Our 12v power just went out and was wondering if anyone had any idea's on what to check for. The fuses are all good and the generator starts up but when we are plugged into the trailer and switched on nothing 12V comes up. Batteries have water, smart charger is on green all the time. We did have it plugged into shore power for a few days as well just to charge the batteries.
Anyone have any idea's ??? Thanks for the help in advance.

Breakers? Is the battery disconnect in good shape?

Batteries must be up as generator started. Is there a Circuit Breaker between batteries and 12v distribution panel? Could be loose connection in distribution panel on + or - side.
Have you taken any voltage reading at battery and or distribution panel?

I'll check the voltage, breakers, connections, disconnect and switches.
Thanks guys, my wife dropped the trailer off in the infield and CA speedway for this weekends race. Heading there now to see what I find.

Check the fuse at the charger, mine came loose and caused the same type of issue, and then check the fuse at the battery, mine melted big time and caused me all kinds of headaches! I'm running a 40 amp circuit breaker now...

I had a similar problem. All fuses were good, but the prongs on the fuses had just a light amount of haze (residue) built up on them that kept from getting a good connection. I scraped them clean and all was well.

My '08 SL3005 has a battery disconnect switch on the left hand side of the compartment where the breakers are. You've probably already checked it, but just in case...
