No Power to rig

RogTeri · 05-25-2019, 01:27 PM

Hi! We are new owners of a 2014 Winnebago 38Q. Yesterday we had the jacks in manual mode and everything was working fine. Today we go out and have no power to anything in rig. Generator does not start. We are completely lost as to what to do. Any suggestions? Any help will be very much appreciated.

By no power do you mean both 110V AC and 12V DC or just one of the two? Are you plugged in to shore power? Will your engine start?

We are plugged into power here at our home. The engine does start, but there is no power for lights or anything else.

The slides work but no other power even though we are plugged in.

Are your house batteries turned on?

Thank you all, we have tried these different things and did find that one of us accidentally hit the battery disconnect toggle. These have all been learning experiences as we checked each item. Thanks Forest, we would have never thought to check that.

Don't feel alone, it's a very common mistake. Some don't even know they had a disconnect switch aka "salesman's switch".

The battery disconnect being in a convenient location makes it prone to accidental bumping when exiting the coach. My dog would bump it turning off the power and AC in the coach regularly so I am considering installing a safety cover like a firing button on an emergency locator beacon or torpedo control board would have.

My DH has hit the switch so many times that we made a cover for it from a milk bottle. Haven't had a problem since!
