Default 120 volt electrical problems

I just got a 2000 Towlite 260TFB. When I looked at it last week before I bought it everything was working. When I got home with it today I plug it into 120 volt and I no longer getting any 120 voltage. All of my 12 volt is working. Do I need to plug in something else or turn on a switch? There is a plug in the back by the bathroom that is not hook into anything, do I need to plug this into something? The manual is not very useful on this. Thanks

Could the electrical cable in the back of the camper be for the air conditioning? There should be an outlet just below the cable probably a little out of the way that accepts the plug, then try to turn on your air conditioner.

In our 2206Towlite, there is a large black electrical chord in the wall of the bathroom, that when pulled out gets plugged into an electrical outlet on the side of the wardrobe. This gets power to the air conditioning unit.

Did you check the circuit breakers on the electrical panel? Switch them off then on to make sure they are on. There are also GFCI outlets that can trip, make sure they are reset. The cord you are referring to is for the AC. This can be embarrassing, but is the outlet the trailer is plugged into putting out power?

I reset all the GRCI outlets and I got my 120 volt back on. I got the AC working also. Is there a way to see if the refrigerator is working? It is around 30 deg. outside today and I do not see any type of light and I got it set to AC power. Thanks

If the fridge is working you will feel heat coming from the upper outside vent. Or, pull the lower vent cover off and feel above where the flame is located, The chimney.

It's cold enough today that the fridge may not turn on. you may have to wait for the weekend warm-up.
