Not getting power from new RV battery :(
Hello Everyone, I am trying to do a little problem solving. We are not getting any power from our new RV battery. We have check the leads, fuses, wires (looking for loose ones), converter, and bat...

Assuming you have checked for disconnect switch, fuse panel, battery connections:
Look for an inline fuse in the positive battery lead.
Look for an auto reset breaker. Looks like this. Follow positive battery lead, to where it enters the trailer. This is the breaker mentioned by enblethen. If it is good, it will have 12 volt power between the two posts.
Sometimes the breaker will reset when you disconnect and re-connect the battery power. Some have a manual reset button. Some trailers have more than one. If it is bad (won't reset), they are available at most auto parts stores. They come in different amp sizes. Match up the size with your old one. Disconnect battery and shore power while changing the breaker.
The battery should have nothing to do with city water issue. If you're talking about electric water heating element, that's not a 12 volt issue, either.
When you find the fix, please let us know what it is.
