Partial Dash DC Power loss

I have a 2004 Georgetown XL 370ts that has lost power to dash radio, power to reading lights controlled by dash switch, DC dash power outlet and power to the jack controls. I have checked for blown fuses and they all test good. Any ideas where I should check next?

We lost the radio, map lights and 12 DC Outlet on our ride home the day we picked our coach up. The levelers worked though. When I took it back to the dealer for misc. other things they told me they replaced fuses behind the radio. There are a couple fuses under the dash which are in-line fuses. I'd start looking at these next.

Our last trip, we lost power to the radio, cigarette lighter, aux power outlet under the dash and some other stuff. It was a fuse under the dash by the steering column. The fuse was NOT labeled radio or anything like that on the fuse box diagram. I can't remember exactly what it was called, but it was dedicated for use on the build out. We only found it by pulling them all....

You were right it was an obscure fuse that was the problem. Thank you.

The fuse panel by the steering column. Fuse 16 was the bad fuse and per the book is a body builder fuse. The strange thing is I checked all fuses first but the all tested good. I had the dash torn apart tracing wires, checking connections and checking voltages. Sure glad I checked the fuses again or there is no telling how much I would have torn up looking for the problem.
