Battery usage or lack of none

I have tried to turn on items in my 2012 Grey Wolf 26 BH without shore power and nothing works. Instrument panel says battery is full and its connected to power year round. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Nothing AC (like microwave or TV) or nothing at all - DC (lights, radio, furnace, fridge)?

Best to check the battery voltage...should be around 12.7 V if fully charged and 13.5V if plugged into shorepower and the converter is charging. If you have no 12V lighting without shorepower the battery is dead or disconnected. If you don't have a battery disconnect switch, check for an in-line fuse or resettable circuit breaker close to the battery.

All I checked were lights, vent fan and stereo. Nothing turns on.

was the battery moved or replaced?

there's a small resettable circuit breaker along the tongue, that gets tripped if the wires are crossed. there's a black button on it that you need to push to reset it.

You were correct. Reset the breaker and tighten down the battery connections and works as its advertised. Thanks for all your help.

The main circuit panel breaker is on if that's what your referring to John. I'm new to this so if that's not it, I'm at a total loss.
