Leveling jacks won't work
We have a 2001 SouthWind 32v Motor Home. We bought it used last year and have had to fix a few things. We just left Tuesday for our real (6 weeks) trip.. We've had it out a couple of times with no pro...

Since your coach is 13 years old and you have two things that are inoperative when the rig is parked, I'd suspect you have a relay that has worn out. Most of the time they fail intermittently, but not always.
Relay (or solenoids) look like little beer cans with large copper posts on each side and two small connections near the bottom. You probably have several in your electrical bay. (The are identical to the solenoids that were used for starters in most cars in the 50's and 60's.)
The one that controls things that should be powered up when your coach is parked should "click" when you turn the key. Have someone listen for it when the key is turned. Just because it "clicks" doesn't mean it is working. You'll have to check it with a meter to see if power is being passed thru.
