12volt Power issue

I just set up my new to me 2009 FR 30UR bumper pull in a non power site. Used 12 volt to put out the slide but I can't get any 12 power to any of the lights or appliances. With no 12 volt power I can start the fridge or hot water tank either. What am I missing. All the fuses in the inverter are good.

Just pulled out the multimeter and found the batteries only have 8.45volts.likely the cause I'm guessing. Better hurry off to the store in the near town for new batteries. Going to try a jump, if that works it's my batteries.

Turns out the batteries are drained but the cause of no power was a poor ground in the front of the frame under the trailer. Glad I had my multi meter with me to trace the power. It's time for new batteries anyway I guess. This camping business is costly. Every trip out has cost for something extra.
