No power! Plugged in to shore power, but have nothing.

Is it maybe as simple as just a dead, sulfated battery?

Have had the same battery all 6 years with not much maintenance done to it.

Two simple tests...

Unplug from shore power, do your 12v systems run?
Disconnect the battery and plug shore power back in.. do your 110v outlets work?

If the answers are Yes/No, then you may have a problem with your shore power outlet, cable or 110 breakers.
If No/Yes, then you may well have a bad battery or charger. Try a external charger, see if it recovers. If it does, you may have a converter issue.
If No/No.. look for fuses or breakers that may have popped..

If your plugged in everything should work, even with a bad battery.

So I would start with breakers. Both at the supply, and the main breaker inside the PU.

Get a inexpensive volt meter or som type plug in indicator. This will quickly show you where the problem is located.

Thanks

Thanks, all!

Problem solved.

1) I had no power when plugged in to shore power.
2) Battery tested very low on multimeter.

So, I purchased a new battery. Which allowed me to pop up the camper and check the breakers, and one of them was tripped.

So, now, I have battery and shore power!
