Only one out of 4 outlets is serving power

[kayt]

Hi all. I got my 2011 19' Flying Cloud Bambi out of storage and have been driving cross-country, and I've noticed that only one outlet is working. The other three don't serve power when I plug appliances into them. Is this a breaker issue? I would appreciate any advice, if you have it, about how to fix it. Thanks!

Had the same problem. Breaker replaced under warranty.

I assume this is when you are connected to shore power.

I would check the voltage at the circuit breaker using a voltmeter or use a receptacle tester to check it at the receptacle.

Good luck, Dan

Newbie, be aware that breakers that flip can still look like they're on. And they won't reset until you flip them to OFF, then back to ON. Try resetting all of your breakers before you do anything else.

Kayt if your if the other 3 outlets are on the same run (outlets often daisy chained together) then you just may have a loose wire. sometimes through vibration awire to the next outlet in the cahin will work loose and thus open the circuit to the remaining outlets. with the circuit breaker off remove the outlet cover for the good outlet and check the wires, if good go to the next outlet in the chain and you should find the loose wire. shorts trip breakers not open circuits.

I read your answers with interest. We have a similar electrical issue as Kayt. Our problem is when we are plugged into shore power & voltage registers low, one chain of outlets registers 120 & other side registers too low to use. When the shore power registers strong 120--no problems with any of the outlets. Any ideas?

Loose wire, poor connection. Also make sure you aren't getting arcing at the post from a bent 30 amp pin, etc.

2tex you have the opposite problem which means power down (disconnect all power shore and battery) then with a volt meter set to ohm stick the probe in 1 part of the outlet of the bad chain and the other probe to a shell contact such as window frame. Both blades should read open or max resistance the pin or round ground should be lower resistance.
Short to shell or liner.
