Ground fault location in living area
I lost all the AC plugs in the living area of my 2006 3500RL today. I checked the breaker and it was not thrown. I then found what I beleive is all the electrical outlets in the living area..2 above the TV, 1 on the desk, and two below the rear window. None of these outlets were the ground fault plug. I are relatively sure that it is a ground fault problem, but where is the ground fault? I found two ground fault one in the kitchen and one in the bedroom did a test on them and they are working fine. Does anyone know where the ground fault plug would be in the living area? Thanks

like The Old Fogies allude to, please provide the year and model of your rig and maybe someone with the same thing can provide information.
I have three GFCI outlets that I know of in my 3500RL. One is the outlet next to the lavatory. Another one is an outlet over the counter and under the upper cabinets between the sink and the stove. The last one is in the living room wall by sofabed slideout by the awning.
I had a problem with the lavatory one and replaced it, then it failed again. I found the dual 15/20amp combination circuit for the lavatory area and the microwave needed replacing. It was "failing" but not resetting and causing problems with the GFCI by the lavatory.
I hope your problem is easier to fix.

Art,
??????????? Did I miss something here, the OP plainly states a 2006 3500RL in the opening sentence???? The oversight can be excused since my oversights are still way far greater in number than yours!!!

Check the connections to the three busses inside the breaker box. They are notorious for being loose from the factory.
Be sure to unplug all power to trailer before you remove the panel cover.

Wow, bingo... thanks for that! I'm catching up to you fast on them oversights. I thought I looked twice, too.
Sorry I had a "doh!" moment AlanPat. I hope you find them outlets. The living room GFCI is next to the double doors on the couch side... I hope the manufacturer didn't take liberties and put it somewhere else. There are a lot of outlets in the living room.
I'm gonna go catch some ZZZZs now.

Thanks to everyone!!!! As it turns out there is no GFI in the living room area of the 3500RL that I have. The problem was as one of you pointed out a loose wire on the buss. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU. THE WEB SITE IS SO HELPFUL.

On our Mountaineer the bathroom GFI controlled a lot of the outlets in the trailer.
