No house battery power

I just bought a 35 foot Kodiak Dutchmen. On the way home the steps quit working but every thing else 12 volt was working. later the house lights quit and the slides will not move. I still have 12 volts to the inverter but the Green light for the Battery Disconnect does not come on. I have checked all the fuses I could find and all are good. If I put 12 volts directly to the step motor , the steps will work.

This is my FIRST RV and I out of ideas.

You bought a new motorhome. I suspect you don't know the condition of the batteries when you drove off the lot. The only thing charging your batteries while you are driving is the engine alternator ... if that circuit is working. Sometimes they fail.

I think the first thing you need do is get home, plug your motorhome into some shore power ...even a 20A house circuit will do if you have an adapter ... and without running any other appliances in your motorhome let your motorhome's charger charge up the batteries.

check the batteries after 12 hours of charge to see if everything works again. You may have bad batteries. you may have a problem with the circuit from the engine alternator that charges the batteries while the engine is running. Then again, you may have other problems. good luck.
