HELP! 12 volt Breaker in Travelmaster 1987
Hello! I'm new to Rving as well as «foruming»! I have a big problem: my 12 volt circuit does not work and it means NO hot water (wether I'm docking or not), NO heating (even when docking), no lights ...

Sounds like a power problem to the converter. Look in the electrical box and see if one of the circuit breakers is mark converter. If not, cycle each of the circuit breakers off then back on. Sometimes one will trip but not all of the way with the handle.
Next, do you see any kind of change in the intensity of the lights when the camper is plugged into shore power? If you do, it usually indicates the converter is putting out power to the batteries. If you don't then you may have a converter problem.
When you get the voltage/multi meter, check the volt at the battery. Should be in the high 12's if the battery is charged. What bothers me is that you have some 12 volt items which work and so that don't. First thing to do then is to check the grounds on the batteries. Near the house battery the black cable from the battery goes to a connection with the frame. Check this connection to may sure it is clean and tight. Clean the connection if you have any doubt.
