3450 RL GFI Reset?
On my 3450 RL, My outside wall plug and inside basement storage plugs aren't working. As well, my rear electric stabilizer jacks won't operate. My front electric jacks work and other interior plugs work. I'm plugged in to 15 amp plugin right now.
The TVs work.
I checked the breakers and all are on.
Is there a GFI plug that has a reset button somewhere? I kinda checked around but the unit is new to me.
Any ideas on both GFI's and Rear electric stabilizer jacks?

The GFI in the bathroom says "GFI Outlet" but there is no buttons on it to reset like on a typical GFI plug.
Anyone got any thoughts on why the rear electric jacks don't work from the outside switch?

As luck would have it I tapped on the electric motor and the rear stabilizer jacks worked.
I still haven't found the GFI reset. The bathroom doesn't have the reset button. It only has "GFI Receptacle" printed on the center face.

Your rear motor breaker just reset, they reset by themselves they are auto reset if you overload them going down or bringing them up and holding the button to long. I would check in the galley area probably by the sink. I have two GFI with test buttons one in the head and one in the galley on the sink island most are located in a wet area. You have to have one. could be located at an outlet in the storage area or outside plug.....Keep looking you will find it.

Do you have washer/dryer prep on your unit? If so there's an outlet there.

They also make a GFI breaker, Check your breaker panel. Not sure where they put it by code you have to have one.

Since you are hook up to a 15 amp circuit and most likely have a 50 amp shore power supply and using adapters, you might only be powering half of your AC distribution panel.....you would need to check with multi-meter at adapter to see if both L1 and L2 have power to neutral......

I checked the breaker panel. All breakers are on. The only thing I haven't checked is the fuses.
I need my glasses for that! LOL

Breakers can be all on but if you only half power from supply, then half your distribution panel will be out......

That's great, back in Business. Weird place they put that, but now you know where it's at.

You always worry buying a new to you "Used" anything. You can check all the things you can think of pre-purchase and still get stung.
I've been lucky on this fifth wheel that the only costly thing I've had to do was get the roof and slides resealed and I knew I was going to have to do that and negotiated an excellent purchase price with that in mind.
The only thing mechanically wrong that was found when I had it at my dealer for needed roof reseal was to replace the outside shower tap.

Sometimes IMO it is best to buy used if it's in good condition, let the others have the headaches of working through the new unit problems and they all have them. Even if you bought that in 2010 it would be time for resealing anyway. Good Luck and enjoy your rolling home...

We had a similar problem on our Blue Ridge, which I am told is made in the same factory as the Cardinal, and found the GFI reset on the hard-to-find electrical receptacle on the bottom side of the cupboard near the sink. Take a look under your cupboards. We had our unit for a couple of years before we knew there was a plug there.

Take a peek under the upper cabinet next to the stove. We have a 3625 RT and had the same problem. Ours magically disappeared but while trying to locate the GFCI outlet controlling the storage and bathroom and outside, I found a real GFCI receptacle under that upper cabinet. We have a kitchen island and the outlet at the end of that also was affected. Happy searching.

We have a 3450. Look under the cabinet left of the stove. That works the under belly lights,refrigerator and a few other things. You also have one in the bathroom.
