Hey Happy Campers!!
Today's Episode we are troubleshooting an issue with the 12 volt power in our RV Camper. Here is the issue... Brand Spakin NEW battery... Slides work, yet NO other 12 volt functions work in the camper (Lights, Fridge, Blower for heater, etc.) I'm seeing 12 volt power leaving the battery, but NO 12 volt power is at the invertor / convertor inside the camper. This ruled out a bad invertor / convertor and led me to believe we had a cut wire somewhere... However the solution was much easier and cost nothing to fix... with that said check out the video for the solution... Thanks for watching!!

Thanks for this - Camping World telephone support (the number on an inside cabinet door sticker) was of no help for me either. We got to our camping spot that is 1.5 hours away from home and the battery was dead and no 12v. The tech on the phone had me do a bunch of stupid S_i_ that didn't work, it was 100 degrees and about to pour rain, so we unhitched and went home. I'll see if that little 12v circuit breaker is the problem in the morning. I googled this and have a much more clear understanding of 12v RV systems. Tomorrow, I'll check that little button first, then hook up a battery charger to get things going. The slide out covers up the Fridge and the Electrical Panel, so it's serious to get it going first thing in the morning.
Bummer! I hope it something simple like the breaker. Thanks for watching and let us know what you find out!
@@MileHighCampers So it wasn't the breaker! Turns out the battery cable that goes from the breaker to the power converter area was crimped between the under-flooring and the I-beam frame right near where it runs up inside the trailer. I was able to pull the wire out about 1/2" so it's not shorting anymore, but it'll need to be re-routed. Got 12v back so we're good to go for the weekend. 2019 Coleman 3rd time camping and about 300 miles.
Thank you so much for sharing what you found! Glad you were able to isolate the issue! I initially thought mine may have been a cut power wire as well. Have a great trip and thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!!
NICE, I have never seen one like that.
Thank you so much for sharing this video I think this is very useful your video was very simple and also useful hello from Quebec Canada
This video may be five years old but it is still saving the day. I spent days looking for answers to this issue with my 2011 Palomino Stampede. I was getting ready to start pulling panels apart to look for frayed wires or tow it to the dealer where it would likely cost at least 100 just for the diagnosis. Literally took 30 seconds to crawl under the camper find the button and give it a push. Everything that should work from the battery now works!!!
I can't say thank you enough!!
I was SO frustrated with the same problem on my 2018 Winnebago Micro Minnie. Then I watched your video. Dude, if you were here right now, I'd give you the biggest hug, shake your hand, and offer to buy you lunch. My manual switch was in a metal electrical box underneath the trailer. I had to take the cover off and move all the wires just to see the little switch. I would have never found it without this video. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
My lithium battery voltage had gotten so low (below 9 volts) that the BMS put it to sleep and thus I had no 12-volt power in my RV. Nothing worked. After figuring out how to awaken the lithium battery and recharge it... I still had no 12 volt power to the coach. Now comes the good part. After watching your video I checked under the hood and right there before my eyes was the 12 volt safety breaker with a re-set switch on the side. Pushed it in and Voila... IT WORKED! Problem solved. Thanks
I’m grateful for people that make videos on solutions!
Chased this issue for 3 hours then stumbled on your video. Crawled under, pushed the button, and everything worked again. I couldn't help but to chuckle at how easy the fix was. Thanks man. Great video.
Glad the video helped you out! Thanks for the great feedback!!
Thank you for this detective work. I had the very same situation. Crawled under the trailer, found the manual breaker, pushed the button, and voila! Very, very helpful
You just made my day! I tried everything and then watched this, pushed the little stupid button, and boom 🎉 lights are on!
You saved me!!! This was my issue. I would have been so lost but found this in 5 minutes thanks to your video. The best.
This is the most effective, simple, and amazing explanation of the issues common amongst campers especially for new owners who purchased campers from private seller. They take off batteries, turn off switches, and do little things inside that's comfy for their needs but forget to tell the new buyer that. Sometimes they don't sell hoses, hide them inside, or take them off before the person picks up but was attached when viewing and purchase. It can send someone into a frenzy especially if they are learning. Thank you for this video. It confirms the very things so many are facing without anyone to speak to or resolve.
Thank you so much for the great feedback!! Thanks for watching and commenting!!
@@MileHighCampers you're welcome.
Perfect! I figured out the power wasn’t getting past this “breaker”, but I didn’t know it was a breaker. Reset the breaker like you described and everything now works again. Thank you!
Awesome, glad the video helped you out!! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to leave positive feedback!!
Wow! Excellent work! Thank you it was exactly the problem with our camper this morning. You eliminated a bunch of frustration
Thanks for watching and the great feedback, glad the video helped!
Dude, you are the bomb! I was about to replace my automatic transfer switch, then I found the reset button you described right near the coach battery. Doesn't even look like a reset switch, but I pushed it and everything is working now. Thanks!
Right on!! I'm so glad it worked and saved you some money!! Thanks for the positive feedback and for watching!!
You saved me a lot of trouble shooting time! My "manual DC breaker" was a bit further under the coach however very easy to find with the help of your video. Thanks!!!!!!!!!
Right on, glad it helped you out!!
Great information! I never know there was a reset button on that thing, I mean, seriously!
Anyways, your hard work will save a lot of people’s day. Thank you.
Thank you!!! This was super helpful and solved the issue I was having. Spent all night trying to track down the DC power problem. Finally just went to bed and figured I would need to take the trailer in for service. Was going to go get a generator for power and then ran across your video. Fixed! Thanks again!
Awesome!! Glad the video helped you out!! Happy Camping!!
Saved us from a freezing night! Had exactly the same issue and found button! Very happy! Thanks for your great AF video!
Awesome, I'm glad it helped you solve the issue. Thanks for watching and the good feedback!!
Sir. Great video. Just spent the last 3 hours trying to figure out my problem. Finally gave up after going to auto store to find out my battery was fine. Checked all fuses and wires and connections. Then went inside and said screw this shit and your video popped up when I searched in TH-cam. And man oh man. Went out pushed that lil button and trailer was like new again. Thank you for your help sir. GREAT VIDEO!! THANK YOU!!!
Right on!! SO glad it helped you take care of the issue!! Thanks for watching and for the positive feedback!!
Good video. Keep in mind its not an inverter but a converter. The converter changes AC volts to DC volts and acts to recharge the batteries when working properly. An inverter changes DC voltage to AC voltage to allow you to use low wattage 110v equipment. The manual breakers are referred to as “Short Stop” or “Bussman” breakers.
Great info, Thanks for sharing!!
You're the man!! Had the same problem this weekend. After watching your video I went hunting and to my relief mine was tripped
Best rv power/battery video on u tube sir. Short,descriptive,useful,to the point,good info. Your the man.
Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it and I am glad the video helped you out!!
Dude this just save my ass from running a generator for trivial things. Thank you so much posting this video, you enabled me to enjoy my memorial day weekend in the high country!
Awesome!! I'm glad you were able to resolve your issue and enjoy the high country!! There is no better place than spending time in the woods!! Thanks for the great feedback!!
Amazing!!!! Just saw this on my recommended viewing.....went outside and pushed the button! Problem fixed! Thanks a ton!
Right on!! Glad to helped out!! Thanks for the positive feedback!!
Simply amazing! Called every service department and zero help. Looked at 20 other videos and yours was the first to address this issue correctly. My beautiful camper is now back to perfection. I'll forward the wine and cheese basket ASAP! :-)
Awesome!! Really glad to hear my video helped you out!! I'll keep an eye out for the wine and cheese basket, LOL!! Thanks for the great comment, Happy Camping!!
Thank you! I knew I popped a circuit, but as you, I thought that was just a distribution block. Reset the switch and I'm back to enjoying my weekend.
Thank you!
Right on!! Glad it helped you out, thanks for watching and the positive feedback!!
You are a life saver! We had absolutely no idea what was going on because everything was working before. We thought our camping trip was ruined!
Right on!! Glad you got it figured out!! Happy Camping!!
Thank you so much for this video! Saved me a whole lot of hassle! I accidentally shorted the batteries when attaching the cables by touching my wrench to the terminals. I was going crazy looking all over trying to figure out why I didn't have any power. All of my breakers and fuses were good, but I didn't know about this one. Tapping the little button reset it and I'm good to go again!
Awesome, I'm really glad it helped you out!! Thanks for checking out my channel!!
Thank you so much. I was pulling my hair trying to figure this one out and your video showed me where to reset that breaker! Thank you
Awesome!! Glad the video helped you out.
Very helpful. We're broke right now and hoping this is our issue. Fingers crossed. I appreciate this video! Thanks for posting.
Hey Bella, I hope you guys get it fixed!! Thanks for the positive feedback on my video!!
Bruce from months ago
Everything still working
Camping world is no help just money stealer
Thank for your help again I want to join your club???
Thank you!! I learned how to troubleshoot and fix my trailer. I found a corroded wire at the reset breaker and a friend of mine helped me rewire it. Your video was a HUGE help!!
Dude… thank you so much for making this video. I actually did everything you just did including buying the new battery, which I needed. I went up and under my trailer, it was very similar to yours but didn’t see the button right away…. Looked at the other side and there is was. A click of the button with one finger tip, all fixed! I appreciate you sharing 🙏🏼 my next stop was the trailer dealership, you probably saved me $100! 👍🏼😁
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! I spent days trying to diagnose why my DC system wasn't working. You're video saved me a trip to the RV Service Dept!!
Awesome glad to hear the video helped you out!! Thanks for taking the time to comment with such great feedback!!
You are a life saver. I couldn’t figure out for the life of me what was going on. Sure enough, pressing that little button fixed it.
Awesome, glad the video helped you out!! Thanks for the great feedback!!
Thank you! I was looking everywhere for the problem after replacing my batteries, read the manuals checked voltage here there and everywhere, checked fuses then came in the house to see if there was a youtube vide on it. Amazing, you showed me the exact problem and fix. I don't know how you found that but I never would have seen it without your video. It worked and was so simple. Thanks so much for making this video.
I just recently watched your video as I was always having the same problem. Thank you for the video because this is the same problem with my trailer that it is now fixed. Thanks again
Right on!! Glad the video helped you out!! Happy Camping!!
I watched dozens of videos trying to find a fix for this problem but this was the only one that helped, after weeks and weeks of head scratching your video helped fix the problem in moments, thanks!
Right on!! Really glad my video helped you out!! Thank you for taking the time to leave a positive comment, I really appreciate it!!
Excellent this video sure saved me the headache of going to the dealership to figure out what was wrong very much appreciated👍👍 thank you!
Thank you so much for the great feedback glad to hear it helped you out!!
Super helpful! Followed the power lines with my multi-meter until I got to this breaker in my 05' Fleetwood Tioga. It was in the battery box (under the entry step), underneath a tangle of wires and relay boxes. Pressed the button and it fixed it. Bought a replacement at the local RV store for $5 out the door. 45 minutes from start to finish! This video saved me HOURS of troubleshooting. Thanks
Right on, glad to hear the video helped you out!! Thank you for sharing where you found the breakers on you Tioga, that is great info!! Great comment, Happy Camping!!
You just saved me from taking our rig to a shop. I had looked at so many things but due to where this breaker is I hadn’t seen the reset button. Your video solved the problem. THANK YOU!!!
Awesome, glad it helped and thanks for the great feedback!!
YOU ARE AMAZING I've had this issue on my camper ( I'm new to RV living for travel work) and have been fighting with this for about 3 months trying to to avoid service centers .THANK YOU
Another thanks for this! After 7 hours troubleshooting I TH-camd my problem and your video came up. Was exactly the issue. Thank you again for posting 🙌🏼
Glad it helped!!
Excellent job of describing the problem and the solution. I am sure you saved me several hours of troubleshooting and or replacing a relay that was only tripped as I was unaware of the the little circuit breaker button. All my 12 volt issues resolved with exception as to "why" did it trip. So far it hasnt tripped again but if so I suppose at that time I will have to try and find the underlying issue. Thanks again to you and TH-cam
Glad the video helped you out! I'm not sure what caused mine to trip but possible causes would be reconnecting a battery, adding connections to the battery for accessories like an electric tongue jack (for example). Could be something as simply as being plugged in at home and power surge that cause your house breaker to trip caused this breaker to trip... or could just be a faulty or dirty breaker possibly. I would retrace your steps over the course of the last time you used it, maybe something like those examples happened... just brain storming, sorry I could not be more help. Thanks for watching and contributing to the conversation!!
@@MileHighCampers Most likely it tripped under load when the voltage dropped (lower voltage draws more current). These breakers are designed to prevent your coach from burning down under low DC voltage yet high demand.
Although you posted this awhile ago there are still some of us who are learning how our campers work. Your video was a big help, so thank you. My travel trailer is set up much the same as yours; these same circuit breakers are located very near the battery which is currently at the front of the trailer. I am considering moving a new replacement lithium battery to the back of the trailer, where it is out of the elements and more secure. So now I have to relocate the wiring and these breakers to keep everything working. It's a bit of a challenge for us non-electrical types.................. Thanks again, Bob in Grand Rapids, MI
Your video saved me great amount of time and money. Went right to the relay outside and reset it!! Thank you
Awesome glad it helped!!
Thank you sooooo much!! You saved us from having to call a repair person. Great video - you're the best!!!
Awesome!! Glad you were able to get it figured out!! Happy Camping!!
Huzzah! Traced the outage on my motorhome to these breakers, they are installed under the hood where I can't see them. Button was there hidden on the bottom. THANK YOU for pointing out the manual reset! Now life is better!
Thanks for sharing where you found them on your rig!! Glad you got it figured out!!
Very much appreciated. Was having this exact same no power issue, pressed the button & voila, worked like a charm.
Thanks so much for this video. We have the exact same camper and had this issue. It was driving us nuts trying to figure out the problem. Really appreciate this video, saved us from wasting time and money! :)
Awesome, I'm so glad to hear the video was helpful, and thanks for the great feedback!!
Thanks for posting this video. Spent some time trying to figure out my trailer problem with no success - was about to start replacing the converter. After watching your video and reading some online forums was able to easily correct the issue.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! We recently had our camper worked on for the sliders and to fix a part of floor rot. We got it home and ZERO power. We knew it was something super simple. I googled it while my husband was trying everything. As I told him what you said, we crawled underneath, FOUND a similar switch(hidden) and wha-la!! It worked!!
Super thankful for you!
AWESOME!! So glad to hear the video helped you out, and thank you for the great feedback!!
Life saver. Thank you for this. I had the same problem. After watching this I’m back up and running.
Awesome glad the video helped you out!!
This guy has solved my RV 12volt problem. I followed his instructions / directions and it worked. He's got a friend in Texas now.👍👍
Awesome, glad to hear the video helped you out!! Thanks for watching and the positive feedback!!
Thank you so much. Messed with this problem for hours. 30 second fix and big savings
You are the MAN!!!! That was the issue for me. cancelling my Amazon order for a new inverter. If you're ever northern Massachusetts I owe you a beer!

2021 FBS - Your the man! Same issue. Went straight out to camper, 2 min and wa la. Had called dealer I bought from, 2 1/2 hrs away. Told me I would have to bring it in and most likely could fix while I waited. They wanted the Mfg. warranty $$$. Never once told me to check this out. THANK YOU AGAIN!

Awesome!! So glad to hear my video helped you out!! Thanks so much for the great feedback!!
I was having the exact problem you described and I was about to take the electrical panel apart to verify power but after watching your video I checked for the button on the manual switch and that fixed the problem Thank you very much for making this video. It was very helpful and easy to follow.
Thank you so much for the feedback, I appreciate it!!
Dude!! You are frickin AWESOME!!!
You just saved me from myself lol
I was about to replace all kinds of stuff and sweep up all the hair I pulled out while trying to figure out what was going on lol

Cheers mate and happy trails
AWESOME!! Thank you SO much for subscribing and the Likes!! Really glad the video helped you out!! I was almost with you about to replace a bunch of stuff, got lucky and had to share when I figured it out!!
Thanks, you saved me a trip to an RV repair place if I could have found one. I thought my battery was bad because it was pretty old so I got a new one and still no fix. 30 seconds after watching your video I was back in business. Thanks again
Omg 😂🤣Could it be that simple? 🤯Yes, it can. I was having that exact same issue and your info fixed it. Thank you very much!
I would have never figured out what was wrong with my 12v until I came across this video. Was almost ready to take back to the dealer. Thanks
Glad the video helped out!! Once I discovered the breaker I was like holy crap I got lucky I just figured that out, had to share the info!! Thanks for the great feedback!!
After replacing my battery, reading everything I could about my camper electrical system, searching in vain for schematics on my camper, replacing fuses, and using my multi-meter on everything I could find and coming up empty, I stumbled across your video. Within about 20 seconds I was able to locate my easy to overlook breaker (mine was only an inch or so long) and I am back in business. I was about to buy a new converter though that didn't seem to be the problem. THANK YOU!!!
Right on glad I could help save you some money!! Thanks for the great feedback!!
Thank you. Your video saved me from bringing by rig back to camping world. They had no idea.
Glad I could help!
Thanks so much! Our 2020 Rockwood Mini Lite had the same problem. Easy fix for this old lady who was freaking out a little!
I was freaking out when this happened to me, LOL!! Glad the video helped you out, Happy Camping!!
I agree with all the comments below, you are best, I owe you a beer!! I have been struggling with this same problem with my new travel trailer for several days, I was totally stressed out trying to figure out what the problem was. Found your video this morning, and then found the manual breaker switch and the ever so tiny reset switch. Pushed it back in, and now everything works fine.........thanks for sharing this video, I really appreciated your help with this. Thanks again!
Right on!! Glad the video helped you out and Thanks for the great feedback!!
Unbelievable. The most valuable video I’ve seen. I have seen it but never looked there when it blew. You saved the day. Go have a beer.
Awesome!! Glad to hear the video helped you out and beer sounds mighty good right now!! Cheers!!
THANK YOU! Your video helped me find a blown 30 amp fuse along the wiring from the battery to the inverter. I’ve got hot water and a working fridge again. Woohoo!
Right on!! Glad the video helped out, thanks for sharing what you found!! Thanks for watching!!
Oh my God! You saved my sanity and our vacation! Thank you.
Awesome, glad the video helped you out and you were able to enjoy your vacation!! Happy Camping!!
Thank you, thank you many more times. A real baffling problem, I fancy my self as a reasonable electrical guy and this was hurting my ego. Mine is different than yours just an in and out but still the same. Pushed the “magic” button and everything DC works. Thanks for sharing.
Right on!! Glad you got it figured out even though it was a little different than mine!! Thanks for checking out my channel!!
Just wanted to thank you for this video. I had the same issue and it was that stupid button. Appreciate you posting this video! Thanks!
Awesome glad the video helped out!! Thanks for taking the time comment, we appreciate it!!
Thanks for the video. I didn't find a breaker like you show, I had a faulty on/off switch that would turn off 12V interior trailer functions. I had never seen the switch before (owned the trailer for 8yrs now), just in the frame behind the batteries. The tongue jack would still work and I was getting 12V+ from the batteries. Because of your video, I was able to trace it back to this push/pull switch, that I've since learned is called a disconnect switch. Thanks again for getting me thinking in the right direction.
Glad it helped and glad you found the issue, thanks for knowledge sharing!
You absolutely saved my sanity. I knew my battery was good because I got a reading of 12.56 volts and I knew my converter was working because I got a reading of 13.26 volts but it would not charge the battery and when unplugged from shore power nothing worked but my electrical legs and slide out (they are wired directly to the battery). I did not think this little black piece was a breaker. I thought it was just a notch to hold the plastic pieces together. Thanks Mile High Campers.
Clement Brault really glad to hear my video helped you out!! Initially I thought the same thing you did about the breaker... didnt look like a breaker!! Right on, thanks for the positive feedback!!
Man I e got to tell you you saved my day !!!!!!!
I had no idea that was there !!
THANKS SO MUCH 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Awesome!! So glad the video helped you out & thanks for the positive feedback!!
Thank you . Our system was a little different but we found the manual breaker inside the metal junction box under all of the wires from the battery. All good now thanks again...
Awesome!! Glad to hear you found the issue!! There are so many makes,models and designs electrical issues can be tricky to figure out, no RV is the same!!
My 2016 Keystone Carbon 357 had no 12v power over the weekend. After watching this I went check my breakers. They are not the kind that can be reset so I swapped them both out. Only doing one did not work. Everything works again. Thanks you for this information. Happy camping.
Great information, glad to hear the video pointed you in the right direction!! Thanks for the comment and Happy Camping to you as well!!
Thank you so much for this video! I've been searching for a long time for a resolve to my issue and this was perfect! Thank you!
Awesome!! Glad you were able to get the issue fixed!! Happy Camping!!
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU !!! I was freaking out ! Your video saved me much grief !
AWESOME!! Glad to hear the video helped you out!! Thanks for the great comment!!
Awesome video. Thank you so much for your video. You saved me a trip to the RV shop and some $$$. Had the same issue and fixed it because of your video. Once again THANK YOU!!!!
Awesome!! So glad to hear my video helped you out!! Thanks for the positive feedback and thank you for watching!!
Stumbled upon your video, well done!!! Accidentally miss connected some wiring and boom... two smoked 12v fuses later and now replaced, I have lights back, will now go and reset this lil bugger and have fridge and stereo back. Thanks
Right on, glad it helped and you were able to get your rig working again!! Thanks for the positive feedback and thanks for watching!!
Same problem here. As soon as daylight comes I'm going to look for that little box. I've been leaning towards my battery being bad, but it is new (October 2022) and this problem didn't start until I got the RV back from the dealership for some minor warranty work. I think they did something by accident. I have a 30 amp hookup at my house so I was under the impression that even with no battery at all that everything would work if hooked up to shore power. Frustrating. Thanks!
Thanks for this video. This pass weekend we were camping. As we packed up and got ready to leave everything was working fine. The last thing I do is roll up the shore power cord. Once i rolled it up the only thing I had left to do was roll in the awning. Behold, it doesn't work. Had to hook up shore power again for it to work. We got home found this video and this morning i went check and sure enough. After resetting it, everything works again. Saved us a service call. Thanks again! . 👍
Glad it helped! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Sir, You just saved us $250 AT LEAST and saved our camping trip. We got to the campsite and the slides wouldn't work. NOTHING. WE loaded up and came home and started testing/looking/searching for a clue to get them working again. I came across you video about the resettable breakers and it WORKED! Heading back to camp in the morning, thanks entirely to you! THANK YOU!
Same issue and have replaced batteries like you did. Mine were at 7v and 8 years old so definitely needed replacing. No power. Will try your solution tomorrow. Hopefully that is the issue. Thanks so much for posting this.
Oh my gosh, I have been working this problem for days! That Colorado. I, from Greeley, but the Air Force brought me to NC! Yippie it works again. It was simply hooking up the battery the correct way.
Great video. Thank you for explaining the problem in thorough detail. You could've just done a video saying "hey, try pressing this button" and nothing else, but you really explained everything well and provided background so we could all understand what the problem really was. Thanks. Also I wanted to add this- I tripped mine because I accidently hooked up one of the batteries backwards.
Can't thank you enough for your video. Put two new batteries in yesterday and still no 12v power. Found your video and the the circuit breaker and bam, power restored. I was sweating it too since we're leaving for FLA Wed morning. Thanks again
Awesome!! I'm so glad the video helped you out!! Thanks for the great feedback and thanks for watching!!
Thank you so much. I assumed that was just a power block, had no idea it was a breaker!!! I was about to buy a new inverter, you saved me $$$$$$
Awesome!! Glad you got it figured out and didn't have to spend any money!! Thanks for the feedback and for watching!!
Thank you very much for helping me solve my problem. Right off the positive battery cable was an in-line fuse holder with a blown 40 amp fuse. A friend helped me rewrite a worn out trailer connector which was not done correctly which probably caused the fuse to blow. After correcting the trailer connector is when everything worked correctly except the control panel would not function with battery power. Replaced fuse and everything works perfect. Thanks again!
Right on!! So glad the video helped you out!! Thanks for taking the time to comment, I appreciate it!! Happy Camping!!
Had the same exact issue. Dead batteries got replaced with new ones and 30 amp plug in was good. Once we hooked up to go camping, no 12 volt power. Your video fixed my problem! Thank you!
I can't thank you enough. After your video I checked the camp trailer again and found someone before I owned it had attached a black cable to that block. So when I put new batteries in I attached it to the negative on the battery and nothing worked. Been fighting it for a couple days. I will be replacing that cable with a red cable so I have power actually going to the converter and distribution board 👍 thank you so much again you saved my ass👍
Awesome, glad the video helped you out!! Thanks for the comment!
Wow! Thank you! I'm so glad, after looking at multiple videos, I found yours! I had the same exact conditions that you described at the beginning of this video and I found the Manual Breaker on my RV as well and the little button on the side of it and sure enough, it was popped out, like a GFCI outlet button. I pushed it in and Eureka, it worked! Thanks again! PS, I'm proud to be another Colorado, Mile High Camper!
It also saved me a lot of money and a wasted trip to an RV mechanic!
Awesome glad to hear the video helped you out!! Thanks for taking the time to leave such a great comment!! Right on, Happy Camping!!
Yes....thanks for that. I was planning to work my way back from the battery tomorrow morning and it helps to have "something" to look for as the possible culprit. 🙂
Hope you get it figured out, thanks for the comment!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! In our 5th wheel, the little button was behind a plastic piece we had to unscrew to get to, but we finally found it and got everything working again!
Awesome!! So glad to hear it helped you out and thank you for the positive feedback!! Stay tuned more RV videos to come!!
We had the same problem and viewed your video. It was very simple explanation and we fixed the problem with a push of the side of that block fuse. Thank you
Awesome, glad it helped!!
