Check for 120 volts AC to rig. Check to see if microwave or A/C works. Use a 120 volt appliance to check receptacles. Verify circuit breakers are set. Turn off all circuit breakers applying light pressure toward off. Then turn on main circuit breaker if equipped followed by branch breakers.
Verify that GFCI receptacles are not tripped.
Microwave works no issues ever. We have 2 AC’s one works, it’s a stand alone, the main one connected to the thermostat me doesn’t work. Checked all the breakers nothing is tripped. The fuses connected to battery are all intact, there are 2 of them. All of my outlets are working except one. The one the TV is plugged into, guessing that is 12 volt because ones I start the engine everything works. One other thing I just noticed the main power switch doesn’t work either, unless the engine is running.
The TV outlet is powered by the Inverter. The inverter is powered by 12 volts. Invwrter changes 12 volts DC to 120 volts AC. I am assuming you are calling the main power switch the "Battery Disconnect switch".(salesman switch) The RV world considers the Main Power switch to be the 120 main circuit breaker. Check the battery voltage. be sure the Salesman switch is on. Check 120 volts to the Converter with a voltmeter. If you don't have a voltmeter get one and learn to use it. AS you now see it is nessessary.
