Ghost electrical problem 2016 Pinnacle
No power in the coach. Showing power to the coach, no breakers tripped, little green light inside power pannel is steady, there's power to all the usb connections but nothing else. Working one minute and upon return an hour later nothing. Any thoughts?

Probably something simple. USB is normally connected to the 12v system, just means your batteries have power.
How about a breaker suppling power to power cable (in house).
My extension cords have a little light to show if it has power.
Unplug and plug the shore power again to make sure it’s not a bad connection.
Do you have a Surge/EMS that be be detecting a fault of some sort? Try getting power from a different power plug in the house.

Yes I've a surge protector and it shows 120v both lines and green. A few days ago we had a similar issue when turningthe a/c on all the power went out without popping any breakers. Did the plug and unplug main line and it came back on. -- this time nada

Do you have a geny or geny prep? If yes could be bad transfer switch. Also surge could be bad, try bypassing it.

Is there a separate breaker for the main power other than the one in the main panel?

If your surge is also a EMS, it could show 120 volts, but have an issue with a neutral connection and not allowing that 120 volts to continue through. Does it blink other codes like “E” and then a number? If so, check the number code with your users manual.

You have to open transfer switch and re wire for that. I meant bypass surge protector.

Yes I already removed the surge protector thinking it was the culprit but no luck

Please remember if you are going to work on transfer switch to unplug the camper.

I would start with all the ground connections. Friend of mine has his power cable stolen last winter. When he replaced it, he didn't get the neutral lug as tight as he thought. Couple days later he lost all power until we tightened up the lug and it's been fine since.

Transfer Switch
I can't seem to find the transfer switch? Any ideas? Underneath? Behind breaker panel? Where the generator would go?

Probably behind the back wall of the front storage compartment.

Check all connections in your power center, I had one loose feed wire on the main breaker, caused similar issues.
