Our salem cruise lite outlets are not working. Pushed gfi in bathroom but no luck. I'm guessing that is also causing the micro and TV to not work as well. Has anyone had a similar issue?
 
Does anything else work on 120 volts? Is shore power connected and breaker on the post OK? Is the power cable correctly plugged in on both ends? Have you checked the breakers in the power distribution panel? Are you running the generator and have an EMS system that will disconnect AC if there is no ground. Most generators do require a ground-to-neutral jumper when using an EMS system.

Troubleshooting is done by the process of elimination. Just take it one step at a time. As they say "it ain't rocket science".

Usually there is more than one GFI outlet. Some of them are hidden in out of sight places.
 
Im guessing there is no EMS on this unit, so if everything checks out at the pedestal, the next thing to check would be your transfer switch if it has one. If it doesnt have a transfer switch the next place to check would the main breaker in the trailer electical panel. So at this point it would be time to break out the multi-meter and trace the problem to the source and if this isn't a skill you posess its time for a qualified electrician. But maybe you’ll get lucky and find that hidden gfi….

Also year, make and model are always helpful. I know this is a 26’ Forest River, so at this point the year and model would be helpful and also any electrical mods, improvements, or additions. Also did you buy it new or ismit possible a past owner made some mods?
 
Not trying to be snarky but those outlets and appliances won't work unless you are plugged into a 120v power source.

If you are plugged into a power source then check for a tripped breaker on the power pedestal and then check the main circuit breaker in the trailer. Best way to check them is to turn them to off and then back to on.
