GFCI outlets on 305RL

Someone posted on the Facebook group looking for a second GFCI outlet. He found the one in the bathroom, as did we, but is having some issues and cannot find a second one.

Anyone know if there is a second one, and if so, where it is located? It would be good information for us as well.

Did he check to see if he had power to that GFCI outlet, or did he just look at the buttons?

If he can't find a second one inside, he should look at the outside outlet, if he has one. It should either be a GFCI outlet, or be connected to one somewhere. Sometimes one or more standard outlets are wired as slaves to a GFCI outlet.

The fridge and a number of outlets would not work. Someone else suggested testing circuits and he did and apparently fixed the problem.

Our previous sob trailer had more than one GFCI outlet. I guess the Monty is different.

This was the reply:

"the best I can tell (not sure) is I may have not tightened the connection to the camper well enough.... hard to tell though."

Good to know we don't have to search around for another GFCI plug, since it is not there.
