A.C. Power problem.

I have a 2000 bounder just bought. It's plugged into a reliable 30 amp source, the a.c. and frig. are running fine but the a.c. outlets are not powered up. You can plug in a fan and the blade will barely move, like it has a miniscule of power. Anyone have any ideas, I didn't get any books or diagrams with this thing. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

- check the breaker panel and make sure none of them have tripped.
- does the fan do the same thing on ALL of the AC outlets?
- is the fan designed to work on 120v?
- does the fan work inside your sticks and bricks home?

Does the fan work at the pedestal?

Look for a tripped GFCI outlet. They often protect more then one outlet.

It shouldn't let any power pass thru but who knows.

Aside from (tripped/ defective GFCI) leaving dead receptacles, I think of a few other potentials: 1) Do you have proper tension when you plug in, or is it loose? (I had the back pop off one, and electrical guts pushed out the back); 2) Is there possibly also an INVERTER (that is turned OFF?) that feeds those specific receptacles.
