Ground fault switch?

We have a 2017 Work & Play 25WB
It refuses to switch from 12V to 120V..?
The Manuel states that there is a ground fault switch, but does Not say where it is.
Has anyone found it?
We have 110 coming in, and it is showing at the fuse box, but is Not making it into the camper.
What to do?

You do have a battery hooked up? The converter converts 120V to 12V .

Ground fault circuits only trip if there is a problem with the 120V side (the outlets.)

Need a little more information.
When you say nothing is making it into the camper, what are you checking?


Is the light in the microwave on?
Is it only outlets that don't work?
Have you checked the main 30A breaker in the distribution panel?
Do you have an inverter with a transfer switch built in?
Where are you checking "Power into the panel"

I
Am answering for my husband...
So I will answer each ? In the order asked
1 the light in the microwave is not on. There is no power to the microwave.
2 None of the 110 outlets are receiving any power.
The AC and the microwave do not work.
The frig/freezer is working but it is drawing off the 12 V system, not the 110...
3. The 30A breaker is the first thing we replaced
4. Husband is looking as I answer...
5. He is checking the hot wire going to the 30A breaker( the new breaker)
Waiting for husband to locate the inverter...really, really do appreciate your time and willingness to help.

He thinks he does. This is a 2017 model. He is assuming the inverter is automatic because it always has switched automatically from one phase to the other.
Hopefully, this will give you a bit more to go on...
Thanks
