Somewhere between the battery and power center, there is a problem with either a grounding connection, or a hot wire connection / fuse / breaker.
From reading the Aliner users manual, there are three wires connecting to your battery. The one with the inline fuse is the positive (hot) wire, connects to positive battery post. The two white wires connect to negative side.
From reading the manual on the power center, the bottom fuse is reverse polarity protection. It is supposed to blow, if you connect the battery wrong.
Here are a few possibilities:
1. It's possible the battery got hooked up wrong, the fuse didn't do it's job, and there was damage to the power center.
2. It's possible a fuse is blown and does not look blown.
3. It's possible, there is a short stop (AKA auto reset / manual reset) breaker, in addition to the fuses in the battery circuit.
4. Could be corrosion on battery connections.
5. It's also possible, hubby did everything right, but, the new power center is defective from the manufacturer.
