Replaced Starter, now, no 12V power at the dash

I changed the starter. Then the problem started...Had the starter checked. I checked every fuse i could find. Wires look ok, peeled back heat shield to check. 2 fuse boxes under hood. One 12" metal box with disconnect switches, this one has power everywhere, except a vertical row of fuses on right side. another 6" fuse box under hood all dead. a 3rd fuse box under dash, all dead. even the security light for the ignition..dead. Disconnect switch sound like they are working. I can turn the key on(no lights at all on dash) and then jump the solenoid, and start the RV...still dash is dead. I would appreciate any clues.
2004 southwind 32V / Workhorse

    My bet is on a dropped wire. Grab a flash light and look in the area of the wires that were taken off.

    OK, and the make, model, year, chassis, engine of your motorhome might be....?

    A little information about the RV would help a lot. Make, model, year, chassis manufacturer, etc.
