Has anyone had the Vansco for the chassis not have electrical power? My Vansco panel has no power to it. Would there be a relay to power it up?

Jim,

Make sure that the chassis battery switch is on and that those batteries are not dead. I do not know of any fuse to the Vansco module. If it still has no power it may be bad, both of my modules failed. Give Vansco a call and talk to tech support. The module is quite easy to replace.

Check and make sure the plug is pushed all the way on.I've had mine come loose a couple times.

I found the batteries having only 3 volts, I have a charger on the chassis batteries & hope to get the Vansco powered up. I thought the battery boost switch would work to start the coach, but it did nothing.

I have had this happen to me. The chassis batteries are the ones that power the Vansco unit. If they are dead the coach will not fire up. In a pinch, you can jump the chassis batteries with the house batteries and then use the boost switch.

Now the question is why were your chassis batteries dead. You might check the thread down the page on chassis batteries.
