black gfi outlet dead

[joe rv guy]

my 2016 interstate lounge black gfi outlet is dead, will not reset.

Its in the 20amp breaker.... inverter..........black gfi (located behind drivers seat)..... front TV and Blueray player circuit. ( tv and blueray not functioning as a result of the gfi not resetting)

Inverter seems to be functioning properly green lite flashes once per second.
Have not reset inverter yet.

Have reset the 20amp breaker at the start of this circuit.

Has anyone had any success in making this repair. Any input is appreciated.

Don't have an Interstate but did have problem with gfci circuit. A new breaker from Home Depot cured the problem.

Joe, Look on top of the Magnum inverter, there will be a small 5 amp ? circuit breaker.
A reset should fix the problem. The outlet won't power much without tripping.

fixed, 5amp breaker on inverter was tripped. Problem solved, thank you

Glad you got it fixed

I have 2020 Interstate 19 and appear to have same problem. GFI Test doesn't work and all the GFI outlets dead. Inverter appears to be working powering other outlets (TV) on the non-GFI side/circuit. Tried toggling 20A GFI circuit breaker but to no effect.

Inverter is green and appears to be working; test on the GFI circuit breaker is dead and no power on the circuit--3 outlets including microwave

Any idea?

The Airstream Owner's Manual should be a lot more empathetic that nothing that draws more current than electronic items should ever be plugged into the two TV outlets and the outlet in the over-cab compartment. Also, during the purchase walkthrough, techs should explain why. I doubt whether very many do.

I do have a mini-PC mounted on the wall over the desk in my GT and connected to the TV below as a monitor. Nothing else gets plugged into those three outlets.

I ran #12 wire and installed an outlet on the front side of the galley counter so that I can safely run a ceramic heater in the front of the coach in cold weather. If I want to use the AC charger for my Yeti under the desk, I run the cord across to my new outlet and cover it with a rug for safety. The photo was before I installed the plate on the outlet.

2018 Interstate Grand Tour Ext - non tv outlets (curb side) not working even when plugged in to 30amps. No reset button on outlets. Could someone please let me know where the GFI breaker is located? Or could it be a fuse? TIA.

Breaker is under the roadside jump seat. You must either be plugged in externally or have the generator running to reset it. It will not reset without power present.

FYI- That GFCI circuit has 3 plugs. One is outside near LP controls for hooking up a TV outside. Ours got wet and the GFCI would not reset. Replaced both the GFCI and outside receptacle which I sealed well before replacing cover. Also, on our Lounge EXT does not work unless on shore power or generator.

Yes, the breaker was tripped. Thanks.
