No 12v power with shore hookup (HELP)

WE got ready to leave for Colorado a few days ago, and after getting all hooked up realized we had no 120v. Called my service man in Amarillo and he walked me along. Found a breaker that had two cables hooked to it. He said to run my finger around the breaker and I should find a very small button to reset the breaker. This breaker was in the very front storage compartment. The batteries were on the other side of that wall. I pushed the button and had power back.

You need to take some voltage readings at the battery. Sounds like it's not getting charged when plugged into shore power.

A simple and cheap little digital multimeter is an rv'ers best friend. Get one and learn to use it. If you provide us with some voltage readings, it will help us to better understand your situation.

My Layton has sat up at the lake for 5 years with no battery. And all the lights are 12v. Sounds like a slow blow fuse if the lights are dim.

I will get the battery readings shortly. I still am trying to locate the power converter or any other fuses. I have pulled the 12v panel off its not behind there and the only inline fuse I have come across is the one in the battery compartment and that one is fine. UGHH!! Does anyone know where I should be looking for the converter?

It may have to do the the reverse polarity fuses on the converter. If so, there would be no charging of the battery and no 12v for lights and other 12v functions from the converter. The battery will continue to supply until completely discharged.

I fixed it!! Thanks for everyone's help. I finally located the inverter by pulling apart the walls in the underneath storage. All 3 30amp fuses were blown and a 15 am that powers the surround sound system was blown. I replaced them and all is good now!!!!!!!

Good.
Now what caused them all to blow?
