Ok, I'm working now. Checked everything as indicated above. No luck. I turned off the house battery disconnect switch in the battery bay and turned in back on and everything is working.
So, gurus... This is the first time that has happened since the coach was new. Anybody got a clue? What are the symptoms of my house batteries going bad? Would assume dim lights when not on shore power but what else?
This is a common problem on the HR/Monaco line. There is a large black solenoid in the front run bay that acts up. It is controlled by the switch near the entry which you tried. Turning the batteries off and on probably allowed it to reconnect. Again, this is a very common problem. So common in fact that many people just bypass it. I bypassed mine after accidently having it shut off and leaving the fur babies inside. With the switch off the air conditioners do not work.
The front run bay is the box below the driver in the outside compartment. Open it up and look toward the bottom left for a large black solenoid. That is the pest.
Salesman Switch
Do a search for "Salesman Switch" and you will find pages of information on how to address it.
I've bypassed the solenoid on two Monaco's now as soon as the situation appeared. Problem solved.
