No power

My Georgetown gt7 is plugged to a good power source but the RV has no power. I check the breakers in the bedroom and none is tripped. I am not sure what else to check.

if the what is considered a good power source ? you verified power ? second would be do you have a generator in your georgetown . if so you could have a bad transferswitch . need to verify plug ends are good and test everything with a meter to eliminate items as you check them . always more info helps are you at a campground ? home plugged into 20 amp or some other source . etc

What power amperage do you have from the house?
Have you confirmed with a meter that there REALLY IS power there?

I believe level jacks are usually DC powered from batteries….not AC powered from your power plug.

BTW…..any AC power by using your generator?

So you have confirmed that you have power at the 50A home outlet. Is this an RV 50A outlet you installed at home? Have you used it before and it worked? Do you have a EMS unit?

I would start by actually shutting off EVERY SINGLE BREAKER.

Then starting with both your main breakers, bring on ONE breaker at a time to see if that item comes alive. ONE at a time.

Sounds like you have a 12 volt problem not a AC voltage problem . check batteries , is the inverter a charge inverter or do you have a converter also ? since the microwave is on you have ac power unless it's going through your inverter . more info

BTW…..your original post was saying your RV has no power.
Does that mean no 12 volt and no 120 volt power within the rig?

Please clarify all that is not working.

Control Panel and lights should be 12v only have nothing to do with 110v AC or breakers.
When asking about electrical power, it's important to define whether it's the 12v DC electrical side or the 110v AC electrical side, if you want help.

Ok. So now you’ve identified your AC power is working inside your Georgetown.
These would be your 120 volt outlets and appliances that work off your power cord connected to your 50amp power outlet from your house.

By “control panel” are you talking about the panel which shows you the tank levels? Gray? Black? Fresh? Shows you your propane level? And may have control switches for ceiling lights? Control switch for slide(s)?

These are all 12 volt DC power items from your house batteries.

Are you sure your battery disconnect switch isn’t in the wrong position?
Plugged into 50amp but battery switch off would cause the same things not working that you report.
