My new to me Coachmen 2002 Mirada radio is not working as well as I have a 2000watt inverter that does not appear to power anything.

The radio does not turn on at all.

Any ideas

I had one of those 2002 Miradas! Loved it. In that model the audio runs off of the coach batteries not the inverter. Make sure that the coach power switch is on. It is inside the entry door on the left. If it is then check your fuses and the contacts to the audio. If that doesn't do it I would suggest running a 10ga red wire through any available hole in the firewall to the coach battery terminal to the + side of the battery as well as a negative wire. Then connect your audio to that. If your fuses are in the same location against the front right wall down low below the dash I found that it was easier to pop out the left dash panel to gain access than it was to try to get down on the floor in front of the drivers seat. Your setup may be different though.

The coach power switch is on. I will look under the dash for the fuses.

I have a 1800 watt inverter installed. The front TV and the rear TV work when plugged into shore power or the generator is running. I want to be able to watch the tv without shore power or the generator running. Any idea of how I can do this? Thanks for the reply.
