Hate to ask the obvious but is there power at the pedestal? We have camped at CGs with sketchy breakers and feeds and lost power to the point that the CG attendants had to move us to another site.

Check three places. 1st internal breakers, 2nd the power pedestal, 3rd, ask your neighbors, often, in CG with older power grids, 4 to 8 campsites will be connected to one master breaker, and they will trip with a lot of AC usage from everyone. Had this happen to the sites next to us this weekend. If that is the case, the CG has to flip the master breaker.

Fourth place to check. Don't forget the cutoff switch for the top. When the top is lowered, it cuts power to unit. A simple pressure switch; if something is accidentally placed on it, it will shut off power. On our 1007 it was rear street side of the unit, just above the main power cord, on the top edge of the roof. They are mounted at different locations on different pups, but they all have them.

Checked all 4 places and nothing

We even replaced the gfi outlet hoping that worked and nothing. Any other suggestions.

Similar Probleml

Bolt bonding the ground wire to the frame broke off. On my trailer it is located near the front of the trailer on the curbside under the skirting. You might want to look there.

At this point, I would be pulling out my multi-meter and checking for AC voltage at both ends of the power cord (requires opening the electrical bay, or pulling the panel out depending on location, and requires due caution). Don't forget to check for ground as well. (you should show 110-120V from hot to neutral, and to ground). Check at each junction point starting from the post through the mains and then individual breakers, and where you lose voltage is where your problem is at. Could be you took a spike and actually fried the main breaker, so even though it is on it is dead, but that is just one instance.

Note that all this presupposes that all of your AC loads are dead. Do you still have any 12V loads working (pump, most lights, fridge on 12V)?

On a trip last summer, we suddenly lost power while plugged in to shore power. The shore cable went into a junction box where it connects to a wire that goes to the converter. It was a loose connection in the junction box. I'm sure you might have a box where the shore cable connects to the interior electrics.
