2000 Model 3670RL-Ceiling Fan, GFI Outlet at kitchen sink no getting voltage

Checked all fuses and breakers in the control panel(also reset breakers). Not getting 110v at Ground Fault Receptacle to the left of the kitchen sink, nor to the light just to the left of that GFI receptacle between the stove & refrigerator or to the ceiling fan in the living room. Checked light bulbs in light & ceiling fan and they check good. Any ideas?

This sounds like two problems.
1. No power to GFCI outlet(s) in Kitchen - I assume you have tried to reset the GFCI. Did it reset? If no, it indicates no input power to it. Be sure you have the "master" GFCI outlet as it should be first in the power flow from the circuit breaker. Ensure there is power in and out. If input power is present, but no output, replace the GFCI, In that early a rig, could it be the "master" GFCI is in the bedroom?

2. No power to fan. - The fan is on a separate circuit from the GFCI one. There is a paddle switch on the wall of switches that turns On/Off to the fan. The fan also has its own switch (pull chains) to further control the fan & light. Ensure there is power to the paddle switch and it is passing it to the fan.

If that's not the only things with no power check for a dropped circuit since you have two 50 amp circuts entering your rig one may not be functional. Start with the two 50amp brakers, then check the pedestal, then the shore cable, then the connector where it enters your rig.

Dick makes a good point. There are two circuits and possibly one is dead. I am pretty sure a 2000 Montana is advertised as 50 amp but in reality it is one leg of 30 amp and one leg of 20 amp.

Thank you for the info. I'm helping a friend that is recovering from chemo & radiation and I live about 85 miles away and have been traveling back & forth helping him with the camper. So it may be a few days before he can check these items or I can get back over there to check them. I'll let everyone know what I find.

Right now we have the camper plugged in at my friends house on a 110 volt drop cord plugged into a 50 amp adapter. Not sure what effect that could be having. Me & my friend are new to campers but I'm a retired air conditioning mechanic & tech support manager so I understand electrical. Thanks again for all of your information. I wish I had an electrical schematic or manual that could assist us.
