I have a 2001 Alpenlite Shorecliff 35RL 5th wheel

and I'm connected to shore electricity. I've lost all interior 12v power, this happened suddenly. I've checked all fuses I can find, they're all good. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    • Do you have 120 volt shore power all receptacles?
    • If not check all breakers
    • If yes what does your monitor battery meter claim?
    • Time to check the battery, leave a couple of light on
    • With a hand-held meter how many volts are in the battery?
    • A bad converter will allow the battery to discharge
    • A good converter will overpower a bad battery and you will still have lights
    • You need to check voltage at the battery because guesswork is next to worthless

    I would think that if you can disconnect converter and all 12 volt works off battery, then converter is bad. If nothing works, then could be a wiring problem.
