Hello Pingman,
Lets get back to the basis.

1. The slides and ceiling lights are 12 volt DC powered.
2. 120 volt AC power will run the A/C, microwave, AC outlets, and the converter, which charges the coach batteries.

RE: No power for slides & no ceiling lights. You need to start with the 2 or 4 - 6 volt batteries. Are they fresh and measure at least 6 volts DC?
Are all the battery connections clean and tight.
Does the 12 volt fuse panel measure 12 volts?

RE:Shore Power: Do you have a generator? If so, is the ATS working and providing power throughout the coach? Is there,AC power going to the converter??

Unless the wiring has been burned up - which then makes this coach very difficult to fix, no schematics are necessary.

Hopefully, you have some basuc electrical skills to check these items out. If not, you are going to be in store for some BIG TIME expenses for a good Mobike Tech.

Hi Mike
Here are a few more drawings I have for the Discovery coach.

I do have several drawings showing the wiring diagrams for the Freightliner Chassis.

Does your coach have the Hydraulic room slide? I have some info on that also.
