2014 ITASCA ELLIPSE - NO POWER TO DISHWASHER AND DRYER

[eric@babin.com]

I have a 2014 Itasca Ellipse (Winnebago Tour) 42QD.

The dishwasher and the dryer have no power. 

Both have a 15amp circuit breaker, and the breakers are side by side. Both are NOT tripped. I reset to verify.

My guess is that a GFCI circuit it tripped. I have found 2 of these. One is in the 1/2 bath, the other is in the master bath.  There must be a third one.  Where the heck is it?

I've searched the operator's manual but it is very vague as to the location of the outdoor GFCI.

OK... seems the park power was missing a hot line.

Frustrating , but an easy fix. The EMS system reading should have indicated an issue indicating the missing L1 or L2 source. 

Thanks for posting the information on the cause !

Another example of why you need a Progressive Surge Protector at the park power post, even if you have a hard wire SP.

Yes.... didn't consider that could be a problem until searching for GFCI for an hour. It was quite strange.... 7 volts was coming through on L1.

Agreed.  Time for an investment to be made.

May I suggest the SSP 50XL, it's UL Certified & meets CSA standards!  If you have a hard wired unit, it covers everything the XL dosn't.

Not sure if that model would have provided protection against a low-voltage situation. Here's the unit we use, specifically to avoid situations like the problem you had with the low-voltage on one leg.

In you electronic management panel you should have a power management system display. If you scroll through you will see L1, L2 - Voltage on each and the amps they are drawing. After I fire up I always scroll to that reading and watch when I have to turn things on/off. With 3 AC's running I pull 41 amps and that will only work on pedestals that have 120v line input, not 115 or weak breakers.

I ran all 3 today,  including dash air and 2 portable fans!  Ruidoso, NM to Abilene, TX.  10KW generator.  Now running 2 AC's on campground post.  It's 100 out there! 

Wayne is right, you got to show 45/45 at 117/122 volts and 60 Hz!
