GFIC Electric Outlets have no reset button (2005 Flagstaff SD-LTD Pop-Up Camper)

Hello, I have a 2005 Flagstaff SD-LTD Pop-Up Camper. There appears to be only 3 power outlets on the inside (none on the outside). 1 is near the rear bunk. Two are near the front bunk on both sides. There is is GFIC sticker on all 3 receptacles but when I remove the plastic cover plate there is no reset button on any of the 3 receptacles.

None of the 3 receptacles have power currently. The overhead air conditioner and installed lighting both work fine when the camper is plugged-in to the RV park's power post.

I contacted Forest River and was told the following: "the outlet closest to your converter breaker box will have a reset button right on the outlet. Then all the others are controlled through this one, thus they are labeled GFI protected.". However, none of these 3 outlets have the reset button. I'm not sure where to turn next.

Thanks for any advice.
Mark

on our TT we had the same thing. Find the ONE GFI outlet in the rig and trip it. That may just fix your problem.

Check the panel and make sure the breaker for all these rec. do not have a GFCI breaker, and its reset. Sometimes its easier to put in a GFCI breaker than to series them all together.

The breaker in the service panel is most likely G.F.I.C.

Check the outlet on the outside of your TT. Sometimes it is the closest to the power center and is the real GFIC with the reset button.
