RV Mechanic: Randall, RVIA Certification replied 3 years ago

Good morning! Thank you for bringing your question to us here at Just Answer. I have an RV repair facility and work on these for a living and I fully understand the frustration you have when things are not working as they should. I am sorry to hear that you are having problems with your electrical system.

The most common cause of this is the use of an adapter on the shore cord OR the breaker on the inverter/charger needs to be reset OR a GFCI outlet has tripped. There are usually one or two of these. One in the bathroom area and one in the kitchen sink area. Check those things first and then get back to me as all follow ups are included in our one time fee. No time limit. Thanks! Randall in RV

When you use an adapter on a 50 amp cord you lose half the circuits in your coach. If you have an inverter/charger then it may be a breaker tripped on that. Check those. Or one of the GFCI outlets that contro several other plugs. It has to have AC power to it in order to reset. And if the thing that tripped it in the first place is still plugged in then it won't reset. Electric heater and other things like electric skillets and coffee pots are the main causes of this.
