No shore power. 33c Sunova

We just got home from a great 2 month vacation. We took our pickup camper on the Alaska ferry to five ports. Great trip. The problem is, when I got home our 2016 33c Sunova is dead. It was plugged in all the time, but both coach batteries and engine batteries are dead and we have no shore power. Usually when I plug the rv in and turn on the breaker, I hear a clicking noise signaling that I have shore power. Today no click and no shore power. I have checked all breakers I can think of in the coach, but no power. I flipped all the breakers by the door, switched the inverter off and on. Checked the gfi outlets, but no power. Is there any master switch that could of been flipped while it was plugged in all summer. Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks

    Is the shore power receptacle good? Pedestal or source could have issues.

    If you have generator capability, the transfer switch that senses where the power is coming from, Genny or shore may not be working. Or since you were always plugged in to shore power, you converter is dead, not charging the batteries.
    The click indicates a transfer switch. engaging.

    First get a portable charger on the batteries as dead batteries have a shorter life. Have you checked that there is power at the house plug? If OK then if you have the skill/knowledge to be safe check the voltage at the RV house panel.
