Scrooge517,



Another less common issue that can cause a group of 110 outlets to not be hot on shore power but work correctly on generator power is the motorized shore power cord retract reel. You have not yet stated if the outlets in question work properly on generator power, and if you have a power retract of the cord on your coach.


In my case where I was living aboard for long periods, the cord was extended and left in place, so the brushes in the reel were at the same wiper segment all the time. Apparently the brush or the commutator strip or both oxidized enough for me to loose one phase of the 220 shore power connection. I was told these reels are not repairable at that level of failure, so a new reel and cord got my coach fully functional again with regards to all the 110 outlets and appliances.


Hope this helps... At least let us know if your outlets work as they should on generator power.


Chuck
