    No power to gfi outlets

    2021 momentum lost power to my outside outlet, i know its gfi and tied to the bathroom outlet so i went to
    Trip the bathroom gfi and it wont reset. They say it wont reset if there is no power to it. All outlets that are tied to the gfi outlet are dead. There are no fuses burnt out and no breakers tripped. I reset all the breakers
    Just to verify. Any ideas what to try?

    I recently tripped my bathroom GFCI. It was extremely difficult to reset. I used a small flat screwdriver to press the reset button. It is also easy to confuse my reset for the test button the way it is tucked under the cabinet. I was pressing test vs reset until I got better lighting on it.


    Drop the outlet and measure the input. Careful making that measurement.
    Good luck

    I would start with @stroguy's suggestions. Just so you'll know, there are no fuses on the 120VAC side of things - only circuit breakers. The fuses are on the 12VDC side (where there are no circuit breakers unless there's one on electric landing gear).

    If you find it still won't reset then either expect a bad GFI outlet or something plugged into one of the other breaks is the culprit (or one of those outlets is bad).

    Hopefully it isn't an internally shorted wire.

    This is a good assessment.

    I have a 2022 351m and had a similar situation. There is another breaker box below the lower step. Remove the 4 screws on the step going into the bedroom to see if one of the breaker popped.

    That is interesting, why would they have breakers under the step?

    It is the subpanel. The items in it are run by shore power and the inverter.

    I had to replace my bathroom GFCI on day 5. It was a bear to reset and it kept popping. Since replacing it, I have not had any problems. As a side note, the GFCI outlet in the bath says not to use it in a humid or wet environment. If you replace it, you might consider getting one with WR on it. They are designed to be Weather Resistant.

    I too had to replace my GFI in my bathroom.

    And I also found that my inverter (Generator compartment) also has a GFI that occasionally need to be reset as well.

    After talking with Grand Designs customer service, they said it was either a
    Bad breaker of a broken wire to the GFI. They couldnt tell me which breaker it was so i tested all the breakers and they were fine. Then i started really tearing things down to find my problem. After i had my camper ripped apart, i had to go into my pantry for something. I noticed 3 breakers in there and one was tripped. I reset it and everything is working great
