Southwind 12-volt receptacles - Where are the fuses?

I have a 2014 Fleetwood Southwind with 2 - 12-volt receptacles on the dash and 1 on a bulkhead in front of the passenger's seat.
All 3 receptacles were working as recently as 4 days ago and now are not working, and I can not find any blown fuses!
I have checked all fuses in the box in the motor area, the box on the floor by the brake pedal and the fuse box above the LP tank.
None of the fuses are blown, and any with reset buttons have been reset.
Has anyone had a similar issue, and can you direct me where to find these fuses?

Jim,
I have a 2011 Southwind 32VS. I blew a fuse on the antenna booster in the overhead cabinet above the passenger seat once and I also checked every fuse and could not find anything that was blown. I just happened to stumble upon an inline fuse that was tucked in the opening where the front power windshield shade dropped down. You need to sit on the dash and look up in there. I hope this helps you.
Paul

Thanks Paul,
I will check tomorrow.
I wondered if there might be an inline fuse, this will help.
I called Fleetwood in Decatur and the Tech said the fuse would be in the box on the floor by the brake, but I couldn't find any blown fuses.
Thanks again for the suggestion.

Jim.B-

If Fleetwood used the circuit provided by Ford (some manufacturers do, some don't), then the fuse to power that circuit is #22 in the Ford "Battery Junction Box" (BJB). See this link, page 20, "Cigarette Lighter Feed." It's a 20A fuse.

The BJB is mounted under the hood, on the firewall, in the middle of the coach, up high. I believe your coach's BJB has a series of arrows on the front cover that point toward the release latch. The link above (page 21) shows where to find fuse #22 in the BJB.

Some Fleetwoods may have a fuse for the 12V sockets in the BCC, Battery Control Center. This post shows a picture of the outside of a BCC.

Hello Mark,
Thank you very much for your input, and for including the links to Ford's Chassis diagrams (I am saving this file).
I found the blown fuse, and as you suggested, it was #22 in the BJB.
Even after pulling the fuse, it was difficult to see the actual break in the fuse as it was quite small.
Once again, the experience of iRV2 contributors such as yourself have proven to be an invaluable.
Thank you.
Jim
