Step 1. Pedestal breaker ON.. Turn OFF then back ON.
Step 2. Using a meter, is there POWER coming FROM the pedestal..
Step 3. Plug in your power cord. Measure at coach end. Do you have power...
Step 4. Fire up genset. Do you have power with genset running...

Assuming you performed all four steps and your answers were yes...go to step 5.

Step 5. Check breakers on inverter. Should be one, possibly 2. These are very small button types that are simply pushed in to reset.
Step 6. Check all breakers in your breaker panel. Don't simply look at them, turn each OFF then back ON.
Step 7. Locate ALL gfci breakers. Should be one for the kitchen, one for the bath(s) and possibly one in a storage compartment. May also be one in the refrigerator compartment accessible through the outside inspection door. Reset each one.

I would suspect your problem is related to one of the GFCI circuits. It's important for everyone to know how many and locations of each for their specific coach. It makes trouble shooting so much easier. I carry a spare for that occasion when one of mine is going to fail....good luck...be sure to post a solution when you find it.....Dennis

Good troubleshooting check list Dennis. Yes by all means please let us know how it works out. I have a feeling this is another that asks for help and never gives feedback.

Poor guy is still without electric. I'm sure he would have told us if he had gotten it fixed. It would be rude to ask questions and not give feedback.
