If I'm not mistaken, I see the reset button at the end of my right arrow, where I edited your pic.

If the button is not there, then look at the end of the circuit breaker where I have the left red arrow.

The resettable circuit breaker is underneath the battery cables and has that 30 amp big fuse attached to the top of it.

Click on my pic and look at the right side arrow. It's pointing at the black reset button, if I am seeing correctly. You may have to find a way to press it.

It was asked before but I'll ask again... Do you have a battery cut off switch?

Many times they are wired that the slide/jacks will work but cuts everything else off.

It looks like it but it is just a bracket that the wires go into. Could the reset button be in the metal box?

Oh! It was a reset button!! But I pushed it in and nothing changed. Do I have to hold it for 10 seconds or anything?

Really, you shouldn't have to hold it in long.

Questions:

1. How new/old is your battery
2. Are you camping at a place without electrical hookups (that one has been asked but not answered)
3. How long were you planning on camping, if you didn't have 120 volt hookups?

4. Anyone nearby have a multimeter and is knowledgeable in it's use, so they can check your battery, and/or power to that resettable circuit breaker?

Are you sure you don't have a battery cutoff switch? Given the age of your Roo, if you do, your's would look something like this one (kind of a knob about 1-1/2" in diameter).


Probably located next to your power center (where your breakers and fuses are located); looks something like this:


It's usually located under your fridge or some other place low down. Here's a pic of one installed. You may or may not have the labels (my Roo didn't).


If you have the switch, you push it in to turn everything off and pull it out to turn it on (just like a headlight switch in an older car). It's very easy to inadvertently kick it or hit it with something, pushing it in and turning everything off.

1. Batteries are around 14-16 mos.
slide works fine, so don't think there is a battery problem.

2. There is no electricity at the camp ground

3. Was planning on camping 5 days. Have a solar charger. Generally go out 4-8 days with no problems.

4. I can check tomorrow on the multimeter

The OP has a 2008 Roo, which doesn't have a factory battery disconnect switch.

He's probably camping at a California state park, where less than 1% of their campsites have hookups of any kind. So 99% probability he has no electricity.

I emptied everything from my cupboards and storage looking for a cut off switch. I didn't find anything.

i had a 2007 Roo 23SS and there were no factory battery cutoff switches for 2007 nor 2008. i don't think FR started installing them till 2011.

unless it was installed by a previous owner. and it wouldn't be in a cupboard or storage area. it would be on the battery or A-frame.

Well, the first thing that's going to have to happen is someone is going to need to check voltage (with a meter or test light) through those circuit breakers.

Gotta start with basics and go from there.

I would check if battery is hooked properly. Should be black lead to positive and white lead to negative. White lead should be connected to frame of trailer. Also check the two reverse polarity fuses in your fuse panel which are 30 amps at the top.

Yes, if slide is hook up directly to battery through the 30 amp fuse that you see in her picture, it will work but just in reverse operation.
