Turning off 120-volt wall plugs, 2020 Jayco Precept 31UL

Hi,

First time post, so please let me know if there's an etiquette I'm missing.

Ref: 2020 Jayco Precept 31UL

Is it possible, via the breakers or other means, to turn off the 120-volt wall plugs while leaving the converter and residential fridge (electric only) running?

I tried flipping various breakers but I couldn't find one for the plugs, which just leaves the main breaker, which I think would shut off the fridge and converter.

I need to keep the house batteries charged and the fridge cold; I don't care about the rest of the 120-volt systems. If the fridge runs off the inverter instead of the mains, that's just fine.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

WHY? There is no draw unless something is plugged into them.

Essentially, I've got a wireless network running with multiple devices that I want to shut down without having to unplug them all one-by-one.

They should be on one separate from the fridge and converter. Try pushing the test button on the ground fault receptacle to see if that shuts them off.

We use a bunch of these for various lights and Christmas decorations, like the candle lights in every window in the house. They should work for what you want to do, without disturbing the electrical system.

I'll give that a shot next time I'm down to it. I might have missed the right breaker, but I was monitoring a couple of different plugs at the same time and I couldn't find one that worked.

I'll look into that, thank you. At least one of the plugs might be tight for that, but I might be able to relocate that device.

Plug a radio into an outlet. Flip breakers off until radio goes off. Leave breaker off. Simple.

"Plug a radio into an outlet. Flip breakers off until radio goes off. Leave breaker off. Simple."

Did that, in fact shut off ALL the breakers including the 50 amp main yet the radio played on. Only thing that works is turning the inverter off.

I am going to get me some of them small number label stick on sheets that the electricians use, and take time to label my outlets on the next trip. Would be nice to have everything labeled, instead of having to guess.
