GFCI resets for an Escape21

Where are the GFCI resets on a 2015 Escape 21? A resistance heater I was using tripped the GFCIs at the sink and adjacent to the microwave.

Also, are there any non GFCI protected outlets in the trailer?

There are two standard GFCI plugs. One is right under the kitchen counter. The other is outside on the passenger side between the axles and the rear of the trailer.

And with the newer trailers, at least my 2017 21, the output of the outside GFCI is used to power the under sink receptacle, requiring you to go outside to reset it.

Yes, all the other outlets that didn’t stop working when the GFI tripped.
Seriously though there should be a few outlets that are not GFI protected...at least there are on the trailers I’ve seen.

Well, I’ve tripped two so far, so I must have two GFCIs to reset.

A GFCI is not an overcurrent device , it is designed to protect human life not equipment.
Our escape 21 has an exterior GFCI receptacle that also provides GFCI protection for the kitchen counter receptacle
If my memory is correct your Escape has 2 - 15 amp 120 V receptacle circuits
If you lost power to all the 120 VAC receptacles in your trailer ,I doubt your problem is a tripped GFCI

Thanks Steve. Thinking the same. Also if the OP has the inverter with all outlet option they could have a breaker tripped in the remote mounted sub-panel (typically two 15A breakers) and not in the traditional WFCO power center breaker line up.
