89 Aljo 5th wheel NO DC Power in one half of trailer HELP

Question

Just got the trailer cleaned up and was getting ready to take some pics inside to post a for sale ad (want a class C instead) when out of the blue all the lights (DC) in one half of the trailer just went off. Living and kitchen area lights are all fine and all of the AC outlets still work fine throughout the RV but not one overhead DC light in the other half. The closet lights, bathroom, bedroom ect.. all off. I cant find any kind of fuse for the DC lights much less one just for one half of the trailer. Not sure what to do. Dont know how to access the wiring. Can anyone help or offer suggestions?

Generically, you should have a 12V distribution panel with fuses. My guess would be that one or more has blown. This might have been caused by either disruption or water introduced when cleaning.

I have yet to find the panel. I have looked in all of the obvious places. I opened every door on the outside and of course where the main AC breaker box is and battery area. Could it be someplace inside or somewhere less obvious?

This Skyline Manual depicts a combination AC/DC load center on Page #38.
