Hi, checked the EHU, that’s ok, fuzes fine but still no 240v inside, is there a RCD in the Itenio and if so where is it

It will be with the circuit breakers, usually very similar looking with a little test button on it 👍
 
The only breaker is a standard breaker, and that’s in the back garage. RCD breakers look different
 
All motorhomes less than ten years old will be fitted with some sort of breaker but not all with test buttons. Some will trip internally with moving the switch. They will need to be turned off and on again to reset.
 
Normally inside within a metre of the ehu socket

You must have a separate 230v consumer unit somewhere.
The converter won't fit just one MCB breaker with all circuits attached to that.
MCB is for overload only and offers no earth fault protection.
 
Yep , the MCB is in the garage, a breaker with a number if fuzes. I was talking about a RCD which would have tripped to stop power coming in through the EHU
 
Sounds daft, but is the EHU cable pushed on far enough?

Helped a few people on sites before where this was all it was.
 
Yep, obviously I suspected the cable, fitting and continuity. Checked that. The only thing I can think of is the RCD has tripped, and that’s my thread, trying to find it

As already said, the converter won't fit a single breaker.
The RCD will be in a consumer box with 2 to 4 MCBs.
It could be anywhere, under seating, in a cupboard, in a locker, under the front seats.....anywhere.
Easiest way to find it is trace the incoming hookup lead which should go directly to the consumer unit before anywhere else.
 
Our 2019 Burstner has just two mcb’s and a trip all in one small unit

Do you have a picture of the MCB? Does it have a 'Test' button on it, maybe it's an RCBO, which is a combined RCD and MCB.
 
Some EHU points need to have the plug twisted after it is pushed in, have you tried that?
 
It’s a straight forward push in. Used the same cable for 6 years. Never had a problem

Are you sure the EHU point is working? Do you have enough reach on the cable to try a different one?
 
I have known electrical trips that still appear to be in the upward on position when they have tripped. Try turning them off and back on again, if there is no click when you turn them off but some resistance when you re-engage them it might be the source of the problem.
