I have lost power to the three ac outlets in the galley(left side of coach), plus the one in the water bay on the left side. Can't find any tripped cb's. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike
Mike,
Check/reset your GFI's.
Bathroom GFI has tripped.
There is one gfi on the circuit in the bathroom; that is for the right side of the coach. My problem is on the left side, and there is no gfi on those outlets.

Mike, outlets are usually daisy-chained. What other outlets are on that circuit? If you don't have a wiring diagram handy, think about how you would run the wires from one outlet to the next to the next. Figure out which outlet is the last one working. Turn the breaker OFF, then text the outlet to be sure it is dead. Pull it out and see if there is a wire that has come loose.
Old timers trick: Plug a vacuum sweeper in to the last outlet. Turn it on. Then go toggle your appropriate breaker. Work your way around with the vacuum plug to all the outlets.
Oh, by the way--first plug the vacuum into a working outlet and turn the vacuum on---then on to the malfunctioning outlets. This way you know the vacuum is turned on.
The kitchen outlets should be protected
somehow by a GFCI outlet, given their proximity to water.
Check the unusual locations - under the sink, the brown/black outlets in the side of cabinets, etc.
Also - do other things plugged into outlets that are powered by the inverter work or are they out, too?
Problem solved.
The line that powers the outlets on the left side of my coach is 'piggy-backed' via the outlet onto the line that powers that outlet in the manifold bay on the right side. As I was detailing those bays this morning, I had removed the cover for the manifold which has that outlet installed on it. As I was manipulating that cover back in place, those piggy-backed wires had lost its connection to the hot line, which is connected to the gfi circuit in the bathroom and powers right side of coach outlets.
