JAYCO Pinnacle Electrical Problem
The 120v in the front portion of my Pinnacle just quit. The fridge, TV, heater, Aircon does not work. However, the Microwave and rear bedroom aircon does work. I have checked all the fuses, breakers, and GFI. Any suggestions, please.

When you checked the breakers, did you turn them off first, then back on? If one trips, you can't just push it to the "on" side without turning it "off" first. Just a first thought.

The trailer is wired into two circuits and there has been a loss of an incoming circuit.
Is the problem the same on generator power?

Pedestal or wherever the trailer is connected to electrical service. Reset those breakers.

Thank you. I have tried 4 different circuits with the same results. Totally frustrated.

It may be time to get out the volt meter or call an electrician.
There may be an internal breaker, wiring, transfer switch, cord, or other failure not easily identified.

Also when you are using a 50 to 30 adaptor only one a/c and maybe coffee maker or microwave or water heater on electric because with the fridge and air conditioner your pushing the 30 amp
