2018 Rockwood Windjammer 120V outlets dead

Hi. New unit. Had conflict with Solar, inverter and converter.
Have converter turned off and just on Inverter.
I have AC power at all the breakers, turned on/off to confirm, but nothing on the outlets. Says they are on GFCI but can't find a GFCI to reset.
Am I looking for a fuse, or GFCI, after the breaker?
Nothing obvious when I look.
Any guidance would be great.
Thanks.

Most of the time, the main resettable GFCI outlet will be near a sink, either in bathroom or kitchen (or both). You may also find one in a pass thru storage compartment. Other outlets are wired downstream of the main GFCI outlet so if it trips, the other outlets are dead until the main is reset.

This link may help you see what kind of outlet you are searching for. Colors and designs may vary from different rvs.

Are you sure your inverter is wired so that it powers all the AC outlets? Some RVs inverters just power a residential refrigerator and/or a few outlets.

Also, just to make sure we have the terminology and/or device correct, this may help:

i thought the Windjammer inverter only powered the residential fridge and not the outlets.

Sorted. Found that the kitchen/lounge outlets are on the refrigerator breaker and not the GFI breaker. I had ref breaker off as only using gas.
The GFI breaker services the bedroom and bathroom.
Cheers

That's because they are on the inverter which has a builtin GFI receptacle. As stated by WMTire, all outlets near water will be protected by a GFI device.
