The better half plugged the vacuum into the 110V plug under the make-up mirror in the bedroom and we lost power in that plug. We have tested all other 110V plugs in the bedroom and bath as well as the front which drawings say are on the same #1 circuit. All other plugs in coach are fine. We have disassembled the plug and confirmed there is no power on the Romex coming into the plug. Is there another breaker somewhere for this particular plug that I'm not aware of? Any thoughts would be appreciated because my better half isn't happy without her power for her hair drier etc.!
Bill, I'm sure in time you may think of these.. gfi reset, turn off and turn - on breaker... I actually had to replace an outlet because the crimp failed when.. A vacuum plug was put in , not for sure if it was the size of plug or what..do the little things first..
Find a GFCI outlet and press the reset button. Turn off and then back on each breaker on the INVERTER sub panel.
There could be a GFI in the cabinet over the microwave.
Oh.. one other thing I found, if we used a non-invverter outlet we had NO problems.. on our coach they are a bone color faceplate and outlet not the dark color.
Barry what is it about turning the breakers on - off as we discussed that corrects the issue?
Turning a working breaker off & on does not do anything. It was a simple resolution to a tripped breaker, as most tripped breakers look like they are on. So if one thinks a tripped breaker is on, they may not reset it. And I guess that if a breaker has an internal problem, maybe a reset can temporarily clear it up. We carry spare breakers. We also changed all our non-inverter outlets to a colored plate. Our outlets are also marked if on line-1 or line-2, which helps us if we are plugged into two campground outlets with our 'cheater' connector or if a campground has problematic electricity. Inverter panel is often protected by a breaker on the charger/inverter. And if your coach has two transfer switches, the sub-panel is protected by a breaker in the main breaker panel.
Well, If you don't have a broken breaker, I had a similar issue and it was the GFCI which with my 96 was in the bath next to the toilet. Best of Travels.
We had a problem like this on our sob. It turned out to be a poor stab-in connection at the upstream outlet.

Bill, Did you find the problem? What was the cure?
