    No Power at Two Counter Outlets in Hutch on 2107 29RS

    I finished my big lithium battery and inverter install project was pleased that everything seemed to be working perfectly. My wife was using a small Dirt Devil push vacuum up in the bedroom with no issues. When she moved down to plug in at the hutch, she had no power at either of the two outlets in the hutch. All other 120 volt power seems to be working as normal everywhere else in the coach.

    I checked all of the breakers in the main panel and nothing was tripped. I reset a bunch of them just to be sure.

    What would be my next move to troubleshoot these non-working 120 volt outlets?

    ps: All that I did in the main panel during the inverter install was to remove the stub of the prior main AC feed and replace that with the new AC feed from the inverter. So I don't think I disturbed too much in the main panel.

    Have you checked all other outlets? Could be a tripped GFI if your GFI outlet happens to feed the hutch, or if it's a bunch of outlets not working, it could be a wire not fully inserted on one of the legs of power wherever you installed the inverter.

    I just found two more non-working outlets this morning. So now I have the two at the hutch and the two beside the bed right by where your head lays when sleeping.

    The Victron Multiplus II inverter itself has the push in type of connections for AC power. I checked those connections very carefully when inserting those wires by tugging hard to see if I could make the wire pull back out.

    Or maybe you are talking about something I did in the main power panel under the hutch?

    I also installed the PD 50 amp hard-wired power system protector as part of this project. The read-outs on the remote monitor appear to be normal.

    We replaced the inside RV fridge with a Magic Chef 10.8 cu ft residential fridge. We took out the mini fridge in the outside kitchen. The deeper Magic Chef blocked the AC plug in the interior fridge compartment. So we hole sawed an opening for the Magic Chef AC plug to route to the AC outlet in the outside kitchen. I can confirm that the outside kitchen outlet is working because the interior fridge is working fine and it is plugged into that outlet.

    Here is another piece of info: We are not at an RV park. We have our unit sitting on the street in front of our house and we only have power coming from a standard wall outlet in our garage. We have the inverter set at 10 amps maximum incoming power. We are new to how the Victron Multiplus II works. Could the inverter be limiting power in some way since incoming power is so low?

    All of the coach has power now. We got to our first RV park and hooked up to 50A power and everything electrical was working. So the low incoming power when parked in front of our house was limiting what was able to receive power inside of the coach.
