 Thanks tom, yes we switched the hot 1 with hot 2 and what didn't work before then worked and what did work no longer did. 2 years ago I had a power problem during the blizzard I liked to have froze to death. I went through 5 RV techs @125 trip charge and 150 an hour. It's another 125 trip charge if they have to get a part and come back. And if that hour is only 15 minutes it's still 150. Then I drove to Colorado Springs and got screwed even worse. He charged me 3600 to put a used board in the inverter. Then I found out a new inverter was only 1200. So I'm a little Leary of RV techs . I really do appreciate you and all the time you have spent helping me. Right now I'm just switching extention cords around to what we need until I can afford to fix it. Thank you tom. 

Thank all of you for all your hours trying to understand my problem. It did help alot. It's time for an electrician. It's out of my pay grade. You guys were awesome and I would make you all a cake if I had power. Thank you. I'll let you know what they find when I find someone to come look at it.

Ok switched the black wires. Had power to the bedroom tv and gfi in bath. And no power to micro. So line 1 is not sending power through.. O k now what does that mean?

Am I switching the 2 black out wires.?

I can do the reverse line 1 and 2. I just had to read it again to make sure what you were saying for sure. On that strip there is a jumper a black jumper . do I do anything with the jumper or not?

I found 5 outlets in bedroom. Two on the dresser wall one is a punch through loop outlet , the other is high and came from the loop outlet then goes to the right. Then the washer dryer outlet. We took out the washer dryer( it didn't work). Then to j box 3 & 4 under the bed. No power to either box. It seems like all the outlets and lights on the 20 amp line work it's the ones on the 15 that don't work. I think I might be in too deep opening the inverter. I'm no sparky. Before I do anymore I have to read more so I understand what your saying.

 We're working with 2 half brains which doesn't always make a whole one. Just found another outlet way up high behind the box built to hold the new flat tv that was installed. I have been plugging my tv into the outlet right at the counter top level. And that one has no power either. The tv one has no power either so off to the j box now.

. so I'll do what you said to That makes sense thank you..... Finally. Ok bedroom tv is dead. Going to lowes then back to check everything you said. Thank you Tom and everyone for taking your time to help me. I really appreciate it. I would make you all a cake if I had power.

Well Tom 2 half brains and one whole brain should be enough to figure it out.

Going to Lowe's for a tester and figure out how to work it. And start there. I do not get electricity at all. It makes me feel very stupid. 

My monitor panel has been out for 3 years. I was planning on getting to that next and this happened. 

my 78 YO brain like "pictures and colors"... LOL

I'm 63 and I dont understand any of this at all. Bouts to toss a match in and go shopping.

When I took off the GFI in the bathroom it was dark and I didn't pay attention to load and line wires. Now I don't know which one is which because it has no hot wire it's no power to outlet.

Yes that made sense but it did not work. Still no outlets. However we did find a hole shooting water inside behind the fridge from icemaker. Could that have shorted out something and blew all of them. The GFI is right next to the fridge. 

It looks to be the same one you have.

Yes only 50 amp at pedestal as this is mobile home park not standard RV park. 

Yes that made sense but it did not work. Still no outlets.

Tom is right, you're apt to run into it being a GFCI that will not cooperate with your heater.   I haven't had the occasion to try this but I believe a workaround might be possible with a 30amp to 20amp dogbone adapter, providing a 30amp receptacle is available at the pedestal.

No it's only 50.amp at pedestal. 

It's warm out today. I'll be outside checking other stuff. If anyone has an idea I appreciate all your time trying to help.

Richard makes some valid points.  And your knowledge and comments also indicate some better than perhaps average expertise.  I did have to help a member resolve an issue on a MH that sounds vaguely familiar. The circuit was NOT a typical “walk in the park” variety.  So, I will address this from two perspectives.

First….the problem you are having COULD not be related to the GFCI swap out.  So, lets deal with the usual suspects there.  The GFCI circuits actually are downstream circuits that are “passed through” the Inverter.  When you are on shore or genny, the 30Amp breaker is supplying voltage, current, power or whatever you call it….to the internal outlets.  These include the ones close to the sinks, the microwave, the icemaker and such.  Based on my recollection of the power circuit from the inverter, your “maze” of outlets had one “standalone” with NO downstream or other “Load” receptacles. It also had two GFCI’s that did…but one was only one….in addition it MAY have had an outlet that was NOT GFCI required.  YES….it was a mystery….

SO….assuming that you know that the 30  Inverter breaker is the source….then that also assumes that you know that the Intellitec EMS gets a “load” or current measurement via a toroidal coil located in the main panel.  So, you SHOULD, if the Inverter Charger was on an charging….or if an AC or water heater or refrigerator heating (assuming you have a gas/electric model) have seen a current draw…and there is nothing, unless you disconnected the harnesses or pigtails from the main EMS board that wuoud ave disconnect the coil or removed it.  The current coil is on the neutral. Just because the Magnum is “1A” doesn’t mean there is not a smidge more…and unless everything else was not on….BTW, even the Standby Mode of a TV or other home entertainment device will draw miniscuke amounts.

MY SUGGESTION. Locate the EMS Board. It is behind the brown panel cover.  Obviously no SHORE or genny on.  I recommend turning off the Salesman switch snd then the house disconnect battery switch.  There is a 3 amp fuse on the board….lower right in the panel.  I also pull the 3 or 4 connectors.  Leave it for 5 or so minutes to drain any stored or residual electrical charge or a “Gremlin”. Reconnect the plugs, then the fuse.  Turn on the battery disconnect switch and then turn back on the salesman switch..if you have not bypassed it.

Apply shore.  Then turn something like the water heater or use the microwave.  That USUALLY resets it

Well that did not change anything. Will check the other things you said tomorrow and get back with those results. Took off the GFI in the bathroom again to make sure it wasn't getting any line power and it does not. 

I apologize . I do not understand the quote thing and I mashed in the wrong block.

This the back side of the panel. This is the ems . I don't see a 3 amp fuse. Am I in the wrong panel? Are you talking about the the fuse panel? Or monitor panel? I got lost. 

I do not have the ice maker plugged in at all. The water heater works. I assume it's on LP but it also plugs in and the water is hot. It has power. The micro has power and the one in the night stand has power and the block heater has power. The rest are all out. I'm going to try the ems reset .

Not that we have been able to find. According to the wiring diagram there is supposed to be one by the kitchen sink bit it's just a regular outlet. This happened 2 nights ago while we were sleeping and nothing unusual was pulling power. How do we see why the GFI won't reset?

Yes we have checked that?  Unless there is some we are unaware of. The wiring showed 3 gr8 outlets but we only found two . one I in the bathroom and one in the rear compartment. The gfi in the outside reset but the one in the bath will not.

Hi I'm having almost the same problem. I changed the GFI in bathroom to a new one. Did nothing. Lights all work and the outlet for micro works and 1 outlet by the bed and the bay heater outlet works. None of the breakers are tripped nor the inverter. The ems is lit up but shows no loads. The batteries are charging. I was thinking the transfer switch but its the same on generator or batteries. The fridge is on LP now as it went with the outlets. We plugged into a different 50 amp plug and it didn't change. Any suggestions would be great.
