Re: complete electrical shut down
It happened last spring to us, with our, then 2000 Pace Arrow Vision. The Rv would just stop dead, no electricl power. First check of battery connection looked good, Note these were the original OEM batterys. RV would then restart after minutes or hours. We had it hauled to an electrician, who couldn't find a problem. Took it to a Ford dealer after the third occurance, he thought he found a loose connection. After the fourth occurance, I changed the Chassis battery and had no further problems. I had some suspicion that there was likely a broken plate/terminal inside the battery, as one of the terminals had some slight side to side movement. The problem gave no warning, either instrumentation or performance. Possible a combination of a battery beyond its normal service life and or an internal failure, that was exacerbated by a heavy jolt or vibration.
Have someone check the battery under load to see if that is the cause. Hope it's as simple as that
