While at a camp ground, I had too many things plugged in outside and I kept tripping the breaker at the camp ground. I turned some things off. Restored the shore power, now my outside 110 plugs do not work. Also I left for work and my wife went out to start the M/H and the batteries were dead, she also tried to start with the aux. switch but still nothing. All the time the inside 110 plug in s continue to work. The refrig is working and the clock on the microwqave is working. Any ideas as what the problem may be??

Maybe the GFCI has tripped, it's probably located in the bathroom.

Please excuse my ignorance, but what is the GFCI?

A GFCI looks like an electrical plug with 2 buttons between the outlets, one says 'test', the other 'reset', press reset. It may also be near the kitchen or converter depending on the floor plan.

And check your breakers.

Thanks Argosy, I was thinking that the inverter was bad, this is only our second R/V we kept the first for about a year and have had this Bounder for about a year. Thanks again
