110V GFCI Circuit dead

[Stendec]

I have a 2020 Coachman Leprechaun 260 in which all of the GFCI outlets have gone dead. I understand that the norm is to have the circuit protected by one outlet that has the reset button on it, which none of these do, and which I cannot find. Any idea of where there might be an outlet hiding?

FWIW, I have a circuit breaker marked GFCI and have toggled it on and off several times, without success.

The master GFCI outlet will have a test and reset button. The downstream ones simply have a sticker. The master is usually in the bathroom, near the kitchen sink, or an outside outlet. The breaker for that circuit must be on as they require power to reset.

You may also have more than one master. Our present RV has two and our last RV had two also. One in the bath and one outside under the awning.

many RVs will have two outlet circuits, with at least one having a GFCI master outlet, such as in the bathroom, but some will also have the other outlets also on a different GFCI master outlet, maybe in the kitchen, or outside.

my son has two in his 2007 Rockwood, one in the kitchen for all outlets in the 'front' of the rv, and one in the bathroom with all of the rest of the outlets on it.

So far no luck in finding a master GFCI in the bathroom, kitchen or outside, nor in the exterior storage.

what LABELS does your Main Electrical Panel have listed?

is one 'GFCI', while another may say 'Gen' or 'Recepts' or 'outlets'?

the labeling from the factory can be all over the place, depending on 'who' is working that particular day, and their own 'handwriting' and 'spelling' and 'abbreviating' style... some you can't even read, or decipher, though.

Is the breaker labeled GFCI a standard breaker or is it a GFCI breaker?

I do have a breaker labeled GFCI, which I threw and reset, with no luck.

It appears to be a standard breaker and looks just like the others.

[formerFR]

it's just 'labeled' as a GFCI circuit, not that IT is a special breaker - the GFCI master outlet, with the rest function, is located where you actually 'plug in' something - like in the kitchen or bathroom.

[Bama Rambler]

I don't know if you have a RV or a residential fridge, but I've heard of the GFI being in the outside access door of the RV fridge.

It could also be in the passthru storage.

There is a possibility that a neutral has come loose. But you cant tell unless you have someone with a multi-meter.

Since you are troubleshooting tge 110 circuit, I suspect you are on shore power. Start there. Check the incoming power first. The gfci will not reset unless you have power to the load side of it. A bad ground or neutral will not let it reset. If you have an inverter, turn it on manually, without shore power and see if the 110 outlets work. If they do, you have a bad power cord or supply.

I called a tech and this is what he told me to try. Unplug from shore power, then flip the breaker then plug back in and it worked for me. Not sure if it will help you but worth a try...

Check inside your outside storage bays. As Bama Rambler mentioned many motorhomes and 5th wheels have a master GFCI outlet in a passthru storage.

Wound up at the dealer, who found a mystery switch mounted near the generator that seemed to reset the circuit. I NEVER would have found it. They confirmed that none of the outlets had the GFCI reset button. I'm not exactly thrilled with this set-up and am going to talk to a tech about a workaround.
