Rock wood Sig. ULite/ battery switch??

Friend just bought this 08 fifth wheel. Batteries test good however no power to trailer. We have searched for the battery cut off switch in the nose storage and basements and can’t find the switch.
Anybody know where it is located...if there is one?

  • First I'd check the breakers and fuses

    Second - I'd start looking for the circuit breaker like the one SoundGuy posted.
    Mine was hidden on the back side of the battery box, not easy to see and had to be removed to find the reset button.

    Note that I have a 08 Flagstaff, very simular to the Rockwood.

    Perhaps I am wrong to assume it would even have one.


    Regardless of make / model every trailer manufactured these days will have a resettable circuit breaker wired into the cable that connects to the battery positive terminal.
  • Is it possible to wade through all the (well I am not gonna say it) and ask the person or agency selling it what the secret is?

    SoundGuy posted a pic of a 12v resettable circuit breaker that's used in nearly all brands of RVs.
    he happens to own a Coachmen but the pic has nothing to do with it being on a Coachmen.
    and the OP is asking about a Rockwood, not a Coachmen.
  • Check for a tripped 120 circuit breaker labeled Converter. Also check the Two revers polarity 30 amp fuses on the converter. Also look for a resettable inline fuse within 6' of the battery.

  • I'd doubt there would be a battery disconnect switch on a unit of this age. More likely the circuit breaker in the positive line going to the battery has failed, resulting in an open circuit.
