Momentum 395M AC Outlet Problem
I am having a problem with several AC outlets in the kitchen area whereby they have no power. Another outlet that is dead is in the Norcold fridge cabinet on the outside of the trailer, so the fridge doesn't run on AC. The GFCI in the bathroom is not tripped and was reset. There are no tripped breakers in the breaker panel. I am running a dogbone adapter off of a 30amp 120V outlet on the side of my house, but the same problem also occurs on generator, so not a shore power issue. I do have a primitive circuit tester and the dead outlets are showing Open neutral. Thoughts?
Edit: Just to add, all of the dead outlets are on the same slide. Also I measured 120v AC coming out of the breaker for the fridge.Last edited by Harryc56; 09-18-2020 at 06:38 AM.

Check the outlet for the fridge itself, might be a GFI. The outlet is located behind the fridge, accessible by removing the vent cover panel from outside the RV.
If that's not it, it could be a loose molex connector and they are all over the place, usually in the underbelly near a slide.

That white box next to it is the molex connector I was referring too, sorry if it's the incorrect name, i thought that's what they were. Regardless there are numerous of those connectors, so I would check those if you can.

Thanks again. So here's the bottom line. I have 120vAC at the circuit breaker for the fridge. I have (3) outlets in the same kitchen island on the same kitchen slide that have no power, along with the outside Norcold fridge outlet (also on the same slide). If I had a wiring diagram I'd know how to troubleshoot this. Grand Design doesn't provide them, Short of removing all the receptacles and that white (molex?) connector and checking for continuity back to the breaker panel, anything else I can try? I'll do exactly that if I have to.

Sounds to me that's what you should do. RV outlets arentblike residential outlets, there are no screw terminals. I'd probably start at the breaker and work downstream looking for the weak link.

I hear ya, without a wiring diagram I am guessing at what 'downstream' is, but I'll give it a shot. So you can't measure voltage or check continuity at the side or back of an RV AC outlet?. Interesting. I guess I'll have to shut off all power and go thru the plug.

I’m getting 63 V AC at each of the dead outlets. My little circuit tester is showing open neutral. I checked the neutral at the breaker panel and it is solid
