My wife and I bought a 1999 country coach intrigue 32 foot no slides in december, and we love it.
This morning while boiling water for coffee all of the outlets tripped, but the gfi doesn't appear tripped. We still have power to the microwave, refrigerator, and furnace (28 degrees in oklahoma today).....but nothing to the outlets.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Has to be a circuit breaker!! Since you have power to some of your coach,I would unplug the coach and start the generator. If you still get the same result, thin you will know that it is a tripped breaker in your house panel. Remember, your ground fault will not trip on an overload. It will only trip when it senses a fault. By the way, if when you unhooked from shore power and turned on the gen set and every thing is working normally, your park power has lost one leg of it's 240v service.

Nat that is actually what I do for a living fulltime. I have spent the last several years living in hotels shooting cars and people for companies/magazines. The wife is just finishing up her doctorate in bio - statistics, and said she wanted to go with me......so we bought our country coach. Now we live in it fulltime. Driving/seeing the country has always been fun to me. We bought a new gmc Sierra last April and it has 52,000 miles on it the Subaru before that was 106,000 miles in 16 months, and our customized 64 corvair van got 170,000 miles in four years. We started our blog back up, and I'm going to try and post about our travels it is at www. NotStockPhotography.com/blog (http://www. NotStockPhotography.com/blog)

I also have the bug! My little race shop all rebuilt by my son and I. Look up SVRA vintage race cars, beautiful cars of all makes and age not just to look at but they race. It's a gear heads dream come true. Great place to take some awesome photos. They run at Indianapolis each year. Ever get this way look me up. Have a great spot near the track that will fit a Country Coach.
I look forward to following your travels. Keep up the with stellar shots and will have a calendar of yours in the race shop soon.

Hit the test button on the gfi and then reset, many times they  don't appear tripped but are.

Indy is one of my favorite places to shoot. As soon as it warms up I have to do a shoot of a riviera there for Rodders Journal. I've been lucky to be able to shoot cars on the track at Indy, and stills on pit road........can't say enough about how much I love Indy. There is also a great torta place over by the Allison factory, and the doughnut shop between the track and the old baseball stadium is pretty awesome
