    1986 5th wheel electrical issue
    Hi there, I have a 1986 Konar 5th wheel where I have 5 outlets in the kitchen that don't work. I have checked the breaker and it has power coming out. There are no GFI outlets and I can't find a reset. Can anyone help me out here?

    Need to check all connections at splices, devices, and junction boxes looking for a open, loose, or broken connection, beginning at the panel and work your way through the circuit to the outlets, assuming you checked the connections in the outlet box.

    Then there is either a open connection or a broken wire after the breaker but before the outlets.

    If you get back with more detail on the circuit wiring, boxes, etc. there are several members here that are excellent with step by step testing circuits.

    Note colors of wires, how many wires,what goes where, as much as possible.

    Pictures are a bonus.

    So a boat and a camper?

    I am in the wrong business.

    I was assuming by the name.

    Just being a smartass.

    I never worked on any wiring in a mobile anything. Car wiring makes me run screaming into the night, so I am useless in any other advice on the wiring inside.

    But wires are wires, any break it stops working.
