Help? Lights not coming on

Just picked up our Sunseeker 3070 from Campimg World after hours after some repairs and winterizig. None of the lights work inside the RV.
We checked the fuse box and everything looks in order.
We are not handy.
We are headed to a nearby state park for the night and hope that we can plug into power and have lights and the heat pump.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Is there a battery disconnect?

Is there a main "12V off" master switch somewhere?
Could they have depleted your coach batteries and they need charging?
Do you have lights with the generator running?
Do you have lights when plugged into the campground 110v?

When you open your coach door look to your left, there will be a large round switch marked on and off this is your battery cut off switch. everything should start working when you turn this to on. If you leave this switch on when not using your motor home things like your c02 detector, and tv sets will drain your coach batteries.

Thank you all soooo much!

Post Main Battery Shutoff

Remember that main battery shutoff (Big Knob) must be in the on position to charge your house batteries when plugged in to AC.
Like quoted in above message, turn to off when not using the camper to stop drain on your batteries.
