Nelson felt like it was probably the relay box but he said since I ordered both parts he would start with the control panel for the obvious reason it’s the easiest to change. I will let everyone know how it turns out, I appreciate all the help and keep the ideas coming, I won’t have the parts for a couple days. I am concerned about why it happened to begin with

Ok everybody, so I had ordered a control panel and the relay panel for my RockWood 8301ws by Forest River as I have mentioned in this forum earlier. I Checked batteries and every fuse I could find including the ones at the converter. I also purchased a better volt meter and rechecked batteries and checked the converter and got steady 13.75volt readings. I also talked with Nelson at iRV Technologies as well as Mark at Forest River and was feeling sure that the problem was the Relay panel instead of the control panel. Well, when I received the parts today I learned they failed to send the wire harness for the RSB68 that would replace my RSB66, so I went ahead without much faith in it working and replaced just the control panel since it is so simple to swap and low and behold it worked. So I had been concerned about what caused the failure to begin with, and after talking with Mark at Forest River I was feeling better after he mentioned that the RSB68 was a better relay panel then the RSB66. Ultimately I'm still worried about getting away somewhere and having the problem again. It would not be such a concern but if the slides are out and the control panel goes bad there is one slide on the RV that is nearly impossible to get back in because it has no manual crank, also if the awning happened to be out as well, I'm not sure how I would retract it either. So let me know what you all think I should do, Nelson is still going to send me the wire harness for the RSB68 but I don't know weather I should mess with replacing it now since everything is working. Thanks for everyone's help and advice.

Alright, problem fixed, after getting the right relay panel from QAV a Division of Patrick Industries and a wiring diagram from them I was able to remove the old RSB66 and replace it with the new RSB68 which I'm told from informants at Forest River has been very sound and stable. Thanks everyone for your help
