Power problems 1988 pt40

[Robert & Teri Rahn]

We just tried to see if anything different would happen if we started
up the generator, but same thing. Still no power to most of the coach
and no lights or readings on upper dash pannel. Thanks for your help!

Robert,

I may be tuning in late...Is the gen/shore power switch set to 50amp,
not 30 amp.?

Also, be sure to open drawers & doors so heat moves throughout the coach.

Another thing. Do you have two 30 amps hookups at the coach? Does it
make any difference with the cord plugged into one vs. the other?

Good luck!

As I think about testing things. Remove the coach 110v circuit breaker
panel cover. Use a meter to validate if there is 110V at all the
breakers. I'm thinking it could be a bad circuit breaker in that panel.

Robert,

I had this problem once, and found a loose ground wire in an 110V
electrical recptical. It was on the GFI circuit in the bathroom, and
I know you said you don't have such a circuit, so I don't know if it
could be the same problem possibly for you as was for me.
