I have a prestige 29mvp and mine are located at the foot of the bed. All the electrical is under the bed as well.

I've got a question along this same line. Got a 2020 Greyhawk Prestige 30XP and the breakers are in the same place. I'm in Michigan and was sitting in it for 2 hours yesterday running the generator, load provided by 1500 watt electric heater, and started trying to find the gfci outlets. None in the bathroom. I know them in my house with the test button but none like that I could find. Any suggestions?

Ok. One in the cupboard for microwave, one in bottom of same cupboard, one in tower on counter, one near floor under thermostat, one under dinette. Does it have a test button like in my house? Got 6 inches of snow last night and still snowing so I won't be going back to check it today. Thanks.

Microwave would have its own circuit - none-gfci

The circuit breaker may also be GFCI so the reset/test may be located at the breaker panel rather than the outlet.

Thanks, I will take a look at it after I plow a path to it. Snowing hard and 14 degrees here now. Hopefully last winter in Michigan.

^^This^^

DW tripped a breaker with her hair dryer. I went looking for GFCI outlet; none to be found. Went to the breaker panel to find at least one GFCI breaker. Tried to reset it, and it wouldn't reset. After scratching my head for a moment, I realized other stuff was off too; the post breaker had tripped.

The GFCI breaker in your box will not reset unless the circuit is powered. Went out and flipped on the post breaker (after switching to 50A outlet), went back in and reset the GFCI, and we were back in business.

I was thoroughly confused the first time I went to reset a GFCI outlet and couldn't find a single one in my rig. Turns out there are none to be found; all those circuits are protected at the breaker... who knew...?

I have tripped that exact same 30A breaker on that exact same post 3 separate times now. You'd think I'd learn. And truthfully, I did. I ALWAYS adapt up to 50A on that post now, and no problems since.

It seems to me a lot of circuit overload problems are caused by Jayco engineering.

There are three user-available 120V circuits in my 29MV.

One circuit feeds the television outlets (through the inverter).

One circuit feeds the outlets on either side of the bed.

The third breaker feeds the AC side of the fridge and then ALL the rest of the outlets through the GFCI outlet in the bathroom.

So it's easy to see why this third circuit is getting popped by hair dryer/coffee maker/toaster/portable heater/etc..
There is measurable voltage drop at the last outlet in the string (under the kitchen cabinet) when a load is put on it..

I think they changed some of these circuits, depending on year. My 2020 29MV has a separate circuit for refer and another separate circuit for microwave. Bedroom outlets, TVs, and two outlets near the dinette are on another circuit (also powered by inverter). Bath, kitchen counter, and exterior outlets are on the last (GFCI) circuit. It's good to know which outlets are on the same circuit since a hairdryer or heater running on any of them will probably not allow anything else to run on that circuit. Jayco will send the schematics showing which outlets go to which breaker if you ask.

Circuit breaker panel

I have a 2018 and the panel is at the end of the bed facing the closet doors.

There are two electrical panels at the foot of the bed on my Greyhawk 29MVP. Right one is fuses, left is circuit breakers. Top CB is GFCI 15A, controls AC outlets in bathroom, overhead sofa & end of kitchen counter
