DC Down
Folks, A few days ago I went out to start the generator on my '96 Itasca Suncruiser for just it's regular monthly warmup when I noticed that I had no DC cabin power. This is all of a sudden. For mont...

Just a few thoughts to consider...
Check convertor circuit connections/fuses/breakers?
Did you have cabin power without the generator running? IE., normal 12VDC lights turn on? If not, then I'd lean towards the battery.
Do you have 120VAC in the outlets with the genset running?
What was your volt meter reading on the battery without chargers or without the engine running? If it's only 12VDC then it's going or has already gone bad. A 12VDC light bulb (unless it's LED) will work on lesser voltages than 12VDC....just not as bright. It should be somewhere in the 13.5-14VDC range without a load on it.
Check for tripped breakers and/or blown fuses at your house main panel
Again, just some thoughts to hopefully get you on a direction anyway....
This is a reply to everyone who has posted a suggestion. My thanks to all.
1.) There is no battery disconnect switch.
2.) The generator will not start, only clicks.
3.) I'll re-check with the meter as to the voltage. The light I attached was extremely bright.
These are 2 batteries in parallel. I even attached a third from my shop that I knew to be good. Still no luck.
4.) All appliance fuses are fine. But, is there a Main fuse somewhere?
