Are the electrical plugs GFCI?

[Best Papa]

I have a 2014 303RLS that I purchased used last February and plan on doing more camping this winter and just purchased a heated hose for those rare occasions it dips below freezing.
My question is about the 2 electrical plugs mounted on the port side (Away from the door) that are inside the storage above the water control panel. They are not marked GFCI but the plug outlet on the starboard side (door side) is marked GFCI. I don't know if the little GFCI sticker had fallen off with the original owner or if it isn't GFCI to begin with and may not be safe for a heated hose.

Any suggestions?

For you electricians out there, is there a way to check?

Regards,

Best Papa

It’s likely protected by the internal GFCI...but with a used rig you never know. Plug a light or radio into the outlet and push the test button on the GFCIs inside and see if it goes off.

Good Idea. Thanks again.

The 120VAC outlets in the RV are protected by a GFCI - typically found as part of the bathroom outlet and, sometimes, a second outlet in the kitchen. You can test trip the GFCI outlet(s) that you find and determine which of the other AC outlets are on that particular GFCI circuit.

This simple $10 tool is a must have for me. It checks outlets are live and properly wired and allows to verify GFCI is working properly.

Thanks for the tips to all of you. I have one of those testers in the house that will now go into the 5th wheel. I tested the outlet like John and Kathy suggested and it is indeed GFCI so I noted it with a sharpie should someone else wonder.

Thanks again to you all and a Very Merry Christmas!

Rob,
A personal question. I see your US map and my son in law just bought us one and was wondering. Do you post the state when you travel there or just camp? I've gotten opinions on both sides of discussion. Obviously you can't drive to HI. At least not yet, LOL

I would like to know this also. Should I count states I traveled to or through in my car, motorcycles or previous Rv's? Just curious what others do.

For us, we must camp in the state to add it. For others just traveling through counts. It's up to you how you work it.

Now, as to the map... everyone has their own way of doing things. I don't add a state to the map unless we've stayed there in the RV. I think the map in my signature is too small to see, but we've only driven through Rhode Island - didn't stay there - so it's not colored in. Oh... we don't "camp." As full-timers, we like our creature comforts and it's probably more descriptive to refer to it as "glamping."
