Your batteries are not providing 12vdc to the house. THey are disconnected or a fuse or breaker is tripped or they are toast.
>I missed a wire on the battery connection, that fix the DC issue
SOME RV's have an Energery Management system (Common in high end 50 amp units) this is designed to shed selected loads ICLUDING the A/C and Microwave when running on 30 amps and drawing too much current. THIS should hot affect outlets however.
I'm thinking there are circuit breakers on the inverter as well and they power the outlets and microwave
>I am plugged in to 50 amps power source. The problem is I have reset all breakers many time, and does not know if there is a fuse causing all this
I understand that.. IF you have an INtelletec EMS it needs 12 volts to work and the fact the 120 comes live (or did) beore the 12 might bother it (I do not have one and thus can not tell you more)
But with the exception of the Air conditioners, Water heater and Fridge, On many high end RV's all other electrical outlets run through the inverter.
True story.. Knock on my door. Friend's next site nighghbor had a problem half his outlets and his TV's not working.
As we returned to his rig I ask about an inverter.. he did not know if he had one.
Well he opened the battery compartment (no not there. IN fact should NEVER be there) then the compartment next to the batteries (BINGO a very nice high end Tripp-Lite multi-kilowatt job) with a tripped breaker.. Problem solved.
