I've lost power in all outlets served by the inverter in the coach. Replaced the GFCI since the old one would not reset, and it would not reset either. No 120V when plugged in to electric either. Suspect the transfer switch is not closing, or working. Can anyone help! Thank you, Barrie Boas 94 Concept 5111 (Gillig Chasis 8V92TA)

If its just your 120v outlets that are not working i wouldn't look at the transfer switch. I would look on the inverter to see if there is a tripped circuit breaker.

I would check the transfer switch. Unplug and turn off inverter/s, turn back on and listen for switch to engage. If it does not it is the transfer switch, or, there is a distribution panel near the transfer switches, which has some big ass fuses. i lost a fuse years ago and that was the problem.
I assume you have 1 or 2 Heart 2000 inverters? 60158 92 Prevost

The same thing happened to us and I found one of the two circuit breaker switches tripped on the inverter. After resetting, everything was OK.
