Does anyone have experience with Keystone trailers (2005 model)... the battery is connected properly, but nothing DC works in the trailer.

Any ideas would be helpful. Is there a Master 12VDC breaker / fuse somewhere?

Find the converter and check the fuses. I had a fuse that was improperly installed and it was causing me the same problem.

Be sure the battery is connected properly. There is usually a diagram on the rig at the battery area. The correct hookup actually includes reversing the cables as the diagram shows. If this is correct go to your fuses at the breaker box. You will probably find one for the inverter is blown. I had to disconnect the batteries, change the fuse and reconnect the batteries. This was because Sears hooked up my battery cables wrong and blew the fuse.
Good luck.

Mine is an '08 and it has a fuseable link about 2' from the battery back along the frame.It's a brass strap that will melt through if it shorts out,don't know if yours has one there or not.
