12V Question

I just bought a used 2005 Starcraft Homestead 24RKS. I am not getting any 12V power from the battery except for a utility light in the storage compartment. The manual says there is a breaker right behind the front wall and also an inline fuse. I took some stuff off underneath and there is no breaker or inline fuse. Just a junction plate and a bunch of wire nuts. I have not plugged it in yet but I am going to wire an RV outlet this evening to see if I get 12V from the inverter but I really want to know why the breaker isn't there when the manual says it is. It really doesn't look like it was removed.

I haven't checked the power at the power converter yet but I will do that soon.

Thanks for any advise.

    I don't even have a junction box. The junction is just sitting there with no box and no cover. You can't get to it though unless you take off the cover underneath. I haven't seen any other way to get to it. The manual says it is behind the "front wall under a plastic cover". It is supposed to have a self resetting breaker according to the manual.

    No power to anything except to the one utility light while connected to 12V battery only. I will check the 12V once I get it plugged in.
