RV Power Problems !
Hi friends, Thank you for taking the time to help me out with this problem. I have a 2003 26ft STAR Travel trailer. I plug in the trailer to the house outlet to power it up - just to ...

You are saying the problem is NO 120 volts inside your TT?
Take a multimeter and see if you have 120 volts AC at the panel inside your TT to determine if the cord or plug/connector is faulty. Measure the voltage before and after the 30 amp main breaker. If there is 120 before the main breaker and none on the load side, then it's a faulty breaker. Unlikely to be the breaker tho. If no 120 volts, it won't have anything to do with the little plug-in fuses which are 12 volts DC.
Then report back. ;)
So I just looked at your video and I see that the microwave is on. Since the MW is on, you do have 120 volts inside. Take the multimeter and check for 120 volts on the load side of each branch circuit breaker in the panel. If each breaker has 120V on the load side of the terminals you have something wrong with wiring downstream of the breakers. First thing to check for would be a tripped GFCI receptacle.
With no battery connected or converter on or connected, anything to do with the 120 volt system should still work. Microwave, AC unit, water heater (if electric on it) and ALL receptacles. The interior lights are all 12 volts DC so if some of them aren't working, then you have something wrong with the DC system.

Update : Replaced the battery and the power works HOWEVER.
When I plug in the AC110V from the House outlet to the RV female plug (I bought a $30 convertor so the plugs can fit into one another) and I am still not getting power in the RV from the House 110AC powersupply.
All the fuses look fine ? I don't see any that popped out (I assume a popped out fuse = blown fuse?)
Thoughts?
Thanks !
