2001 Spartan Motors Alpine battery issues

Good Day
no power to control board

So I bought this from a good person whom had issues with the coach not having 12 volt nor Inverter power
I found the 4 6 volts batteries were hooked up , one was wrong and shorted , after replacing still had no power, found the in line 300 amp fuse popped , replaced and it seems there might be a open on the ground side
has anyone found a common ground point, or is there another inline fuse ?

Welcome to iRV2

I'm a little confused by your post heading and the forum you've posted in .

Do you have a 2001 Alpine coach on a Spartan chassis ?

Or a 2001 Newmar coach on a Spartan chassis ?

Inverters are installed by the coach manufacturer so it's important to clarify , which manufacturer.

Is it the inverter control board that has no power ( read out ) ?
Do you have the make and model of the inverter , that you could add to your post , so we can provide more help?

I see that you just joined IRV2 so welcome. If you own an Alpine RV, I recommend going to https://www.irv2.com/forums/f104/ for help. This is the Alpine Coach Owner's forum so they will be better at addressing your questions.

Ok , your state must title motorhomes by the chassis manufacturer and serial number info.

So for the purpose of your questions here in the forums , you have a 2001 Newmar Mountain Aire , on a Spartan chassis .
Spartan's classification of the chassis is probably " Mountain Master " I haven't heard the term Alpine used in relation to Spartan chassis before.

With no 12 volt power to the coach interior , I believe you may have a coach battery disconnect relay issue.
Do you have a volt meter and a 12 volt test light ?
The small control board " Intellitec " controls the disconnect relay in the power cord bay . By pushing the rocker switch to " Use " the red light should come on and restore power to the interior; if not the disconnect relay may have been damaged by the battery shorting out.

Testing and function of the relay is in the pdf.
Location in the power cord bay , yellow circle , red circle is a number of inline fuses that need to be tested too.
Note: Your coach may have a panel Velcroed in place , covering the back wall ,hiding the relay and fuses.
