Awning, lights don't work
My battery has full charge and everything works on electric. However, when I use just battery power my interior lights, awning and fridge will not show any signs of life. The slide works!
I have tried fuses (all good), breakers (flipped off and on). Just cannot understand why the slide works and nothing else??!?!?! Any tips for me to try?
2018 Rockwood Mini Lite 2104s.
Everything worked last trip and my battery is 100% and is turned on.

Try this: Follow your battery cables under the frame from the battery. Somewhere in the cable you will probably find a 30 amp circuit breaker. It will look something like this (may or may not have the red cover):
There will be a tiny button on one side. Push that back in to re-set the breaker.

X2 on the resettable breaker on the tongue. You can also check to insure the battery disconnect switch is turned on if you have one. May have been turned off for winter storage. Also check the two high current fuses 30-40A. Could be in distribution panel or on back of inverter. Are you sure your battery is good?
Suggest you add you unit and TV info in your sig. It will allow members to narrow down suggestions specific to your unit.

Hello,
I found two red little boxes that had a fuse in them but they are in a really awkward place under the battery. And I could not find any buttons for reset. Should I pull out the fuses? Or am I missing something?
Thanks so much for the tip.

Not sure I can help you but someone might. Can you post a pic of the fuses?

Some devices on the trailer have their own inline fuse that is independent of the main power fuse compartment. Slides, stabilizers, landing gear, etc., are frequently found with their own independent fuse.

No lights etc when on battery
Our brand new 2018 Rockwood Minilite 2506S has no electrical powrr when not plugged into the truck or shore power. We looked under the trailer for the 30 amp breaker to push the button but we could not locate the breaker. The slider works but electrical lights inside and awning do not work. Help! please! We live almost two hours from the RVDealership.

Is your battery disconnect switch turned ON? It's probably located in front of the battery under the LP gas tanks (mine is, anyway). It most likely looks like this:
If the dealer didn't show it to you, shame on him!!

Yes the battery disconnect switch is on. Slidout works. No fuses blown, no circuits in panel are showing any problems. Lights and awning work when on shore power or connected to truck while on.

Check all the fuses in your fuse panel/breaker box; see pic below. Especially check the 40 amp reverse power fuses that are shown circled.

I will double check fuses again tomorrow paying special attention to the ones you suggested. Thanks.
