Gremlins?

1999 Dynasty 40ft. Two days ago i went to open slide in living area. No power. Also no 12v in coach. No lights, no water pump, nothing.
Still nothing yesterday. Went out this morn and everything working normally. Anyone have an idea what's going on?

P.S. Not first time this has happened.

Battery ground is the first thing I'd check.

I'm with chad. If you have a high current run box (electrical) in the rear curbside there is a solenoid in there that is likely sticking. The dc cut off controls this constant duty solenoid. I had the same intermittent problem and put in a new one this week when I had my batteries out. Be very careful and disconnect all electrical and cover any solar panels. This high current box can really burn you.

Cliff, have recently cleaned the battery connections. Thanks

Paul, No Delorian noticed. May well have been one though. Thanks

Chad, Have had an issue with salesman switch. Thanks

Jeff, Will check the solenoid switch. Thanks

Bypass the solenoid that is operated by the salesman swicth. Do a search on solenoid bypass. Comes up once or twice a month. There are two kinds of Monaco's, those with the solenoid bypassed and those with not! Or I could say, "there are two kinds of Monaco owners, those who have bypassed the solenoid and those who have not". There is nothing more disconcerting than to be having a nice campout when all of a sudden you lose 95% of the 12VDC power in your coach.
