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 in the bathroom. Many have suggested that I check the fuse box but I did not find anything wrong. I was told to check the breaker, but am not able to even locate the thing. Of course, my Class C 1987 travelmaster did not come with a maintenance guide; it was lost many owners ago I guess... Can someone help me? I live in my RV and intend to do so untill mid-november, but it's getting VERY COLD here in Montreal!

Thanx so much!

    A circuit breaker is normally used for 120 volt AC systems. 12 volt circuits are protected by fuses in most cases.
    Do you have a volt meter? Check for 12 volts in the DC power section. It is normally located behind a small dead front plate next to the 120 Volt circuit breakers. Look near the floor in hall way or around the base of the bed.
    Does any of the 120 volt receptacles work? Could be a tripped GFCI receptacle. They are the 120 volt receptacle that has two small buttons. Try pushing the resets.
