120v Outlets Not Working.
I bought a new JayFlight 23MB on Saturday, I'm in the process of shaking it down to see what does and does not work.
Both of the outdoor, the vanity, rear storage area, and lower bunk 120 volt outlets are dead. The all other ones work fine. I don't have a wiring diagram.
I have reset the breakers, is there anything else to check. Are all these on a common breaker?
Thanks!
Duncan

Look for a GFCI plug in. Look at the outside one to make sure it hasn't tripped. It's happened to me before

It will be the bathroom receptacle with the GFI and yes they are all connected together.

It would make sense that the outside outlets would be on the GFI, and the one at the vanity has the GFI sticker. Unfortunately, the GFI in the kitchen works. I tripped it and reset it. I wonder if the connection to daisy chain the other outlets is bad. I don't want to tear into anything, being that its 3 days old.
Thanks for the ideas.

I'd at least take a peak at the back of the kitchen GFI to see if a connection is loose. Also is there another GFI outlet?

From your original post it sounds like you have two master outlets. Keep looking for the second one.

I have crawled through out the trailer. It's only 23 feet. I can't find a second GFI outlet. The only one is next to the sink. Tomorrow I'll look behind that GFI and see what the wiring looks like.

I had a similar issue I couldn't find the GFCI it was the bathroom outlet needed to be reset. Why the bathroom circuit is on the outside and storage doesn't make much sense to me, but I digress...

I just had another look. There is no outlet in the bathroom, but there is one at the sink outside, with a GFI protected sticker. I assume it is wired to the GIF outlet next to the sink. That outlet works, but may not be daisy chained to the other outlets.

Found it. Both the protected black and white wires were not connected behind the GFI outlet. The screws were all the was out. The feed wires were connected, but I put two more turns on the screws to snug them up. Now I'm going to check the rest of the sockets. Both the electrician and the QC person were slacking.
Thanks for the help.
So far everything else seems to work. Today I'll fire up the hot water on LP and see how that goes.

Glad you found it. While you are at it. Fire up the oven and furnace and run them for atleast a half hour to burn off any manufacturing oils. Have all the windows open as it can really stink.

Glad you found the problem and didn't have to make a trip to the dealer. I would however fire off an "E" mail to JAYCO using the customer service contact page which would include the vin#, telling them what you found. This is the kind of stuff they need to know about.
