Power lost

[jbrooks]

Took 2004 Monaco Signature coach in storage; went back a week later to retrive something, interior lights worked. Went back 2 days later to place items in basement and reorganize and noticed that the coach had not been pluged in to storage power, so plugged it in. Went back a couple days later to and there was NO POWER at all. Has anyone has this issue or can anyone offer any suggestions? Thank you!

are you sure the circuit you plugged into is live.
did you hit the house battery disconnect by mistake
did you check the battery voltage at least 12.5 volts dc
can you hear the battery charger working
do you have a monitor board in the coach indicating you are plugged in to shore power and at what level( 20 Amps) ??
does the monitor board show battery charging level or condition or voltage

When you say you had no power are you saying you had no 12 volt lights or are you saying you had no 120 volts or what. If just the 12 volt battery power is lost then look at the inverter remote panel above the drivers seat and see if it is on and showing that all is well. What does the Aladdin say for coach power. Does it show you have 120 volts and what does it show the chassis and house battery voltages are?

Thank you so much for responding to my thread about LOST POWER. Actually, I'm not jbrooks - I'm his signifcant other trying to assist him in the power issue. The following is his reply. Any suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated! We hope to be full-timing by mid summer!

1) Battery disconnects are in the "on" position.
2) The panel above the driver's seat is dead, shows no output.
3) Pole power (50amp) is live and working. When plugged in you can hear the
inverter humming, so we are getting power to the inverter, but evidently
noting from there. No 12v or 120v power inside coach. Even powered up
generator and still nothing.
4) As far as the Aladdin goes, it's yet another one of the hundreds out
there that is not functioning properly. Reads engine diagnostics properly
but not much of anything else. Looking to have it replaced with a Silver
Leaf system.

Thank you!

If that remote inverter/charger box above the drivers seat is dead then this is the problem. Since you say that you can hear the humming then try going out on the drivers side of the MH and I believe it is the second or third storage compartment back from the front and find the inverter/charger. On the front (facing out) of the converter on the lower left corner since it is hanging upside down is an on/off power switch and a circuit breaker button. Make sure the power is on and the circuit breaker button is reset (pushed in)is a reset switch and a circuit breaker. Once that is done then go back inside and flip up that panel above the drivers seat and press the ON/OFF switch of the inverter remote panel to on and see if you now get any of the top indicator lights.

Just to verify here that your salesman switch on the armrest by the main door is ON?

If all else fails I can go to my same year Signature and on the cellphone walk you through some checks.

Thanks so much for all of the above information. I spent over an hour last evening going thru the check list to no avail. However, this am, i discovered that the place where my RV is stored had moved it for temporary time and did not re-conect shore power. consequently, they also did not turn off some coach accessories inside, thus draining the batteries below 10V. End result is the inverter/charger locked down to preven further drain on batteries. Fix was to use a jumper box to house batteries to increase voltage above 10V which in turn brought the inverter/charger back on line. Soo many things to learn and remember.
Thanks again.

I set up to shore power and every thing worked fine but the toilet would not flush. I went about checking fuses, finding none blown. Now I have no lights. None of the light switch panel light up. 120 volts work good,TV & air work.
Is there a master fuse somewhere?

Check the salesman switch on the left as you enter the coach this can easily be bumped and kill 12 volt power.
