First I need to apologise to LadyRVer. My wife doesn't do much mechanical stuff either she says that's what she has me for.She does bake a mean carrot cake from scratch though.Congratulations for continuing to RV after losing your significant other, I know I would struggle greatly without mine. Take it to a shop , that's what us Macho I can fix it myself guys do after we have spent countless hours and money trying to fix it ourselves.
Now more info on problem, it is getting better. Coach batteries read 12.7 volts with the shore power plugged in or not. I stated in original post I was getting power to converter fuse panel when no plugged in but this morning I was getting Zero when checking with volt meter. After messing with battery disconnect switch , ie turning off and on several times and then lightly tapping both solenoids located close to coach batteries I was getting 6.4 volts without being plugged into shore power. A few minutes later it was 8.3 volts and a little later it was 9.4 volts and the one LCD I had left on would come on but not as bright as it was when plugged in . The only 12 volt things I know were working initially were the steps and the gen set would start. I wasn't getting power to the 12 volt fuse panel, so nothing on the fuse panel was working. I have some photo's I wanted to load to the post but don't see where to do that. Maybe someone could help me there. I'm convinced it must be a switch, solenoid or loose corred connection problem.
