We arrived at the campground in N.c. this morning and have No power to any of our 110 outlets.. Husband has checked all breakers, replaced the GFI and it at his wit's end.
Please , any help much appreciated. going to have to deal with this tomorrow.
Many thanks in advance.

This would be my check list:
1. Make sure the house switch is on.
2. Make sure the pedestal has power. I carry a meter with me but you can also use adapters (50a male to 30a female, 30a make to 20a female) and plug in a lamp.
3. Most GFI's have an LED that illuminated when it has power. Make sure it's on.
4. Start the generator and see if you have 110vac power. Suspect transfer switch if the genny gives power and a hot pedestal doesn't.
 Good luck,
Britt

Check the breaker on the inverter.

If your coach is like mine all the 110 outlets go thru the inverter. My inverter wasn't transfering when I was plugged into power. It's going to be something involved with your inverter. My inverter was bad and just got finished replacing.
Mine would work when AC power wasn't present. So it would invert 12 to 110 but wouldn't allow transfer of power when plugged into power.

On my 1995 Magna, there are two additional breakers on the wall of the inverter compartment.

One of those had tripped when we had the problem.

Yes, I replaced the GFI and the bedroom panel CB in desperation before I found those breakers.

The power flows from the bedroom CB panel, to the inverter, to the basement breakers and then back to the GFI in the bedroom on my rig.

Ditto on the inverter circuit breakers.  Mine has two breakers that are small black "button" type, about the size of a pencil eraser located on the face of the inverter. Resetting the the 20 amp one fixed the same issue you have.

in our coach when we first bought it, the transfer switch in the bedroom closet (top left) would stick.  the tech tapped it and it started working. They did replace it.
