Electrical problem

I went out to start getting The TT ready for spring and none of the lights would turn on and the slide and awning don't work. That's plugged in to shore power. I plugged in to my truck and everything works fine. Any ideas what to look for? I am at a loss.

    Bobbo is correct. You loss power from the power converter. That's where you start.

    There is a small resetable fuse screwed to the a frame on the pos side near the battery. May nee a new one . It will have 2 bolts that the wires are attached.

    Sounds like the RV battery is weak/dead, if plugging into truck, using truck battery power gets things working. Need to test as Scott suggests.

    x2, sounds like the 12v side of things is not working. Does your 120v stuff work?

    Check the voltage level of the converter and battery separately with the rv plugged in and unplugged.
