electrical failure 08 Pleasure Way Excel TS

[c7train]

So, I walked out to the van yesterday and everything worked like normal. Not plugged in and generator off, my normal 12v accessories worked fine, lights, furnace, sensors, etc. Now, The house batteries were a little low (showing 1/3 full) so I kicked on the generator for a bit, upon turning it off all the power cut. Now nothing works at all, no lights, no monitoring system, nothing. It's like the van is dead. When I kick on the generator everything works again as normal. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Any help is appreciated.

open the cabinet with the small circuit breaker- on my Lexor TD it is on the pass side of the van.

I believe that on rear sofa models it is on the front side of the cabinetry under the sofa- a little door.

there are 3 or 4 circuit breakers which when tripped a little tang protrudes from the side- it may be red ( like the manual says...) or black like mine are- the black ones are hard to see.

Are you saying that the 12v stuff all went off when the generator went off, and then came back on when when the generator came back on? If so, it would indicate no battery in the system at all, or totally dead. I would look for loose battery cable and check the battery first, unless there is a battery disconnect switch that could have failed.

Thanks so much for the help! mkguitar this was the issue. Booster, this caused the breaker to trip. There was a loose connection that I think caused the other breaker to trip. I tightened up the connection and reset the breaker. All is working well! Thanks again! Great forum here!
