Also look for a GFI outlet that is tripped.  I had that issue on my 2002 Intrigue and it took out most of the outlets.  Resetting that one fixed the issue.

I’ve had this happen to me.
1-As stated first check your GFCI circuits in your RV
2-Reset the red button on the inverter.  First time this happened , I had overloaded my inside outlets also and fix was to reset the red button on the inverter.

As pointed out, check the GFI outlet.  On my 40 foot 2000 Magna it is in the bedroom near the floor under the main power circuit breaker panel.  And, check your main panel to make sure none of the breakers have been tripped.

You need to provide more information.  Do you only have the problem with only connected to shore power?  Do you have the problem when the generator is running?  If a problem with one and not with the other it is likely to be the transfer switch. 

If a problem with both of those connections then your power protection device my be connected after the transfer switch and it may have failed.  In my 2000 Magna the protection device is only connected to the shower power and it would not stopped both sources of power.  However, the electrical schematics indicate the device connected after the transfer switch

Does the inverter provide to your outlets?  There is a secondary breaker box in the first storage bay behind the front passenger wheel, at least in my coach, that protects the microwave and all the outlets that are not connected to the inverter.  Those breakers may be tripped.  However those breakers are not connected to the water heater and the washer/dryer so check the water heater to see if it can be turned on to electric to see if you are getting power past the transfer switch.

And finally there is a transfer switch in the inverter that could fail and prevent from power from either the shore power, generator or possibly from the inverter converter.  There also is a small breaker switch on the inverter that may need to be reset.

If your inverter has been replaced the inverter may have a problem that will keep power from flowing into the coach from the inverter and would also probably cause problems with the charger.  The original inverter is a Freedom 25 from Heart Interface and I think, but not sure, the charger will work if there is power to the unit.

'Thank all of you for your help. I checked the inverter for 110 vac out and i have 110 there but still no power to the recepticles. I can't find a gfi anywhere on the coach. my  water heater works great on 110v. going to shut off shore power and start gen. and check plugs. I opened the 1st  storage panel behind right front wheel and checked all the fused in there and none were blown. Like all the green lights that show if the fuse is good.  pull the fuse and green lights go out. nice way of checking fuses. anymore suggestions would be very helpful.  Thanks Jim
