No electric
I have no 115 volt electrical. Their is power at the plug in and thru the cord to the Montana., but none after that I can find. I have checked the breakers in the trailer and they seem fine. Have no idea where to start. Any help will be appreciated.
Just arrived at the beach for ten days, so I am extremely anxious not to waste my vacation.

Try turning off all the breakers including the main breaker and then turn them back on. They trip internally and don't always look like they are tripped.

Do you have a surge protector? If so, it may have identified a problem on the power. Check the error codes or the lamp status if you do have a surge protector

Not trying to be smart but how or by what procedure did you verify power at the plug or the cord?

Surge protector won't tell you what you need to know, but an EMS system will. If you don't have one see if someone around you will let you borrow theirs. If what Jim had you do doesn't fix it, your problem can still be at the pedestal.

Thanks everyone for the help. I had checked the pedestal and 3 of the four prongs of the 50 amp cord and all worked fine.
Would you know it, it was the fourth prong, a ground, that had come loose in the plug. I verified this with a continuity meter. Took the plug apart and there it was, three wires perfect and the ground totally unattached. Reattached it and now everything is working well.
Thanks everyone for you help and support.
