Happened to me last week. It turned out to be the breaker at the campground we stayed. Breaker was replaced and everything worked fine. Test your GFI, if now power is coming through it will not reset.

That is exactly the problem. No power to the GFI, so it will not reset. But, why no power coming in??? I think there is another breaker as I cant imagine that LL the brekaers are on ONE 20 amp circuit. The manula says there are TWO GFI outlets. I would asssume that each had it's own circuit breaker. But, I can only find ONE GFI outlet. But, half the electrical is hot.. So 
I was in the compartment that the converter is installed in messing around. But, the outlet that powers the converter is still hot.

A thought?
Sometimes there is a GFI outlet out in your exterior fridge compartment, or sometimes in an underneath storage bay.
I read once where a guy found the tripped GFI flush with the ceiling in a storage bay that he never knew was even there... he had to get down on his knees with a flashlight to see the dark brown GFI outlet way up inside the bay! He never knew it was even there till it had been tripped by plugging in two small electric heaters in two different outlets up above in the rig's interior. Go figger!
I know my folks have a GFI that is hidden up in a cabinet next to the microwave that can sometimes trip. It for use I guess with a coffee maker?

No power to GFIC.... check fuses on the inverter... one for input and probably two for output.

My bet the "Inverter" breaker is off or the inverter itself is turned off at the unit or remote station. It is going to be something simple.

No inverter. Just factory converter.
Thanks.

If the manual says there are 2 GFIs then you need to find the second outlet. I have 2 on the same circuit (Itasca) so if your second one is upstream of the first one then that can certainly cause your problem. If you have a schematic of your coach, that will indicate where the second one is. If you don't have your schematics you should get them as they are of tremendous help.
