2009 forest river ac issues

[Fr2009sal]

Half of my outlets work and the other half do not.
The fuses are good. None of the gfci are tripped. I'm so confused.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Are you hooked up to shore power? If so make sure the breakers at the post are not tripped. Are you on 30 or 50 amp? You may need to turn off post breakers and reset them. Same inside breakers off then back on. Did you have power before ?

[Fr2009sal]

I'm hooked up to my house.
I don't know if they worked before.
I just purchased it last month.
I didn't think to check all outlets. The ones I checked were the gfci.
Everything else works, microwave, fridge, lights, inside and out.

Are you attempting to run the A/c with other things running ? If so you are overloading your house circuit unless it is 30 amp

First you must sort in your mind the a/c side of the coach and the 12Volt D/C circuits. All a/c loads are protected by circuit breakers same as in your home. They will be grouped in a panel up to 12 circuits. You named half of them air cond, microwave, TV, fridge, gfci and outlets. Other loads are DC, lighting, steps, awnings, etc. All DC circuits are protected by fues located in the same panel as the a/c circuit breakers. One exception, large D/C loads >30 amps are fused directly from the battery "inline", secured to frame.
Your problem is most likely a defective circuit breaker serving the non gfci circuits or if a 50 amp service one of two 110 volt phases is not energized or is open.

to clear up something, lower case "ac" means air conditioning and larger case "AC" means AC electric, on RV forums.
like "tv" means television and "TV" means tow vehicle.

Good to know!
AC power ac air conditioner.
Nothing was powered on when I attempted the outlets.
I was thinking maybe the dealer changed out an outlet and wired it up incorrectly?
I placed a call with the dealer and left a voicemail.
Hopefully I will know tomorrow!

actually had that problem at a camp site, with the gfi found out that that current being generated was in flux and being low at some points were the problem

[Fr2009sal]

Well I found out why my outlets weren't working.
Now I have a bigger issue.
What would cause all of the ground wires to melt at the ground?

[Ford Idaho]

Direct short.

Odds are someone wired a ground wire to a hot wire and then there was smoke, lots of smoke from the looks of it.
