'95 U-240 AC Breakers

I plugged it what turned out to be a bad power strip and popped the GFI feeding the coach 15A.
I made sure everything was disconnected, reset the GFI and it held. When I went to plug a small (500W) heater, that had been working, into the AC by the stove.....no power. Checked the other plugs....same. Reset all the breakers under the Foot of the bed......still no power.  Started the genny, still no power at the AC plugs. Is there another breaker that feeds the AC plugs inside the coach?
I searched for AC Breaker and found a tread where someone had mentioned that there might be breakers in front of the Co-Pilot, behind the panel. Also there are resetable breakers in one of the basement storage bin. I thought they were 12v. Any ideas. I figure it MUST be a breaker Ive missed as it all used to work. Getting rid of that power strip!

First thing I would do is check the GFCI in the bathroom that you reset to see if it actually reset. If that plug/GFCI has went bad it will cause all kinds of problems.  The breakers that are in the dash and basement are 12VDC so don't waste brain cells in that area.

Good Idea. I reset the GFI feeding the entire coach, but if the plugs are all wired together then one GFI would kill all of them.
Thanks

If you have a factory installed inverter/charger, it is quite possible that the tripped breaker is on the inverter itself.

Check and reset the breaker on the outside of the inverter/charger.

This may be too obvious, but just a thought...are you sure that you have power to the coach and didn't also trip something "upstream"?  Can you hear the ATS clunk if you unplug and plug it back in?

You have me confused which is not hard to do these days.  In reading your first post I get the feeling you tripped the gfi that was outside the coach that was feeding the coach.  You then reset that GFI.  As Mike has said you also have a GFI in the bathroom. Is that tripped?  Have you reset that plug?  If so what happens when you press the test button on the bathroom gfi?

Problem solved :)
The GFI in the bathroom had tripped as well as the GFI powering the coach (15A)
I did not know that there was a breaker in the OEM in inverter, but it makes sense.
Resetting the House GFI then the Coach Bathroom GFI fixed the problem.
Thanks for the help :)
