Electrical issues

Hey all need some help.

I have a 2017 29hfs. My camper has been sitting for a couple weeks. I went out to get ready and battery was dead (nothing left on). I threw a charger on and checked and had lights. Now I went out again. Battery 100% no interior lighting nor anything else. Is there something I am missing? Breakers are fine and the gfi isn't tripped either. I can't even run the power jack. HELP lol

Check to see that your battery cutout switch has not tripped. You are obviously not getting power to the entire RV, so that would be my first guess.

I checked the disconnect and that is in the proper spot. That has also not been moved and like I said did work occasionally.

Just plugged into the house and everything works great. Disconnect is in proper spot battery fully charged. Still no power from battery. Must be a bad switch or bad cell in battery right? Or am I way off?

PH is right. There is a little breaker outside by the battery. This happened to me last year. Look under the battery box area.

As Steve and Play Harder stated, look for the 12 volt resettable fuse/circuit breaker on the frame rail. This post by Fonzie has pics and a better explanation.
