No DC power with Full Battery charge

I have a 2304 MiniLite yr 2012, and was having issues not getting DC battery power to the camper even thought the batteries were fully charged and no fuses were blown.

There is a switch located between the battery and the junction box mounted on the frame. There are two wires mounted one from battery to switch and one from switch to junction box. The switch is hidden behind the wire (with a copper post) from the batter just before the junction box, and the switch is small about the diameter of a pencil. You cannot see it. I reached behind the wire and pushed the switch in and power was restored. This is a trip switch that I believe was tripped when the batteries lost their charge and I used a battery pack to power my electric tongue jack.

Quite a few trouble shooting hours into this project to diagnose. Glad it cost me zero $ to fix. Wish that Forestriver had better diagrams/manuals that could help in these common issues. I do have to say that when I called Forestriver they worked with me to fix the issue literally while I was on the phone.

I'll post a photo of the switch soon.

That is a resettable breaker. It will trip if the current is too high. The forum is better than any RV manual.
