For additional info... do ANY of your 12 volt systems work? (Furnace, fridge, slides, TV)

No not that I'm aware of, no battery switch.
I have to check the plunger switch.
already found the GFI popped when I 1st opened it, no power from any of the 110 outlets.
now those are working after resetting GFI.
I'll have to test plunger switch next.
Good thing I found it last fall before I closed it up, I had no idea where it was, till I happened to find it on the outside of the roof just behind the lip of the inside of the roof.
In my old StarCraft it was on the push out, when you folded the wooden folding board the cushion rested against, when folding it down it would push the switch down.
