2015 39 RSSB3 w/ GFCI Issue

None of the GFCI outlets have power, the GFCI breaker in the panel is tripped and will not reset. Is it possibly a bad breaker or more complex issue? Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks

Altho my Suites is much older, the GFCI in my panel did malfunction, requiring replacement. To get the correct one, it will be necessary to take the original to a real electric supply shop, not Lowes or such, and have them replace it with an exact model.'
At least, that has been my experience--and get ready for a $60-$80 cost.

Thanks - located the problem to a poor connection in one of the GFCI outlets.

Glad it worked out to be an easy fix. How did you figure out where it was?

Started by checking each outlet, found the problem on second one. I was also surprised to see the cheap quality of the components used in this RV.

You got that right! I just tapped my 220V dryer plug box for my new Bosch washer that needs 220V 20A and guess what the 4sq metal box was NOT grounded!

Since leaving the DRV factory in May I have become "My Own Warranty Station". Plenty of things to make RIGHT!!!

There is a lot of stuff packed into an rv. Then it rolls down the road creating a situation a normal home would only experience during a big earthquake. Yes there are going to be failures, yes there are more expensive parts that could be used. BUT I still feel the DRV is quite a bit ahead of the competition.

Yes Sir. That is why we bought DRV. I've seen the same opinions as yours many times.

I'm with rvndave. I make a point to go around and though various areas where I think the RV is stressed after long trips. Under the couch, loose screws, slide rollers, hydraulic fluid, windows. Yes, I'm a little anal about things. Just made a 2500 mile trip and will spend 1-2 days doing my inspection. Already notices a loose wood valance, two broke trim screws and I'm not looking yet. My expectation is this is normal. A brick/stick home would fall apart with the shaking, constant road bumps, stoping starting etc.

Don't make excuses! They could make these hold together if the WANTED to.

And, even with all the road construction the roads are getting worse every year. Why can't the road builders make smooth transitions between bridges and the road? We hit some of those transitions and feel like we hit a 4 foot pot hole. I have an air hitch, removed the overload springs and installed air bags, installed new shocks and had MorRyde install their IS suspension on the RV and it's still bad. Some complain about the trailer weight AND about things that fall apart. To me that's like complaining about road construction AND the condition of the roads. You can't have it both ways. For me, I'll take the construction delays any day.

Sorry about being off topic, couldn't help myself. Carry on.

My compliant has been what happens after a water pipe for an example has been dug and filled in across a road and usually a new paved road. I was in charge of building a union hall and had to dig across the road that I drove as a 16 year old everyday growing up down the street. I decided this was be my test so after the job was completed and my mother lived in the same house I drove many many times and no bump because the dirt was packed correctly. I also agree as above the bang entering and exiting an overpass. Airhitch really helps but why can't this issue be figured out.

Money and lack of oversight--indeed, the transition between ground and bridge is more often than not a 'jarring' experience. Usually, the bridge is very solid and stationary--its the ramp compaction leading up to it that sinks/rises with ground conditions.

And the creation of a 'hump' or 'dip' when cutting into a roadway is very hard to avoid--there just isn't enough money in the normal contract for proper compaction. This is why there is almost no new install of pipes/conduits by cut--it is done now by horizontal directional drilling. But, there still is the new housing addition where they put all the streets and curbing in, then come in and cut the street for utilities--????

But, don't worry, I hear they are going to expand Obamacare to cover highway repairs....
