In need of help stuck on mountain

No power to dash can't start engine. Chain of events, generator has been running fine. Tried starting it this morning primed but would not start coach batteries 12.5 volts. Started engine running fine. Decided to try generator again, engine immediately stopped running and now no power to dash or engine. Please help.

It sound like you've tripped the main circuit breaker , that's inline from the chassis battery to the dash , usually within the first 3 feet in the positive cable .
Mine are on the frame behind the battery box . Like the picture below .

Sounds like one of the 250-300 amp fuses blew. They should be located close to chassis batteries.

I had a similar situation with my Alpine which turned out to be a bad connector at the positive terminal of the battery bank. Agree with others that a look at the main fuses is in order.

Thanks for the suggestions. All of those checked out fine. After calls to Spartan and Newmar with no luck, a mobile tech found a lose cable connection at the master kill switch in the engine compartment.

Thanks for posting the solution. Glad you got it resolved. I was thinking loose connection but didn't even consider the master switch.
