My mother just bought her first RV, and drove it from NY to TX. It did alright, however there is a small issues with the campers electrics. It is a '95 Ford E-350 chassis Hornet. The front half of the outlets in the RV as well as the TV up front do not work. I'm guessing its a C/B, I just have no idea where to start looking for it. I've been through the manual for the truck, but I couldn't find anything in there for the camper part. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
There will be a panel somewhere with both 110v circuit breakers and 12v fuses. Common locations are under the oven or fridge in the cabinet face. I don't think it can be tucked away in a cabinet anywhere but it may be painted the same color as the cabinets to blend in. If it's not a circuit breaker, look for a tripped GFCI outlet, too.
 
Also be aware that the front TV is usually on an interlock and will not get power if the ignition key is on,  I once started to remove the front TV because I thought something was wrong with it until I remembered that.
 
Appreciate it. I found the RV's fuse box under the bed in the back. All fuses checked out good, so I went looking for a GFCI. The first outlet I looked at that had no power had a sticker on it saying it was a GFCI protected outlet. I found the GFCI in the bathroom...it was tripped. Thanks for the help. :)
