Receptacles on one side of 5th wheel not working??

I forget.. was the plug you used the GFCI or one down the line? If its NOT the same as the GFCI, I would say that that plug is either bad, or you have a loose wire on it.

Before you tear into anymore recepticals, make absolutely sure you hooked up the new GFCI the same way you unhooked the old one. Accidents happen.

I fixed it!

Not being an electrician, I thought that the load line was the power line, so I put it on upside down. Then thought all night about it, and decided to go back to the instructions where I discovered I had the four wires upside down. Turned them around...and voila. Electricity is back. Potential lesson learned?? No extension cord in GFCI receptacle, as I think that's what screwed this up.

Naw.. they just go bad. Constant plugging/unplugging of any receptacle will also cause it to go bad..

Glad you fixed it!
