327res Electrial Problem
Hi Guys! This is my first post on here, so I hope I'm doing it correctly! We purchased the 2013 Keystone Cougar 327res last summer. We absolutely love it, but have had a problem with electricity in the outlets. For some reason, the dealer did not provide an owner's manual, so I'm hoping some of you other owner's may help me find my main electrical outlet! I have one in the bathroom - which I've reset many times. We've been told there should be a second one in this model somewhere. The problem is WHERE? LOL I cannot find it anywhere to reset it. Can anyone help? Thanks!

The dealer does not provide manuals any longer. You must go to Keystonerv.com and download the one for your model. As for the outlets, you only have the one in the Bathroom that you can reset. There should be other outlets downline from that one, in the kitchen area and outside outlets. Which outlets are you having problems with?

Assuming you've checked your breakers as well?? and as camper 2010 mentioned, which outlets are not working? Fireplace working? TV working? More info is needed to give a better answer.

The 110vac side of the electrical system in our RV's is really very similar to our residential wiring systems. Power comes in through a single line to a distribution panel which contains a number of circuit breakers. From the breakers it goes out to various parts of the trailer, ending at outlets or appliances. It works the same and you trouble-shoot it the same as you would the power in your home.
ABSOLUTE FACT: Keystone does not provide schematics, wiring diagrams, plumbing diagrams, or any other detailed construction plans of any kind. My advice to folks is to simply accept this and move beyond it. In the case of electrical systems, study them, trace them, figure them out, and make some notes for later use. When I first got the Cougar home, I spent some time determining which outlet or appliance is connect to each circuit breaker. I located every outlet in the trailer and then figured out which ones are downstream from a GFCI.
Places to look for outlets: - Any compartment or area where the cabinetry is designed for a television. In most rigs, there's one in the entertainment center and another in the master bedroom.
- Any place that you'd expect an outlet to be; kitchen walls, bathroom walls, bedroom walls, living area walls.
- Basements or storage areas. Mine has two in the basement.
- Some rigs have an outside entertainment center in a compartment.
- Pop the lower vent off the outside wall by the fridge. There's one there.
- Many rigs have at least one or more outside outlets.

no GFI outlet power.
If you have a 110V household outlet tester, check all the GFI outlets, they should be labelled. I had the same problem. The outlet in the door side basement is a good place to start. I had a neutral wire loose (off). There are too many wires running through this outlet and not enough room to crimp them all securely. Without a wire diagram you cannot determine the sequence of the outlet. Problem is not likely the outlet that does not work but the outlet before it in the sequence.

I was trying to point out that if mach22 was responding to a query made by ssmollnar back on April 14, he might be interested to know that ssmollnar has not visited the forum since joining on that same date. He joined, submitted a question and hasn't been heard from since.
I don't know whether or not mach22 was replying to ssmollnar's question ( a fairly "old" thread/question) or some other post in the thread.
It was meant as a point of information - nothing else.
I hope this clears up your confusion.
