Dead outlets.

Here is what I found as I pulled the plug out of the back wall on a brand new Monty.

I had a similar issue in my 2018 385BR. I lost power to multiple receptacles and the ceiling fan. I pulled the switch out for the the ceiling fan and found that the wires were not fully inserted into the "V" groove on the back of the receptacle. They use a speed wiring system that does not require the wire to be stripped. The jacket is cut back and the wires are pushed into the slots where the groove cuts through the insulation and makes contact with the copper wire. Since most of the 120VAC is daisy-chained, you might have to pull multiple outlets and switches to find the offender that is dropping power to everything downstream.

I'm currently experiencing this (all NON GFCI outlets are not working) with my 2020 377FLB Montana. My water line for my ice maker broke and was leaking water right on these connections. Are these the ones you are referencing above?

Battery too! Pulled the plug socket out of the trailer with 4 screws. Found loose wires from the factory in the plug. Tighten the wires up. We haven’t had an issue since.

I hope this helps.

we had the same issue. Turns out the line wire feeding the GDI outlet was loose in the junction box located behind our fuse box
