Yeah, I'm an idiot. Obviously, the wires coming in would be feeding the power from the GFCI to the outside outlet and the other set of wires is feeding the bed outlet. Dur.

I changed the GFCI, no luck. So, would there be a ground fault between the breaker box and GFCI?

I never saw you answer Stephen's question about whether you have 120v power coming into your Pod.  None of the outlets will work if there's not 120v electricity hooked up from outside somewhere.  (The battery's 12 volts don't get inverted to 120v and distributed to the 120v outlets.)  You have a 12v DC system and a 120v AC system and they are completely independent of each other.

I haven't read the whole thread very carefully, so I could have missed this.  And this is very basic information, but not everyone understands it, so sorry if I'm being too rudimentary.

Hi Tars, 

I appreciate the thought; yes I've tried a few different outlets and extension cords for 120v source but none have changed anything.

So now that you have 120VAC going to the LINE connector on the GFCI, is there 120VAC going to the LOAD connector (with the wire disconnected)?

No sir, no power to the Load/top side of the outlet.

Does the LOAD connector have power when the black wire is disconnected?

Merry Christmas all.

No, the load connector does not have power with the white wire connected and black disconnected; nor when I have no wires connected to the load side and am just testing the terminals on the GFCI. I have 2 GFCI outlets and have swapped both in to test, neither get power.

Do the two wires on the supply (LINE) side have a voltage reading? If so, what is it?

Yes, the two wires coming into the line side read 120v.

Well, if you have just the three in wires connected (line in, neutral in, and ground), and there is power active, and the GFCI will not reset, then the GFCI is bad.

You can test this on the bench with an extension cord lest there be any doubt.
