No power to TV's

This odd. Yesterday both TV's worked fine. They are aftermarket Vizio's. The bedroom TV found the over air channels using the "antenna" feature, but the front TV didn't have that menu option even though it was connected to the RV cable. Then, next to the 120V plug is a switch to go from "park cable" to "antenna". It was in cable modem so I switched it over and both TV's won't turn on and there is no power at either plug. I checked breaker panel above fridge and in bedroom and reset all the breakers. There is power to every other 120V plug. Help!

Engine running? Some units cut power to the TV recepticle when the engine is started. Just a thought.

Nope. I am on shore power at the moment and the engine hasn't been started since this problem occurred. I obviously tripped something somewhere I just don't know what or where.

Ok, now we're cookin' with gas! Just one problem. I don't have a clue as to where this inverter is located. I assume it must be somewhere in the vicinity of the house batteries. There is a vent under the shotgun seat in the step up to the cab area. I'm guessing it is located in there. I'll check that out later today. Thanks for the tip!

Mine is in the door above the passenger seat with the TV control box.

Can someone with a bit more knowledge than me help me decipher this wiring schematic? It's for the 27' 1990 model but I seriously doubt that there would be much difference. If you look at the "US 110 VOLT WIRING" on the last page it shows the two TV's on the same circuit along with some others that are GFCI protected. My problem is that I know that the bathroom receptacle is working and it wasn't tripped, as is all the other loads on that circuit except the last one, the overhead TV. Does that make any sense?

OP here. I don't know why but the problem resolved itself after disconnecting from shore power, firing up the gennie, shutting it down, and re-connecting to shore power. Both TV receptacles now have power. Either electrical gremlins or my own stupidity. Take your pick.
