Electrical Gremlin?

Just recently this started after owning this TC for 10 years. Whenever I plug into shore power(110) or use my genny, after I unhook and go to battery power my water pump and overhead lights don't work. The control panel lights,and the range hood lights still work. After time all works again, like resetting its self. Have checked everything, Breakers, fuse, and battery, all appear good. I don't know how long until it starts to work as I've never watched it. any ideas? It's a 95 Lance Squire Lite.

    Yes, charging as they should

    Would seem to me that if it was a loose connection it would happen sometime between using shore power or genny. I go for 5-7 days without either and move on back roads and it never happens. Just when I use either just sitting in my drive or camp

    All of those items being 12VDC really shouldn't have anything to do with the 120VAC grid. I would check for loose 12VDC connections...
