No power 2004 Holiday Rambler

I have no power in my 2004 Holiday Rambler Endeavor neither when plugged to shore nor running on generator. It was fine yesterday. Didn’t do anything or move it anywhere and now we have no house power. The control panel shows batteries fully charged. House battery switch is set to on. Plugged in to 30 amp outlet. All known circuit breakers are on. Tried battery cut off switch several times, still nothing. Same results when running on generatir. Any ideas?

Agree. Check voltage coming out of transfer switch or at main breaker. The suspicion is a bad transfer switch. Need to confirm if voltage making it out of the transfer switch.

Suggest you post your question on the Monaco Owner's Forum. There are many Holiday Rambler owners on that forum that can help you.

Which power did you loose? 120VAC, 12VDC or both?

The outlets are the only things that work. No overhead lights or microwave or fridge.

There are breakers on your inverter also.

IF outlets are working them you have 120V AC power from shore or gen


Overhead lights, fridge need 12V DC power to function.


So Salesman switch and/or shut off solenoid is probably the issue

Are all of your outlets working, or only on one side?


If the outlets that are on the same side of the MH as the microwave and fridge are not working, it's probably a breaker on the inverter.



Our HR Neptune has two breakers on the inverter. One for either side of the MH. One circuit breaker controls the outlets,microwave and fridge on the curb side and the other breaker controls the outlets on the drivers side. -

Had this happen to me when we first had a motorhome. It was the push button breaker on the inverter.

No lights inside means 12 volts is not getting to them. Outlets working mean the transfer switch is fine.

Either your master physical switch in the battery compartment is kaput or the notorious salesman solenoid controlled by the switch near the front door is bad. So very common.

Listen very carefully for some sort of clunk as you cycle the switch on and off. If you cannot find the solenoid do a search in the little green box above for "salesman switch". You will get hundreds of threads that should have pictures to help you find the culprit.

You should have a voltmeter of course and a quick check across the batteries and then past the switch mentioned or any breakers or fuses in that area will move you closer to the problem.
