I have no power coming from my battery. I had it checked at it is fully charged. I checked the converter fuses and they are intact. Any ideas on what the problem may be?

There is usually an auto-reset circuit breaker installed near the battery, it may be bad. Every RV'er needs a voltmeter, with it you can follow along till you find where the power is lost. Bad connections are often a problem, so check at both ends of any power cables. Check the ground connections to the frame, there may be more than one.

I had a resettable breaker go bad on mine too. Small 1/2" X 1" metal box with two studs, mounted to frame, near battery. Couple bucks from auto parts store. Keep a spare in the trailer.

If your rig is like mine, there is a battery disconnect switch in the Pass-through storage "basement". I inadvertently and unknowingly hit this switch while fidgeting with unloading a few items. Since I was plugged into shore power I didn't see any power problem. Later, on the road, we stooped for lunch and my wife discovered that the fridge wasn't running, the lights wouldn't work nor would the water pump. No power!
I checked breakers and fuses - all good. I checked the main breaker at the battery - seemed good. A real head scratcher. Was going to give up when while re-stowing my toolbox I noticed the Battery Disconnect switch was partially between On and Off. A real "Duh" moment. It's definitely on my radar now...

Mine did same thing. There is an outside breaker between battery and camper[outside]. The service man changed it. was still under warranty.

Check the connections in the jbox on the frame. First trip out while trying to diagnose a defective battery I found that the connections in the jbox were loose. As in the wire nut fell off when i took off the cover.

As in the wire nut fell off when i took off the cover. Had a similar thing happen to us. The main positive wire from the battery to the auto-reset breaker fell clear out of the crimp connection at the breaker due to a bad crimp job. They use a 4x4 metal junction box in the A-frame that is not code rated/approved for outdoor use and water easily gets into the splices. When I took the cover off ours, the wire nuts were upside down with standing water in them. I ended up install a proper weatherproof/gasketed PVC junction box and relocated all the splices plus the auto-reset breakers into it. Our TT got delivered out to the west coast in the bad winter of 2013/2014 and there was a lot of salt on the roads all over. The connections to the auto-reset breakers were badly corroded within a year as a result and had to replace the breakers. The dealers make no attempt to rinse salt off underneath so we also have lots of surface rust all over, including plated fasteners and hardware.

I've had my connect for a week and still checking everything out. Not liking the idea of the junction box either, going to replace mine as well. Hard to believe that KZ would be using those indoor junction boxes. I'll be doing the same in the spring, before I go camping again. That indoor box, without even a rubber gasket, is going to go! |
