Hi All, I need a little guidance as to where to start looking for an electrical gremlin. On Friday as I was getting ready for a weekend trip I started the Onan, let it warm up and then turned on the roof A/C. Everything worked fine so I left the coach to load a few more things and when I came back I had no electrical power (110 volt) at all. I checked all the breakers and the Onan, which was still running fine, and could fine nothing obvious. We headed out with just the dash air running and got to our campsite fine. When I went to plug into shore power, it immediately tripped a 20 amp GFI repeatedly, (no 30 amp available) with almost nothing on in the coach. I then found another 20 amp GFI and tried that with same result. Finally I was able to find a 30 amp hook up and was surprised to find that everything worked fine. When I returned home I tried my brand new 20 amp GFI and it did exactly the same thing. Once again I plugged into my 30 amp and everything is working fine. I tried my generator again and still no power to any 110 volt in the coach. Questions are; where should I start looking and do I have a separate problem with the generator and shore power, or is the same gremlin causing both issues? Any and all help or suggestions are greatly appreciated as I am incredibly challenged when it comes to electricity.
I should mention that I have a 78 Royale, rear bath, and it has one breaker box in the closet that I believe controls the rear air and another breaker box that in under the passenger side rear couch/bed the controls power from shore or Generator.
