Loss of electrical power.

[garyjordan43]

I have a 2015 Forrest River Class C Sunseeker. I have lost all AC power within the RV. The generator is running, the circuit breakers writhin the RV are all good. The circuit breaker on the generator in not thrown, (is in the forward position). When connected to shore power (110v) I do have 110 power within. An external generator works as well.

I'm at a loss.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Transfer Switch Issue ????

Where would the transfer switch be located on my rig?

Well this is interesting. I'm on here this am as the same thing is happening to us. We have same RV. What did you figure out as cause?

Has it ever worked on generator power?

Not having a motorhome, I have read on these forums where some RV's, don't have a transfer switch, but you have to actually physically unplug your shore power cord, then plug in a generator plug in your compartment for the generator to provide power.

I have no idea if this applies to your situation, but let me see if I can find some of these threads, as I always believe in starting with the simple things first in troubleshooting.

Here is one recent on a Georgetown:

Here is another thread on the plug for a FR3, that may help go with my above post, to give you something to check:

This is the first time we have had this issue. We used the generator several weeks ago with no problems. We need to pull over and check reset button. He isn't sure where it's at but it can wait until later today when we get to our destination. Sucks to pull over for cup of coffee tho!!

I have not gotten a chance to get it checked out as of yet. I will have it looked this week though and let you know.


thanks

We called our dealer service guy. Seems my coffee pot draws too much power along with air conditioner and blew the breaker on the generator. Coffee pots and hair dryers are energy zappers. Once we reset the generator breaker, all was fixed.

Yep. Seen that on YouTube. The breaker on the generator was not thrown.
