I have power to everything that is not plugged in but nothing to the outlets. I am also having an issue with charging indications. When charging I have a red light or low battery indication with 12v indicating on the remote panel. Coach batteries are new. Does anyone think these two are related?

Thanks for any suggestions. I have had this 2006 Country Coach for six weeks and it has been one frustration after another. This is not as bad and hopefully not as losing my power steering pump, but did make our trip less enjoyable while waiting for the repair.

Randy

If it's ALL outlets it may be a circuit breaker on your inverter/charger. The CB is usually a pop-out button. Simply push in to reset. OR it may be that the AC panel CB for the charger is tripped.
I am also having an issue with charging indications. When charging I have a red light or low battery indication with 12v indicating on the remote panel.
If the charger is not operating then the remote panel will indicate battery voltage. When the charger is operating the battery gauge should read near 13.5.
Coach batteries are new.

Yes, sounds like the problem is the inverter charger for both issues.

Thanks for any suggestions. I have had this 2006 Country Coach for six weeks and it has been one frustration after another. This is not as bad and hopefully not as losing my power steering pump, but did make our trip less enjoyable while waiting for the repair.

Hope the above helps you.

On edit: I apologize. I thought the post I responded to was the first in this thread. Randy, it would be better if you started a separate thread with your questions rather than hijacking this one. If I can be of help PM me.

Thanks for the reply. There is a 25 amp cb on the front of the inverter, but it does not appear to be popped. I am hoping that it is not the 2000w inverter. I had to replace the steering pump last month so it would be nice to not have two major repairs in my first six weeks of owning this coach.

Have you checked the GFCI circuits? With a volt meter you can check the power to and from the inverter. If it is coming back from the inverter you may have a tripped or bad GFI circuit breaker or receptacles.
