Electrical Problem Solved

FYI. We just returned for our third outing with the new 321 RSTS. When we arrived at the CG, got all leveled and set up. Kitty flipped the ceiling fan switch and nothing. It had worked on the previous outing. I flipped the switch, still nothing. I then checked the power panel (breaker box) all was OK.
Later, Kitty plugged the hair dryer into the bathroom socket and nothing. I plugged a kitchen mixer into that socket to test, and nothing. We surmised that something has come loose in the wiring, and we needed to make an appointment with the dealer to have things checked.
A couple days later, I entered the RV and noticed the ground fault electrical socket’s little red light was glowing. (Located on the dinette side of the island) I reset it, and guess what? The ceiling fan and the socket in the bathroom started working. Who would have guessed they both are piggy backed on that ground fault socket on the island? They are all nowhere near each other. I had thought it was strange that the electrical socket in the bathroom is not a ground fault socket being that close to a water source.

Put this down in the back of your mind in case an electrical device in your RV is not working, check all the ground fault sockets.

Glad you got it solved.

Nearly every outlet in you camper is gfi protected. 1st outlet has the gfi, and others are daisy chained off of it. My experience the microwave and ac circuits are not gfi protected.
