no electricity in camper
I have accidently turned off the electricity to our camper and can't find where i have done this at. The main switch at the converter is turned on and I can't find any blown fuses. Do you have any ideas where else there is a switch that could be turned off or unplugged. Thank you for your help

Welcome to the forum!!
No 12V or no 110V? Are you plugged into shore power?

Did you hit a battery disconnect? If you figured it out, share what fixed it because it will help someone else down the line.

Is it possible that the breaker at the pedestal is tripped?? If you are at a campground, do your neighbors have power??
It is hard to guess with the limited information you have given.
Good luck ... hope you will see the light soon, Hank

I am plugged into my house outlet. We are supposed to be leaving tomorrow for the campsite. That outlet works with other things plugged into it. I hooked a new battery up to it and lights came on but no ac. Also the battery discharges without recharging. Thanks for your help.

Is the outlet you are hooked up to a GFCI outlet? A GFCI outlet hooked in with another GFCI outlet in your trailer do not play well together. You may have tripped the GFCI in the trailer and it needs to be reset. Good luck and enjoy your trip.

Or more likely the GFCI at the house. Yet OP says other things work on that outside outlet. I'd check the 30A (or 50A not knowing what he has) to 20A adapter cable we assume Steve's using if as he says, the trailer's main breaker is on. Or the extension cord he could be using.

Agree with Hankpage - we need more info - such as:
*What size (amperage) outlet are you connected to?
*Is your trailer 30 or 50 amp?
*Have you checked the main breaker on your trailer's power panel?
*What gauge power cord are you using?
*Have you checked to see if your "dogbone" adapter is good?
*What were you trying to power when the outage occurred?
If you were trying to run the refer while cooling the trailer you may have popped the main trailer breaker. Be careful powering your a/c with an extension cord - the voltage drop could kill your unit.
