1999 Thor Four Winds 5000 21RB

I'm troubleshooting some electrical issues with my 21RB and after checking out the breaker panel I came across a breaker for the GFI. I checked all the outlets and tore some panels up and cannot find where the GFI is located. Any 21RB owners have a suggestion? TIA

That's not a GFI breaker; that's a normal breaker that feeds a GFI circuit. Look at your outlet in the bathroom - that's usually the beginning of the GFCI chain and has the TEST and RESET buttons.

On a 22 year old rv there is a very good chance the gfci outlet is but a distant memory, Replaced when it malfunctioned with just plain old outlet.
Or the gfci breaker was replaced with a plain old breaker.

Turn the breaker off, see what doesn't work. Viola!

FINALLY....started troubleshooting again my wiring problem and decide to check the VCC for the led dome lights. The LED lights are fed with an orange traveller thought out the RV. Checked into one of the dome light leds and 3 wires cut, hanging bare and wired with cheapo wire nuts that appeared too big. Replaced and reconnected with IN-SURE 3 & 4 port connectors. NOW all ceiling lights work, stove vent fan & light work AND my remote switch for hot water heater works. HAPPY DAY, cigar & Old No. 7 time.

AND replaced GFI breaker with RV GFI breaker and redressed wires, all outlets work. Google In-Sure conn at Home Depot.

Wonder why those wires were cut?? Those scenarios give me pause... especially when reconnecting them...

But if all works now... Great!!

First Major road trip today and "discovered" stopped for refuel and heard a kathunk from the back of the coach. The rear light lens fell off the bracket. Further exam found that it had dried glues on two sides. So I guess it wasn't the first time. When we camped for the night and connected to city water around 40 lbs. The toilet water supply line had a pinhole leak. And the list is growing.
Question is the tailight assembly a universal part I have a 1999 Thor Four WInds 5000 21 ft. TIA
