Check the circuit breakers and there is also a breaker on the generator. Start there.

On some units, the inverters have a circuit breaker that has to be reset manually. If the breakers in the coach and on the generator are okay, check the inverter. You can usually tell, because the outlets near the passenger seat won't work and the driver will. Also, bedroom outlets, tv and Micro won't work.

As a note to Fred's comment, on my Challenger the passenger's side 110 outlet is not wired to or through the inverter. That outlet only provides power when connected to shore power or when running the generator.

That is one thing I hope to change in the near future because that would enable travelling without having to run the generator to charge the wife's tablet.

We have iPads and they can be charged from a 5-volt outlet. Our 2015 Windsport has and outlet in the dash computer compartment and two in the bedroom. Can your wife's tablet be charged from a 5-volt (USB) outlet?

My wife uses a Microsoft Surface Pro using 110. I am going to check to see if it has an option for plugging into a 12 VDC power source. I on the other hand use an iPad as my tablet and don't have a problem.

I will say that I haven't looked under the computer work station top to see any charging ports. I'll have to check the coach this afternoon to see what is under there.
