GFCI Circuit

My husband and I purchased a 2005 Keystone Laredo Travel Trailer and have some electric issues. We have looked high and low for the GFCI outlet and can not find it. Can someone help us? Thank you.

Typically, there are two common locations. The galley plugs (look up under the overhead cabinets for a plug) and in the bathroom wall plug.

In my trailer, there are four GFCI outlets but the only one with the test/reset button is in the bathroom. The other GFCI outlets are on the same circuit but they look like normal outlets. When the GFCI pops, all four outlets stop working.

We have two outlets under the kitchen cabinets and they are both dead - neither has a reset button. There is one on the side of the sink cabinet in the bathroom and it's a regular outlet and it is dead. I called Keystone and she told me to look under the sink... I haven't gotten out there yet. We know there is one out there somewhere...just can't think where else to look.

I had an '05 Laredo 5er and the GFCI reset was on the outside receptacle.

I went out and looked under the sink and there is nothing. I don't know where else to look... it's getting pretty frustrating knowing there has to be one and not being able to find it.

Long shot based on other replies and your responses, have you checked to see if you have a GFCI breaker instead of an outlet that controls the circuit? A GFCI breaker will have a reset button on it the same as a GFCI outlet.

Another long shot, based on a couple of video tours of your model I watched, have you checked the outlet for the television? It swivels to the outside, so water could be a concern at that outlet as well.

Good luck.

How about the outlet into which the fridge is plugged? This outlet is in the GFCI circuit so perhaps they put the master outlet there?

I called my husband and mentioned that to him about the refrigerator outlet and he said that it wasn't the GFCI outlet and that the outlet doesn't have power either.

I know you are frustrated, Slow down, take a flashlight and cover each room, outside, basement, water compartment. There is one somewhere.

Back to basics. Did you hear a click when the receptacles stopped working, or was it dead from the "get-go"? If it was always dead, flip all 20 amp breakers off and back on. Factory may have missed the GFCI device and it tripped from overload if it died in service.
Check the closets, the device could be in the washer closet or charging station in the master closet. Oops! Late to the party and no beer left. Sigh.......

Wow, this must be frustrating.

If any breaker has a pushbutton on it, it's a GFCI breaker. Turn it all the way off (all the way, hard, until it audibly snaps!) and then back on to reset.

If no breaker has a pushbutton on it, then the GFCI is provided by the first outlet in the chain, which is most likely to be the nearest outlet to the breaker box. (As someone else mentioned, sometimes this can be the outdoor outlet.) It will have a reset button in the middle.

GFCI is required wherever there is water, which in practice usually means kitchens, baths, and outdoors. There has to be at least one GFCI breaker or buttoned outlet in your rig.

Use these rules to inform your search.
