If 12 volt system works and 110 does not, most likely the circuit breakers. Flip them off and then on to reset.

Good luck!]]> Thu, 13 Feb 2020 03:30:20 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13366&PID=129271#129271 No outlets are working : You most likely have a GFCI on... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13366&PID=129112#129112 Author: Woodmiester

Our 179 has one GFCI located under the bed and AFAIK all the other AC outlets connect through it (I don't know about the fridge or the microwave). So if the GFCI won't reset, either the GFCI is faulty, or something downstream is causing a fault.

I would probably pop out the GFCI outlet and disconnect the slave terminal (turn off the breaker before you do this). Then turn the breaker back on and see if the GFCI will reset. That will tell you for sure if the GFCI is broken or if you have something wrong downstream.

One GFCI outlet can protect every other outlet on the circuit.  The kitchen outlets are downstream from the GFCI outlet and are therefore protected by it.  If you have a ground fault on one of your kitchen outlets, the button will pop on the GFCI outlet and everything will go off.

I can't check my 2019 179 now (it's in storage) but as I remember the outlet on the right side of the kitchen is a GFI and as I think that the outlet in the back side of the refrigerator which it is plugged into is a GFI but if your refrigerator is operational on 120 that is a mute point.  Just pointing out that there maybe another location for a GFI outlet and I believe that only the refrigerator is plugged into that outlet.]]> Thu, 30 Jan 2020 19:45:17 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13366&PID=129056#129056 No outlets are working : Everything is on 120 right now.... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13366&PID=129055#129055 Author: aoibheall

micro, fridge and lights are working. Thank you for letting me know where the panel is. I wish that we had old school owners manuals.

On my 176 there is only one GFDI outlet but it controls all other outlets in the Pod, including the hidden ones for the microwave and fridge.  If it won't reset, either you have ground fault, which you should be able to find by unplugging everything.  If the GFCI resets then, plug things back in one a time until it pops again. 

As Olddawgsrule said, sometime the GFCIs go bad and have to be replaced.  Happened to me.  Not a big DYI project.

BTW, the things you say are working are 12v powered (unless the fridge is on 120v).

Since you have power to some items, but not to all (GFI tripped), the answer is forward of the auto-breaker and the panel has power.

Issue is now panel and forward. 

If all breakers are not tripped, then I'd be looking directly at the GFI in question. Being you can not reset the GFI (and nothing is plugged into it). Check the inlet (power from the panel) side with your multimeter. If it reads correctly, the GFI needs to be replaced.

Not unheard of for a GFI to give up the ghost..

There is normally more than 1 GFI outlet.

The breaker panel in the 179 is under the cabinet on the right hand side just inside the entry door. Check to be sure all the breakers in there are on and stay on. 

If they do but the gfi won't reset you might have a ground fault somewhere. Do any of the appliances (microwave, a/c. fridge on AC) work properly?

2016 r pod 179.

None of my outlets are working. I am plugged into my house. The lights work, the fridge works. The GFI will not reset. Is there an actual fuse or breaker box anywhere? I have combed the interwebs and I am at a loss. Getting it to a shop is a 3 hour drive, so if I can figure it out, that would be grand.
