Hi, I have a 2014 Winnebago Adventurer 37F with a Ford chassis. I have no power to the chassis switch. My batteries are fully charged and I am getting 13 volts to all cables. This happened after a rain storm but not a heavy one. I have checked out the switch and swapped it with the house switch and it works fine. My front curtains are electric and they don't work. I checked all breakers under the inverter and they are OK. I checked the large fuses under the hood and they are OK. The positive cable goes to a 3 inch long fuse and there was no power on the other side so I jumped the other side to bypass but no luck. I don't have any headlights or signal lights and nothing works on the dashboard. I have someone coming tomorrow but he will be late and it is the last day at my campsite?? LOL. Any help would be appreciated.

Has there been any work done on the batteries?
Have you checked the large fuse?
Inverters usually work off coach batteries.

I think I know the cause, heavy rain storm last night and my window was leaking and ran down the door to mirror switch and shade switch. Batteries are fine. What large fuse are you talking about?

If your ignition switch was off, water should have no immediate effect.
Locate your ignition relay. It energizes when ignition switch is in the one position.

I hired Vacation Savers, Dru and Scott and they found fuses blown and a solenoid that was toast. I never use the shut off switch so I had them put the wires together and eliminated the switch. Problem solved and very happy with their service. Also found a leak by drivers door that may have caused the short
