120v electrical

Post by hankster »

I now have a 95 b190, very new to me.
Your site has been very useful and helpful.
By reading the forum I have been able to answer most of my concerns. (not enough gas in tank for generator to run, etc.)LOL.

I can not get any of my electrical items to work via the generator or plugged in. The generator runs great and seems to be charging the coach battery(monitor observation). When plugged in to "shore power" I notice the red indicator light is not on at the GFI receptacle and it will not reset. I am not an electrician, but could this be the first thing to replace(it seems too simple). Any help is much appreciated before taking it to the RV shop.

thanks-Hankster

True, GFIs do fail, and that could be it. Have you checked whether the coach AC works when the wall switch next to the thermostat is in the "up" position? That wall switch operates either the AC unit circuit (when up) or the 120V microwave and wall switches circuit (when down).

I will check that next. I didn't realize that's what the switch operated.
Stay tuned...............
thanks-hankster

Wow.............
Everything working great, can't believe how well gennie works after 4 years of inactivity.
many thanks

Also learned that there is a built-in breaker in the RV cord, was able to access thru back door under the "tub". Reset breaker and everything also worked from the "shore power".
