Your rig may have a battery disconnect which would not allow battery(ies) to work.
The 120 volt system should be powering a converter which charges the battery system. Check to make sure converter is operating and breakers are on. Check for main battery and converter fuses in the 12 volt DC power distribution panel. These fuses are normally adjacent to the 120 volt circuit breakers behind small metal plate.
Disconnect the bad battery and see if system operates. Look for make and model of the converter.

I have tried 12V with the battery disconnect on and off. Earlier I also had no 120 volt when plugged in. Flipping breakers did nothing but I did solve it by turning off all circuit breakers while unplugged, then plugging in, then turning on each breaker one by one. Although that seems a bit odd, apparently the circuit breakers are now OK.
Yes, I should have checked all those little fuses which I will do now. And good point, I should try disconnecting the dead batteries to see if that does anything. But with both dead and one cracked open, they are probably in effect disconnected already.
THANKS
