Last night my wall outlets went out on the majority of my kitchen. My residential fridge, microwave, fire place, recliners had no power. Now this morning the microwave and fireplace turn on but still no power at fridge and recliners and some wall outlets.. maybe a gfci tripped? But i can only find one in the restroom anyone know of any more??

you may want to make sure you are getting the correct voltage from the pedestal. do you have transfer switch for a generator? my breaker box is by my stairway on my 3931fb. check it there to make sure you are getting the correct voltage first.

What are you connected to? 50A? 30A? 20? Are you using an adapter/dogbone? I'm just wondering if you are getting power to only one leg so only half of your breaker box is getting power. Maybe a dead leg at the source or a faulty plug/adapter.

Open the flap and look at the trailer's circuit breaker box. The left side is one leg, the right is the other. If all the circuits on one side are out, you have a problem with one of the legs. See if the labels on said breaker correlate to the outage.


On a residential electrical panel, the breakers alternate legs so you can achieve 240V on two adjacent lugs. Most all RVs are 120V through out so they simplified things.

Here is a link to understanding both 30 amp and 50 amp service and how to test each.

https://www.myrv.us/electric/

In addition possible problems with park power it could also be a problem with your power cord or the connector where your power cord plugs into your trailer.

Do you have a surge protector or and EMS system? They can also tell you something about either the wiring at the source or whether you are receiving power on both legs. As stated the breaker panel is also a good place to start. At least there you could confirm whether or not you have power on both sides of the panel. If both sides are hot then you're back to where you started but will have eliminated source issues as the cause.

Also: Not a bad idea to pull the panel off and back (after disconnecting all power including the battery switch) and make sure all the wire connections and terminals are tight. I have at least four different times on different RVs had loose connections in the panel. Two of which could have burned the thing down.

I had the same issue about a month ago. I ended up finding the outlet that is on my coffee bar , the wire was loose in the outlet outlet. I ended up replacing that outlet With a residential Style outlet with a with a workbox from Lowe's. It's. It solved my problem !
