To clarify, the receptacles are not wired in series. If they were they would not provide120Vac. They are wired in parallel just like the ones in your house are. They are however all supplied by the gfci in the one receptacle, which provides protection from ground faults for all of them. That saves money vs each receptacle having its own gfci. It is Code compliant and is often done in homes as well.]]> Thu, 14 Jan 2021 13:04:33 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14355&PID=139485#139485 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14355&PID=139484#139484 Author: JR

Keep in mind that the fridge's 110 outlet is not in that series and has its own sperate ground fault outlet.  Also wiring in series allows the ground fault protection for all the outlets in the series.  Glad it worked.]]> Thu, 14 Jan 2021 13:03:19 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14355&PID=139484#139484 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14355&PID=139482#139482 Author: Blender Bob

That was it! Found a red light glowing on the 110v outlet in the bench seat. I reset that GFI outlet and all came back on. Interesting to note the outlets are wired in series so one failing takes everything out. Thank you very much for responding.  ]]> Thu, 14 Jan 2021 11:57:05 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14355&PID=139482#139482 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14355&PID=139481#139481 Author: JR

You might want to check the ground fault 110 outlet, it might be tripped and all the outlets are wired in series, allowing the ground fault protection to all the trailer's outlets and the fridge has its own ground fault outlet.  The fridge's outlet is located through the lower outside access panel, located on the outside wall behind the fridge. This is at least how my 179 is wired and it's a vintage 2019.  Hope this helps ]]> Thu, 14 Jan 2021 11:45:43 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14355&PID=139481#139481 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14355&PID=139480#139480 Author: Blender Bob

This fall after winterizing, I put my 2017 179 to rest in the barn and all working. It is plugged in in to 110v and I used the frig as overflow storage around the holidays. This week, I found that the 110v outlets are not working and the frig on 110v does not work(gives alarm).  The converter, microwave and A/C fan and everything else work. I have toggled circuit breaker #5 which controls the outlets and frig to no avail. It's 28F degrees in the barn. Is my power panel dying? Is temperature an issue? How might I test/troubleshoot the situation?  Thanks! (oh how I hate partial failure of things!!)]]> Thu, 14 Jan 2021 11:07:42 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14355&PID=139480#139480
