Battery issue!!

I seem to be having an issue with my battery. The battery status light shows a dead battery and nothing works with the 12v power. Tongue jack, stabilizer jacks and other 12v items unless I am plugged into the trailer jack on my truck.

So this morning I got my battery charger out and hooked it to the battery thinking the battery was dead. However, my charger shows the battery to be at 95% charged.

The battery has a 1/18 date code on it and it looks to be new.

Any ideas? Input would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Neil

A few things to check.

1. If you have a battery disconnect switch is is turned on?
2. Check the resettable breaker under the tongue ( see photo). Reset by pressing small button on end.
3. Check the high current 30-40A fuses in the RV 12V distribution panel.
