2021 377RLBH. Power to all 3 TVs, Fridge, Main A/C, Ceiling fan, all outlets in main cabin, outlet above the floor in master bedroom ALL DEAD. GFCI in the bathroom has power. The breakers and fuses all work, we have reset, everything…ANY ANSWERS OR SUGGESTIONS PLEEEEEASE!

More information would be helpful. Plugged into shore power or running on generator? 30 or 50amp power? Was everything working, then suddenly went dead? Do you still have 12 power….bathroom fan working? Inquiring minds want to know….

Bathroom fan still works. We are on direct power 50 amp. Yes the appliances/other items were working just fine and went dead at 3am today.

Check the connections in fhe breaker panel. Do you have a geny or geny prep? Check the connections in the transfer switch. Did you check the breaker on the post? One side may have tripped, been known to happen.

I am assuming you have 50 amp service. Since you have at least 1 outlet live that most likely means one leg of your 50 amp supply is getting in. If you lost the other leg that would explain the loss of power to certain outlets.

If you have a generator, fire it up and see if you now have power to those outlets. If so that would mean you lost 1/2 of the power coming in meaning 1 leg is open for whatever reason.

With 50 amp service your rig is supplied with 2 separate 120 volt legs of power. Each leg will typically power half of your rig. One AC will be on one leg and the other AC will be on the other.

If you are losing power coming in from a 50 amp power cord the problem could be in a number of areas:

1. Power outlet lost a leg (try resetting both breakers on the outlet feeding the rig).

2. Poor connection where the cord plugs into the socket. If you have an adapter try plugging your rig into a standard 120 volt outlet. This will tie both legs that feed your rig together and may point you in the right direction.

3. Loose connection in the transfer switch. Somewhat common. WITH NO POWER APPLIED open up the cover of the transfer switch and tighten all connections.

A voltmeter is your best friend here but should only be used if you are comfortable measuring 120 volts. These can be lethal voltages to be poking around in so don't do it unless you know what you are doing. The transfer switch would be the first area to measure as it would verify that all power is coming in.

Nice job Jim, I think you covered all the basics well. I hope they read it.

Where is the 2nd breaker box?????

[Randyman69357]

At the pedestal where you have your cord plugged in. If at your house, then in your breaker panel there is a breaker specifically for that outlet. Try snapping them off and then back on to make sure one hasn’t tripped.
