Any suggestions on why the bathroom outlet is not working. Not the fuse, it is checked. All other outlets are working. Please let us know where else to look. Thank you.

Not familiar with your unit but did you push the button on the outlet to reset the GFI?

The bathroom outlet does not have a sticker indicating gfci.

The kitchen has a trip and has been reset. But the bathroom does not have the reset button.

A bathroom outlet should be GFCI protected. The outlet itself does not have to be a GFCI outlet, just downstream of one that is. Look around the coach to see if there is another one somewhere that is tripped. Maybe an outside one?

And while you are doing that search unplug anything that is plugged into an outlet. Something that is plugged in may be tripping the GFCI.

Okay. Nothing is plugged in throughout the entire vehicle. Thanks.

Any idea what tripped the kitchen outlet? Also, I have had an outlet trip on me shortly after resetting. You might want to check the kitchen outlet again.

I am guessing you may have the refrigerator plugged in if it is residential type. The microwave is on house current and the two TVs may be also.

As mentioned above, are there any outlets in your outside compartments? Check your exterior GFCI outlet if you havn’t done so.

Consider the possibility of a loose wire in your bathroom outlet.

Did you check the bathroom outlet with a multimeter or is something you want to use not working but it works elsewhere?

So others may help let us know if your are plugged into shore power.

Again, the GFI thing can be baffling. Coach builders usually run several receptacles off one GFi. Anywhere there is water and electrical is a possibility. Check the outside receptacle, and the ones in your basement areas. Places like Home Depot sell test devices that will give off a sound when power is on. Study YouTube about all issues related to RV systems-- you will become much more capable if you study and have the proper tools.

Your Isata 3 may differ, but on my Force the bathroom outlet is controlled by a GFCI breaker on the AC breaker panel. You might want to check for the reset button there.

And just for terminology sake, because troubleshooting electrical can get confusing.

If the bathroom outlet is not working, then it would be the breaker, not a fuse. On one model we have there is a "USB Outlet" 12V and that would be a fuse, not a breaker. Just want to make sure we're as clear as we can be so there is no confusion.

The only reset button for the gfci outlet is above the sink in the kitchen. The bathroom and outside outlet do not have a reset button. The outside outlet and bathroom outlets do not work. We have reset the kitchen outlet hoping it would start the bathroom and outside outlet. These actions did not work.

All fuses have been checked. All breakers have been checked.

TINSEAST · 10-05-2018, 08:02 PM

Just out of curiosity, what are you using to check the outlet voltage?

NealM · 10-05-2018, 08:14 PM

My Isata3 has a GFI outlet in the outside shower/Anderson valve compartment.

Tester and fan that we know works in the unit.

Thank you. Checked our valve compartment and there is no gfci outlet here either. Thanks for the suggestion.

As stated, all has been checked. What else can ve the problem. Bathroom and outside outlet still not working. The kitchen outlet is working and is the onlu outlet with a gfci tester and rest button.

So it sounds like the only GFCI outlet is the one in the kitchen. I would pull that receptacle out and check the connections for any loose wires. And then repeat that process on the other two outlets that aren't working. Turn off power first, of course.

Kitchen is working. Currently watching you tube video on gfci and downstream outlets. Meaning we think that the kitchen is the main gfci outlet and the bathroom and outside outlets are the downstream outlets.
We tried to pull the bathroom outlet but the outlet is enclosed and we could not view the wires to see if they were hooked up correctly. We need to figure out how to open the enclosed case to view and/or test the outlet.
