Bad wire...
The Fuse box is about 2-3 feat behind the rear axle on the drivers side. The wire runs from there back into the wall... to never Reappear. The Lights and Outlets it powers are along the passenger side wall. The Antenna power booster, DC Outlet, and light directly under the window between the passenger door and the camper entrance door... and the exterior light. I honestly have no idea how/were that wire is run from one side of the camper to the other. I have no idea how long the actual wire is because I have no clue what path it is taking to get there. Straight line in the coach is 10-15 feet between... but being opposite sides, who knows the run. It has to be the longest run, and of course... therefor... the most likely to have developed a problem. Simple in concept. Will be difficult to complete. I'm not looking forward to it, and if I had extra $$$ would happily pay someone much more 'professional' than I.
Very good. This narrows things down a lot and provides info I can use as a starting point for helping you.
I kinda get the impression you're experiencing a lot of frustration. Take a deep breath. You and I can take things one step at a time and figure out how to fix your motorhome. This will involve a series of questions from me, and answers from you, to narrow down how to get things working again. This may also require pictures from you so I can actually see some things, rather than having you try to describe them. If you don't know how to post pictures, we'll find an easy way for you to do so.
To everyone reading this: Normally, I'd take one-on-one help to PMs to avoid "cluttering" this thread. However, I think leaving it public will prove informative to others as they watch the troubleshooting process.

The fuse box ... is it a 120/240VAC box like you find in houses or 12VDC panel like you find under the dash in most vehicles? Does it have the round, screw-in fuses, roughly one inch in diameter or does it have glass tube fuses, roughly 1/4 inch in diameter and 3/8 to one inch in length, with metal caps on each end?
The location of the box leads me to believe it is the main fuse panel for the motorhome's 120/240VAC system. This is where they are typically located, close to the shore power connection.
