Yes, one GFI equipped outlet (with test and reset). But other outlets on the same circuit (breaker), that are downstream from it, are also protected by that one GFI device. If GFI trips, then many outlets stop working (excludes Microwave, ...)

Are you looking for just the GFI device, or finding the GFI protected outlets?

MY 98, 30255, had one GFI in each night stand on either side of the bed.

Hello Herb,

I am with Pat at Pacific Shores in Oregon. He is having problems when hooked up to 50 amp. These problems are as follows, front heat pump will not work, fridge will not work on electric along with several outlets on passenger side of coach. Rear heat pump works as does microwave. Checked fuses and gfi in bedroom, was hoping that we missed something simple. Also when generator is on all listed items that don't work when plugged in to 50 amp will work??? Hopefully some has an easy fix.
Donnie Coury.

Bad transfer switch, one feed is not connecting, burnt connector or loose wire at plug or transfer switch.

Since I have a National Dolphin gasser not exactly sure where CC put them. It will be a square box about 1 foot square and 3-4" thick with 3 large cables going into it. 1 from generator, 1 from shore and 1 going to the main breaker panel in the coach. Inside are large relays, if mechanical they may be able to cleaned or repaired. If electronic then will need replaced. In your case it sounds like one feed is always on or stuck to the generator feed so the 2nd feed from shore before makes it to the coach.
Quick check with meter, verify to hot leads at power post. If you have a detachable power cord plug it into the power pole and then measure at the coach end for all good connections. Finally measure at the transfer switch.

I had this happen on two occasions in my coach. Both times it turned out to be one of the legs was not making a good contact in the 50 amp outlet at the pedestal. I unplugged it and plugged it back in giving the plug a slight twist and all was good. It certainly could be the transfer switch but it is worth a try to make sure that you actually have 240/120 volts coming into the coach to begin with.

Check the circuit breaker on the inverter.
