21NE 120V kitchen circuit

[Crazypill]

Hey folks,

Scrambling to look through the manual but thought I'd put the word out here in case someone has a quick reply -- got a bird in the oven and wife flicked on the vacuum cleaner from the same circuit in the kitchen. Power went out, don't have any 120v at the kitchen area. Checked the WFCO power center and the outside GFCI outlet, and those circuit breakers look fine. Any suggestions welcome, please help save our dinner!

Even with the inverter on now (it was off while connected to 30A shore power), the convection oven display still won't turn on and the outlets have no power. Nothing relevant in the manual, and I reset the Main 30a circuit breaker on the WFCO power center.

The kitchen plug is definitely protected with the exterior GFI plug. Maye try tripping and resetting it. I know you checked it and the breaker, but not really much it can be.

Maybe check the exterior plug to see if it is hot.

Another thought is to check the campsite breaker.

It's not live, and the test/reset does nothing.

Checked campsite breaker as well earlier, all good. Reset it anyway, and tried bypassing EMS.

Found it, an extra 2 circuit breakers both 15a on the underside of the dinette framing.

Good stuff.

Honda Ridgeline TV? Honestly- how is that working out for a 21 NE, arguably the heaviest Escape bumper pull trailer. Many report 5300 #'s wet weight.

Works great. 4600lbs wet and fully loaded. 3750 lbs dry. Pulls great around 67mph in 5th gear. Passing the rockies beyond 9000 feet ASL it had to work, 50-55 in 4th. No transmission fluid temp issues with (2021+) factory transmission cooler. Comfortable, quiet, reliable Honda. Gas mileage suffers beyond 62-65 mph, expect around 13-14. If you stick to 62 mph like the Owners manual suggests you should net around 15mpg so long as you aren't going up steep grades. 1700 miles towed thus far. Plenty of power on tap, rarely even had to hit VTEC unless I wanted to.

That was my guess. Other owners should know that these extra breakers in subpanel are only included if one has the inverter option serving all outlets. Thankfully Escape started putting a sticker inside the WFCO breaker panel that says "add'l breakers in subpanel under bench". (It's usually on a blank breaker slot. This sticker was relocated when I put in an extra breaker.)
