I have a problem with power. I was fixing some plumbing lines so I had all the lights on and the stereo going and was running the pump. I was plugged into shore power and then went outside and unplugged because I wanted to see how the pump would run while on battery power with my new plumbing fix. BUT, when I went back in I had ZERO power. First thing I thought of was that I blew a breaker because I had the lights and stereo on but I checked the breakers and all fuses and noting is blown. Anyone know what happened? Battery is at about 2/3 charge, so it's not a dead battery. Is there a reset somewhere or something?
There's probably a fuse near the batteries. Everything just went dark one night. Pulled the fuse, and it was good, but the blades were corroded slightly - sanded them clean and re-installed the fuse, and everything was fine again.

I'm just waking up to get ready for work so really didn't read it in depth, except the part about power - you did check your GFI receptacles resets right?it was probably not that question you were asking, I'll read it again in another cop of coffee or 2.

Zero power meaning no AC or DC power? Even with no AC power you should still have DC from the battery. There's an inline fuse under the trailer on our system between the battery and power panel; and two 40a battery protection fuses in the panel itself. Blown fuses are indicated by red LEDs in the panel if their switches are on.
Tripping the main AC breaker is hard to do without running the Air Conditioner, water heater, and microwave all at the same time. A dead short, usually announced by a big blue spark, will trip it.
You need to cycle the circuit breakers to reset them as they sometimes are tripped but don't look it.

Check the blade fuses in the inverter box as well. I lost power in the pop up, the in line blade fuse was fine, but there was a blown fuse in there that shut everything down.

I have a fuse for the tongue jack, and yet another for the main power. The main power fuse was fine (not blown), but the blades were slightly corroded. Cleaned, re-installed, and everything was fine after that.

I have no DC power at all. There is one fuse between the battery and power panel (that I can see) and it is fine, not blown and no corrosion. When you say cycle the circuit breakers, do you mean shut them all off and turn them all back on one at a time? If so, I did that too. I have a fuse panel beside the main breakers with LED lights, but no lights are on and I pulled it fuse to check them out. There's got to be another fuse somewhere?? My power panel looks exactly like yours does. Man, this is frustrating!
