Hi and THANK YOU for allowing me to post to your forum.

We have a 2008 Holiday Rambler Imperial Bali IV. All of a sudden, several things quit working. The passenger seat won't move. The steps are stuck mid-way in and out. Ceiling fan in the bedroom is not working. Toilet is completely non-working. And the bank of lights over one of the sofas are not working. It seems odd that so many of these things have stopped at the same time. Has anyone else had any experience with this? Would turning the battery cut off switch off and back on help or is that a viable option to try? My husband has checked all the fuses and breakers (he says he has but I may go behind and check as well), and says they are all OK. We are trying to get our motor home ready to sell and it seems that it is trying to tell us not to do so by breaking every time we think we have everything working., Thank you so much for your time in reading and any responses!! I'm at a loss this time with so many things quitting at the same time.

I'd say cycling the battery cutoff switch inside the entry door would be a good place to start, although I'd think your entry step would get it's power from the chassis batteries.
He may want to inspect the two battery bank switches at the rear of the coach as well. They have been known to fail.

Good luck!

First off, Welcome to IRV2!

That all sounds like possible low house battery voltage. Check the voltage with a good digital multimeter.

Welcome to the forum.

Are you connected to shoreline?
Does the generator start?
Does the engine start?

As suggested, cycling any cutoff switches at the entry area may make things come alive.

A voltmeter of course on all battery banks is a must.
