Travel Trailer Outlet Problems
Electrical Project: I have a 38′ Franklin travel trailer which suddenly lost power to several electrical outlets while several others work fine. I have checked breakers & power source. I have isolated the beaker associated with the dead outlets & have swapped it with another working breaker. The problem continues. I have checked 2 of the 4 outlets concerned & connections seem fine. Is there a method of finding the culprit by using a circuit tester? Or what would you suggest?
Thank you, Bill.
