  • Bay Outlets

    Posted by Dawn on July 24, 2016 at 8:15 pm

    We had bay outlets, now we don’t. We have checked the breaker box, all good. We have checked the GFCI plugs throughout the coach(the ones we could find) and nothing.

    Help!!

    In your electrical panel inside the bus, are the buttons green that says electrical outlets or maybe Bay outlets?

    We don’t have a button that says bay outlets on the panel. Our bay outlets are on the iPad controller. They are blue on there because the on the breaker panel they have been made not to be able to shut off. Our last bus had a switch on the panel. This one doesn’t.

    I have zero knowledge of a Vantare but I can assure you there is going to be a circuit breaker for the bay outlets. The ipad is not a circuit breaker.

    You probably have a hidden GFCI tripped, sometimes easy to overlook the plug.

    Check
    for GFCI in entertainment bay, check in Curb Side water bay. On Panel
    by stove check for switch that says Right Bay, Left Bay, Rear Bay also check
    one that says something like Systems W/O Switch (would have to get correct
    wording from Bus) Another would say
    Systems with Switch. My battery charger
    outlet is connected to the one that says w/o switch. (ask me how I know that
    L) Vantare’ electrical
    system is different to say the least.

    Mine is a different vintage Vantare but it has a GFI tucked away a lower kitchen cabinet behind the trash can. It is hard to see and has several receptacles down stream from it.

    My Vantare is older than yours. However, i nthe electrical breaker box (mone is in rear closet) there are a number of GFI breakers. One of them does control the outlets in the bays. This might be the problem.

    So the way our bus is set up, is ver minimal breakers on the main panel. Then we use the ipad. If there is still a problem we go the “residential” breaker box in drivers side bay two. When we go down there some of the breakers have white posts sticking out because the previous owner had those set to not be able to be changed on the ipad. He said it overrode the ipad.

    So we went down there and looked at all the breakers and they were all normal except for the ones that the posts are out. (bayoutlets, refridgerator, etc)

    But you think there is a breaker in that box that will just be for gfci plugs? Or the other breaker panel board?

    Thanks

    Triple Foxtrot had the right answer! Entertainment GFCI plug popped!
