The auto reset circuit breakers are easy to test - just do a continuity test between the two lugs. There inexpensive and carry a spare might be a good idea.
If your getting power by disconnecting/bi-passing the battery disconnect solenoid that's likely the issue ... might be the fuses on top of the solenoid - might be a bad rocker switch connecting to the solenoid. Does the solenoid make a "click" when your press the rocker switch - if you press in one direction it cuts off power - pressing it in the other direction should reconnect the batteries.
Reference your first sentence. I have had auto-reset circuit breakers test good for continuity, but as soon as power was applied, they failed (opened). One particular incident on our MH drove me crazy until I put a jumper across the breaker before I applied power. Due to the faulty breaker, none of my batteries were being charged. OP may be having a similar problem.
