2008 Magna 42 Van Gogh "No power from wall plugs"

Yahoo Message Number: 109436
We are working on the coach in storage with no shore power. While running on generator, AC's and washing machine have power are working fine. However, there is no power to any plugs including the microwave. I am aware that older coaches have a GFI plug in bedroom. This coach has 3 GFI Breakers in the breaker box.

Any ideas guidance would be welcome as CC is just off vacation and probably in the weeds.

Can you reset those gfi breakers? Same thing happened to me, and the breaker would not reset, so replaced it and solved the issue. About $50 at Lowes.

Being that you said that the "main" loads are working, my first thought is that the inverter is not passing power. Do any of the loads that are on the inverter "Sub-Panel" work? If you shut off the gen (you said no shore power available, but also with no shore power) turn inverter on, do you have power at the loads you should?

Sure sounds like not passing, depending on which inverter you have, some don't pass when batt's are to low and it can't turn on

I'm not totally clear on when you have power but, If you are getting full power with the generator and not the shore power I would guess the transfer switch. Check for power at the switch.
You should have a built in power conditioner which may have tripped.
Have you used this shore power before?

One other option is a lack of a ground on the shore power. Without a ground the transfer switch will not sense power and will not transfer.

There is a red button on the front of the inverter. The inverter is in the bay behind the aquahot in the middle of coach.
