Shouldn't be an issue.

O well. I think you need to go back and check the breaker panel. It should have the breakers marked. Check and make sure you have voltage at the bottom of all the breakers. Look in side make sure all is in place and tight (Black, White, Ground).

Take your tester and measure hot to ground. Sounds like you lost the neutral somewhere along the line . If none of the receps. work in the trailer I would start outside with your power connection.

Take your time. Don't get frustrated. If it worked before it will work again. Just don't get hurt.

I think you need to go buy a tester so you can check everything out instead of guessing.

Most GFCI work with the light ON it means it's tripped. With Light off the power is on. If it won't reset you have an issue . Are you sure your receptacle your rV is plugged into is wired correctly with a good ground also ?

I had a similar issue when doing some work. Removed the GFCI, marked the outlet to make it easier to rewire. When I put it together I reversed the hot lead side. The GFCI would not reset. Took some head scratching since that outlet was hot, but nothing else. Finally, used an outlet tester w/GFCI test button to figure it out. Killed shore power, reversed the hot leads and BINGO!
Power in all sockets.

It's easy enough to reverse the leads on the same side. GFCI will not work if either side isn't correct.

You have it backwards, here is a link to Leviton which shows what the various status lights on g GFCI mean, hopefully the OP has a Leviton which is the popular device at the box stores.

X2 to all previous suggestions. It is possible that you got a bad GFIC out of the box. Happened to me, almost drove me nuts figuring that one out!

Here's a link for a voltmeter on sale from Sears. It's 55% off right now. I saw it on Slick Deals.

x2 on checking the recpticle on the outside of the trailer. I had the same issue as you. Had power to the trailer. But, when I took apart the recepticle outside found that the nutral wire clamp had broken.

Don't leave all of us hanging. Did you find the problem ?

Was just gonna ask the same question.

Guess we'll never know.
