Newbie - electrical question, 12V not working
Just took delivery of a new TT 2 days ago, our drive back home from the dealer is 3 hours - and we parked in a RV storage lot. When I unhooked from TV I went to push the battery disconnect (at cont...

Update.
My 12V was still not working in the TT today. I removed the battery and took to an autoparts store and it checked out fine. 12.7v, and 512 CC.
I reinstalled the battery. I also measure 13V (12.7 with my other meter at the battery when installed.) There are two small terminal boxes (ciruit breakers?) mounted to the trailer frame near the battery. Each has 2 posts. All 4 posts measure 12.7 V to frame and the two posts on each breaker show continuity between the posts, so I think those are all good. Everything in front of the trailer on the A frame is measuring 12.7V, at least until the cables go up into the underbelly.
Inside the TT under the fridge is the fusebox. I removed the cover. All of the breakers are on. I measure 0 volts between the big red cable coming into the top of the DC fuses and big white cable coming in the other side top of the row of fuses. I measure 0 volts there with the disconnect switch in either in or out position.
so I suspected the disconnect switch. I did not want to remove the convenience panel (mounted on the cabinets by the exterior door), however, I could see the back terminals of the disconnect switch when looking under the sink. The two big red cables going into the back of the disconnect switch show continuity when in the "on" pulled out position. So I do not think the switch is bad.
So I am out of ideas, I think I need to take the rig into a dealer since it is under warranty. Somewhere between the battery area and the fusebox there is a break. Unless there is a breaker somewhere that I am unaware of.
