No 120v power to plugs

[Flintee]

We have a 2007 Jay Flight 28 RLS. We have no power to any of the 120 volt plug ins when hooked to 30 amp shore power. Tried resetting every breaker I could find. Found a blown 30 amp fuse at the battery box. Replced it along with a new battery but still no power to plug ins. 12 volt system seems ok.
Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like possibly a bad breaker or wire came loose from the breaker.

Are your gfi recepts tripped? 12v battery and fuse do not influence your 120. Do you have power into unit from shore power source ?

[Flintee]

I think shore power is OK. Breakers have all been reset several times. Replaced GFI just in case
Still no power to plugs

[bedrck46]

where are you getting the shore power from. If in a campground check the supply to see if the breaker was turned off The campground that I normally go to will turn off breakers when not in use. If your at home and connected to a 30 amp power outlet then check to see if you have voltage at the connector

No power to A/C unit and fridge only on battery and propane

[Flintee]

Campground and they have reset their main breaker and I have done the breaker on the post as well

[Iraqvet05]

No power to A/C also? I suspect the shore power is the problem. Anyone around handy with a multimeter that can check?

[Flintee]

Tried plugging in to neighbours post that was working and no go for us

[Flintee]

Would a blown converter cause this?

[Old Blue]

Doesnt sound to me that you are getting power at the campground post I would start there. didnt see your reply about neighbours post. it could be a bad main breaker in the trailer or maybe the converter that is where your power comes into.

[bedrck46]

you need to check your power cord sounds like a open somewhere.

nice tester to have about 30.00 for the fluke brand and they do come in handy

[arkhillbilly]

Yes. Pull it, and look for fuses not exposed in front opening. I have read others pointing out that their unit had a fuse or two on side or back of converter.

[Flintee]

K, thanks all. I will try to pull it out and check further. Will try to find the voltage checker also.
Tomorrow is another day...

Lowes or home depot

[Flintee]

Thanks

[Flintee]

Well problem solved. Removed breaker panel and checked for hidden fuses or breakers, there were none.
A friendly neighbour camper came over and suggested a loose connection where main line hooks in under table by water pump, worth a try right and sure enough wiggled wire and radio started playing. Funny thing was tester showed power at all plugs and wires all along, guess just not enough to run anything.
Anyway thanks to all for your ideas.
Happy Camping to all.

Interstingly I bought a tester similar to this one and it showed power at poat, cable, breaker box and all plugs but still no power to run anything. Found loose connection in box where shore line enters trailer. All working now but curious why tester showed current, any thoughts?

[norty1]

The tester measures voltage not current. A loose connection will pass enough current to give a indication but will not carry enough current to work properly.

Some testers, including the non-contact Fluke unit, are good for detecting the 120 volt line or "hot" wire power. To complete a circuit you need the zero volt neutral wire (grounded conductor) to be intact. If the neutral has a bad connection (open) then you will show "power" to the wires, but there will not be a completed circuit.

One clue is to hold a non-contact field voltage detector to both the black and the white wire at the receptacle with a lamp plugged in and turned on. The black wire should show voltage. The white wire should not. If the voltage detector indicates power on a white neutral wire (grounded conductor) then you should suspect a poor neutral connection somewhere in the system.

Just my 2 pennies.
