No 120 lights or entertainment stuff working

[John Bagwell]

My 120 lights will not come or the TV, DVD , etc not coming on.  Electric outlets, microwave,   Ok.  
I must be missing breaker or something.  
Thanks for any help.   We are plugged in to 50 amp.

Check the GFIs.

You should have several circuits, each with its own GFI.  I have two circuits into the kitchen and two GFIs there.  I have a circuit on the off sink side of the livingroom which includes the bathroom and its GFI is in the bathroom.  Also a circuit or two(?) in the bedroom with their GFIs.  There is/are GFI/s in the basement too.

You don't say which coach model or year you have, John.  All I can do is say that has happened to me several times.  The front cap audio/video outlet(s) are on the same circuit as the dinette lights and outlets.  The circuit is via breaker number 6 on the 30 amp (inverter) panel.  In our '06 Monty, all 120v. breakers are in the cabinet over the toilet - the 50 amp Main box feeds the inverter which then feeds the 30 amp box, and the house Multiplex control and fuses are in that cabinet as well.  In our 30 amp "inverter" box the ground fault circuit interupters are built into the breakers and tested/reset there, rather than in the form of a GFCI outlet in each circuit.

GFI?   I haven't had my Beaver that long, still trying ti figure it out.  We're headed to The Rally in Memphis.  
Thanks for the help.  

[David T. Richelderfer]

GFI - Ground Fault Interrupt.  On each circuit you will find several duel, plug-in receptacles.  All but one receptacle will be the common, non-GFI type.  One receptacle will be a GFI receptacle.  Between the two plug in points on the front of the receptacle there will be two buttons - little square buttons on mine.  One button is to cause a power interruption, the other button is to reset it.  When a GFI has been interrupted, much like a breaker on a panel has been kicked into its interrupt state, the reset button will slightly protrude out and away from the flat face of the receptacle.  Simply push in the button, about 1/8th of an inch, to reset it.  If it will not hold the reset, then you likely have a short somewhere in the circuit, or have a device plugged into a receptacle on the circuit that is drawing too much electricity for the capacity of the GFI and its circuit.

John,
Your problem is probably a tripped GFI in the basement.

[size=14][/size]John,

On our 03 Contessa we also have a GFCI in the bathroom just below the sink.

One time in two years of ownership my front fold-down TV and all the receptacles and sconce lights on the left side of the living room would not work.  It was the GFI in the bathroom that had tripped out.  That GFI in the bathroom, as Mr. Schwalen stated, was found just under the countertop near the coach outerwall.  After resetting, the whole front, left side of the coach had power again.

[George H. Wall]

Have you checked to see if one of the 4 main breakers in the ceiling of the basement is tripped?  That would give these symptoms also.  Henry

[Dick Simonis]

I had this happen but it was one of the two breakers on the inverter itself.

[John Bagwell]

At rally in Memphis,  everyone has been very helpfully in trying to find the problem.  We have all been business and be looking into it again in a day or so..
Thanks for all the help.  Still looking.  

[Edward Buker]

John,

If you are looking for a tripped breaker and do not physically see one with the handle flipped that does not mean that they are set to conduct. Take each AC breaker, especially the ones in the ceiling of the bay in the small breaker box, and trip them on and off manually one time to be sure they are reset. Beyond that it usually is the GFIs as mentioned. If you cannot find a breaker or GFI that resets and restores your power then it is time to do some tracing with a meter.

Later Ed

[John Bagwell]

Thanks for everyone's help.  After checking breakers, inverter, and searching coach again.  Ron and Scott found the GFI that we had not found searching before.  It was up under the upper bathroom cabinet.
Thanks again. The Beavers are having a great time in Memphis.
