Outlets quit

[belgian]

Took our 2010 Avalanche out for 1st time this year. Everything was working great until the outlets quit. They worked the 1st day then quit this morning. We have a bunkhouse and did find that the 2 on the back wall are still functioning. Checked all fuses and breakers. Everything else seems to be functioning fine.

Did you check the gfi plugs? One is in the bathroom and if there is a second look in the kitchen or outside. Push the test and then reset.

[belgian]

Yep. Have one by sink in bedroom. If there is another one I don know where it would be. I'll keep looking. Owned his new and don't remember seeing another.
Thanks.

Was sitting here having an adult beverage and trying to enjoy the evening but, keep thinking about the outlet problem. Wife says I can get OCD on these types of thins. Anyway could the gfi outlet have gone bad? Wouldn't surprise me that keystone didn't wire the back wall outlets alone.

Wouldn't be the first time that has been mentioned ... and been the problem.

Fuses are DC only. Forget those. Get a GFI tester from Home depot for around $8. It has a button that will trip the GFI when pushed.
Check that you have an output from EVERY circuit breaker. Keystone has the funkiest wiring I have ever seen. I found outlets wired to the converter breaker. If you have an outdoor outlet, it's probably a GFI so reset that one also. If you have voltage to a GFI and you can not test and reset it, then it is defective.

[belgian]

I'll give that a try. Thanks.

To add onto what Bob said, if you are comfortable with checking voltages I would pull the GFI in the bathroom and check the voltage at the POWER side and the LOAD side. Obviously should have power on the POWER terminal and if not tripped and working should have voltage on the LOAD side feeding the other plugs being protected by this GFI. If I recall a member had found the the load wires had come loose from the GFI

[belgian]

Thanks. I'll check voltage when home. Also have been told that outlets are hooked together and if one wire is loose then obliviously you have a problem with the rest.

Thanks again for the help.

Wouldn't surprise me if the bathroom, kitchen and outside are one circuit and the ones in the bunkhouse are a separate circuit. Maybe not even GFCI'd. So either a breaker is gone or the GFCI is tripped/bad.

Galley, bathroom, and outside outlets are required to be protected. To my knowledge, you can have any number of outlets protected by one GFCI. Any outlet that is not out side or in close proximity to water does not require it.

Yes all outlets in our rig are daisy chained off gfis check in basement areas and outside kitchens
Did you try tripping and resetting breaker?
Is the frige on that circuit also?

[belgian]

I believe I might have the answer. Think GFCI is bad. All out lets are chained through it. Except, the main TV in living room, two outlets on back wall, even the outside kitchen is run through it, which has the adult beverage frig. Had to move everything inside, talk about inconvenient.

Have a new GFCI coming.

Thanks again for the input. Always something new isn't it?

[belgian]

New GFCI did the trick. Would have been an easier fix had I known that many outlets are daisy chained through the it.

Thanks for the info.
