Checked the shore power, it was on, switched to batteries and was able to get the slide in...also had lights. Now, no power to the house batteries and the 12 volt lighting won't work on shore power alone...on battery just fine. Checked the output from the inverter - normal, fuses on the inverter OK. So, no power to charge the house batteries and 12 volt lighting that only works on battery power.
What else should I check?
Thanks!

What do you mean by 'switched to batteries'? When the coach is in use, the batteries should ALWAYS be connected. The power converter is not intended for use without a battery connected. They fail easily without this very large and powerful filter on their outputs.
Sounds like you killed your power converter.
The battery disconnect is ONLY for long term storage when no power is available. Otherwise the batteries should always be connected.
