On electric or generator? Was your water heater on electric, that draws a lot. What about the fridge? Gas or electric? TV on or house batteries dead and convertor running to charge them.

If you are in a RV Park.... Check the breaker at the pole... parks have a breaker and some have a GFI outlet that can be tripped.

Any adapters between the pole and RV? check for overheating/melting plugs.

Some breakers will look like they are not tripped!

Try turning it off then back on.
Anyway to test and make sure there is power coming to the pole you are at?

Anyway to test the adapter make sure it didn't fry internally?

Since you are the only ones there, can your shore power cable reach your empty neighbors pole?

You've lost 120 volt service. As someone suggested, look at the power connection from the RV park - reset the breaker and try it again.

Also, I think there's a master breaker for 120 volt in the RV. In my Solera there's a "Power Control Center" mounted near the floor below the stove. It's got a brown plastic cover, about 6 inches high by 15 inches wide. The right side of the cover comes off to provide access to breakers and fuses. The top-most breaker is the 30 amp master breaker.

Hope that helps

Dave

This is WHY we invest in ELECTRICAL MANAGEMENT PROTECTORS. You were LUCKY that there was no power pole short.
Protectors keep surges from burning up your equipment. GO AHEAD; ask; how would he know??
" bad experience, pre purchase of protector". Lost microwave and hot water heater in 5 seconds.

Well said!

I wasn't wearing my glasses and looked over at your info and thought it said "Dracula, GA" instead of Dacula, GA!
