Not many plugs, I would look for a wire that came loose & grounded out]]> Sun, 21 Sep 2014 23:46:47 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5330&PID=51785#51785 No power to outlets : You should be able to tell about... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5330&PID=51779#51779 Author: Tars Tarkas

You should be able to tell about the GFI outlet.  It lights up when tripped, and the button pops out.  Perhaps a dumb point, but not everyone realizes that the outlets don't work unless you're hooked up to shore power.  I think I've seen newbies who think the battery will power the 120v outlets.

The GFI theoretically trips for a reason.  Some of them are sensitive enough to flip if you think about them.  Anyway, the point is you might have a ground fault that you need to resolve.  If you suspect the GFI, unplug everything you can find and try it again.

all of the outlets that are wired past the GFCI are protected by it so yes it will often shut off most if not all of a Pod's outlets, different Pods are wired differently and i've even see similar models wired differently.

if it won't reset the outlet itself could need replacing.

So if the gfi is tripped it shuts off power to all the outlets in the pod? The gfi won't reset, so I'm guessing the wiring to it jarred loose while driving. ]]> Sun, 21 Sep 2014 19:42:02 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5330&PID=51776#51776 No power to outlets : Originally posted by blackcatOut... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5330&PID=51772#51772 Author: kymooses

Hit the reset button on your GFI outlet in your Pod, it has probably tripped.
