120v or 12v power ?
120v runs off the breaker panel
12v runs off the converter.
Converter is usually located inside breaker panel...have to remove front panel to see it.

2013 Sunseeker 3010DS
Power everywhere except bedroom outlet and bedroom tv.
I see on panel at entry door that the converter has a reset button but for the life of me, can't find the converter. Yes I'm new to all this but my manual was no help, thought somewhere here could help.

Most of the time, the converter is located behind the front panel of the breaker panel. I have to remove the front panel and the converter is below the breaker panel.

Panel
The panel when opened has colored wires and fuses. Is it behind all that????? I would need an electrician. There is a diagram on panel cover and shows converter and reset button, but I don't see converter in the actual panel. I may need to call local RV Dr.

Do you have this model. Is your panel down at entry steps?

The converter is not your problem, it only converts 115 vac to 12 vdc to charge the battery and supply power to the 12 volt side of life. The outlets are 115 vac and are controlled by the circuit breakers. You may have a gfi outlet that is tripped.

Thanks B Joe, I have tried the reset on outlet in bathroom, but nothing. Will continue to trouble shoot.

I couldn't find your answer to the question of which type of power are you missing.
If you are missing AC power at a 120 VAC outlet, then you most likely have a tripped ground fault interrupter or a tripped AC circuit breaker in the power panel. The ground fault outlet may be in the bathroom or some other location and only needs to be reset to restore power. If it is a tripped circuit breaker, sometimes they need to be turned off completely and then turned back on to manually reset them.
If you are missing DC power for a power point or lights, check your fuses in the power center. Usually, an LED will indicate an open fuse but it's best to test fuses with an ohm meter.

Have you checked all the breakers in the Breaker Panel? Sounds like one of them is tripped. even if it doesn't look tripped, I would flip all of the small breakers off and on again....

You've told us you found your converter and that you've solved your problem. How about telling us what the problem was and how you solved it? Thanks.

We had no power in bedroom. The breaker had tripped but we could not find the silly bow where to reset it. [emoji4]
