Power loss to 3 applicances
Hi, we have a 2016 384GK Solitude. After returning from the Q rally we are having a few issues. The main AC, electric water heater and the dryer will not turn on. The AC in bedroom works, the bath GFI is working correctly, the washer works and all other plugs are working correctly. Any ideas what could be the problem?

Those are all appliances that draw a fair amount of current, so they ought to be on separate breakers. They might all be on the same leg of your 50A service. You might check at the pole to see of both legs are actually working.

I second @kb0zke. It sounds like an issue with one leg of your 50 amp service. Don't jump to the conclusion that the issue is inside your rig, either. It could be the breaker on the pedestal or your power cable. Use a VOM to check everything starting at one end or the other (after you've checked the mains in the distribution panel, of course).

Thank you both. We had a loose wire on our solar, too. DH is fixing that, and then we'll try what you have suggested.

Was everything working the last time you were plugged in, or running the generator?
