Outside outlet not working

[sidekick41]

We have a 2015 Thor Challenger 37LX. The outside outlet and the one above the kitchen sink both worked during our last trip but this time neither worked. I decided to check the bathroom GFCI and it was good. Both bathroom outlets worked great. Before I open up both outlets is there something else other than a loose wire which may be causing a problem?

Look for a second GFCI outlet. Our 2015 37ND had 2.

You asked, but the GFCI could also fail, only removing it and testing that it does pass on the power to the Load terminals is the way to check it.
Posting your problem and actually going out and removing the problem outlets just reminds others they should do the same before a problem develops. A loose wire in an outlet can lead to burnt wiring and extra problems, so preventative maintenance never hurts... unless you do it so much you wear the product out!


Good catch!
