120V Outlet Problem 2010 Journey 34Y

[bpcannan]

Hoping for some insight on a quirky 120V issue.

My setup is a Winnebago Journey Express 34Y with 3-100AH Battleborn batteries, Victron BMV-712 monitor and Victron 3000W 2 x 120V 50 Multiplus with a built-in surge protector.

Things have been working well but I hit a problem I am trying to think thru as we are currently in Florida for another month and was hoping you might have a moment to offer some insight.

The bedroom TV 120V Outlet, living area TV 120V outlet and the passenger side 120V outlets are not working/not hot even when plugged into 50 AMP shorepower. All other 120V outlets and 12V outlets are working fine, including the 12V outlet below the passenger seat 120V outlet. The TVs do work when I use an extension cord to re-route the TV power cord to another 120V outlet.

I re-set the GFCI in the galley and the GFCI below the power panel. I did not find another GFCI, and I did look in the battery bay where the Multiplus is located.

I checked the main breaker box and did not find any breaker needing to be reset.

The Winnebago does have the ignition lock feature which disable TV outlets when driving but should still provide 120V to the passenger seat side 120V outlet when driving. Is there a reset function on that?

Is there another GFCI someplace that I am missing?

Any insights appreciated if you have the time.

Thank you
Brian

Without looking at the drawings, it is just a guess but many inverters have a GFCI on the face. Have you checked the operators manual for info on that?

But one of the things to keep in mind when an RV has had the electrical system rewired as much as you show, there is not much help looking at the OEM drawings as they are no longer what you have!
What you do not have is what some person has decided looked right to them when they changed the setup!

When shopping, I rarely go far on RV that have been modified as it is so difficult to know if it was done right and I don't want to buy a problem somebody may have built!

Not sure what you mean by "power pannel". My 07 Meridian has 3 gcfi one in galley area, one in bathroom area, and one in outside passenger side bay.

As things were working and then just stopped, I would think something simple. Hope so

As a follow up question?
How are you setup for swapping info? Are you using a cellphone for comms or a laptop, etc. where you get a bigger picture?
I've done lots of looking at the drawings here and it is much more effective if we can swap drawing info.

I have done a lot of that and have the setup working where I can cut out parts of drawings to mark up power paths, etc. to pass along. But recently I have found that much of that work is wasted effort as it is too small to be read on cellphones!

So the question comes down to whether it is something that could help or just a waste?
Referring to info from this drawing, if you go direct to them for info:

I will send along this snip of the OEM drawings in an effort to find what is useful or wasted?
This is a snip of the 110Ac drawings that the inverter GFCI might kill. Is it something you can read?

Trying to get a feel of what might help and what is just wasting your time and adding to your frustration!

Did you also check the breakers in the inverter panel? However I too suspect there is another GFCI receptacle.
Use a non-contact voltage tester to trace every circuit.

I have the same 34y and had the same problem. There is a gfci outlet on your inverter that may have tripped. That is what happened on mine. Good luck.

Thanks. Between the link and drawing I now insights I didn’t. Off to test tomorrow.

Took a bit longer but got the wiring schematic for the coach and combined with your diagram set out to open the panel again, this knowing what to look for now.

All the wires in the breakers were solidly screwed but 1
The 'one' was not in a breaker but a wago connector so essentially neutralized.
The one surprised me as I have the lone wire and a breaker without a wire in the wago.

I thought about inserting it in the breaker but backed off to think about and maybe get some ideas here.

On my panel labels the empty breaker says its the converter (15 AMP)
My problem is the lack of 120 to the bedroom TV, dinette T, Front TV and the 120 plug by the passenger seat.

My batteries charge when connected to shorepower so I am thinking that somehow the wire for the converter got placed in the breaker for the TVs and the 'one' wire in the wago never got put back.

I really physically trace the thing beyond the breaker panel. So I am a little stumped.

My next step is to run the generator for current..
and one by one flip off the 15 AMP breakers and see what works and what doesn't.
If the converter does not work when I flip off a breaker then I think I may know where the 'one' wire in the wago really goes.

Anything dumb I shouldn't do in the above scenario?
