plug ins in bays

In my 1998 U320 passenger side, front two bays, (behind the fuel and propane bay) there are plug ins located in both bays.
Can anyone help me out in locating the breakers for those plug in boxes as I want to re-locate one for a TV plug in.
Any help would be appreciated.

They should be on the bedside on the inverter 110 volt breaker box.  The problem might be a tripped ground fault plug located  elsewhere like the bathroom.

I think you will find the bay outlet is on the inverter panel and likely also controlled by the bath GFCI.

I am not sure where the inverter panel you say is...Are you refering to the heart freedom control panel inside the coach?
I am looking to have the breaker turned OFF so I can undo the ac wiring and relocate the plug.  Checked today and the breaker is not on the bed pedestal. Attached is a pic of the plug I would like to "power down" so I dont roast myself when I relocate it.

Peter,

On our  coach that receptacle is fed off the #5 breaker in the small breaker panel (inverter panel) on the foot of the bed. If you have your A-2700 print check it as our breakers are poorly labeled on the cover.

Peter, Like Mike, Ours is at the foot of the bed. As i enter the bedroom. Ours is the left most breaker panel. There is a double "main' breaker at the top. (this is to remain on) The next one down activates the circuit that powers the TV equipment. Next one down powers the circuit that our microwave is on. The last one turns on the circuits that lead to the bay and the remaining outlets in the coach.

I have a plug in voltage monitor in the wet bay. First time I plugged it in, No power. That is when I found the connection with the lowest breaker on that bedroom panel. I use that panel quite a bit. I like to turn off those three lower breakers before switching power from shore to inverter or genset to stop any voltage spikes.

You could just unplug the coach or turn off the main breaker.

Also make sure generator auto start and inverter are turned off

Thanks to all for your info. Found THIS plug was directly power from the inverter, not the breaker #5.  I suspect this plug was an addition after the coach was built. Solved this by turning off the inverter and the  master switch.

Peter,

Thanks for the followup and good sleuth work on your part.  It is interesting the changes that are made by multiple owners over the twenty plus years of these coaches.
