a quick off/on. Maybe that's the difference. Hmmm.
