acs = air conditioner's? You need 12 volts to run most of the lights and the air conditioners. What does your inverter remote read? When my inverter went out I lost the lights, AC and furnace.

You need 12 volts for the lights and for the thermostat control for the ACs.

Check your house battery disconnect switch, breakers on the inverter/charger and if the house batteries are dead, hold the boost switch for a few minutes to get them up to 8 to 10 volts. That's needed to get the inverter/charger going.

Check the switch by the door . It may be turned off or the it solenoid / relay
it controls may be bad .
I think on your coach that solenoid is in the front run bay outside under the driver .

Thank you Myron I should have included the term Salesman sw
That's what I was referring to

If you have to do more research use the term Salesman Switch in the little google search box above.

It is so easy to bump the switch on many rv's and shut things down.

Thanks for everyones response, I found the problem after an extensive search, in the front elec. compartment on the lh side, is a 50 amp circuit breaker at the very bottom, it supplies power to the rear fuse panel in the circuit breaker panel, the breaker was tripped! I reset it and everything works like it should. I might need to get an extra incase it goes bad.

There is no such thing as a salesman switch. If there was you would find it in your owners manual.

There's alway a critic.

I put "salesman switch" in the little google box

This is just an example of what comes up and would help someone with this type of problem.

https://www.google.com/search?q=sale...earch=irv2.com

You will find the term salesman switch in thousands of posts here. You indeed won't find it in an owners manual.

My "Salesman Switch" is labeled Coach Power and is located exactly where it is supposed to be according to the manual. It may be only a nick name and you may not like it but it does exist.

My guess is that the OP was more interested in getting his RV working again than taking an English Technical Abbreviation lesson.

By the way, to be correct, there should be an ‘r’ after the word ‘you’.

Just trying to teach the newbies the proper Electric language and not some made up RV words and will continue to do so. By the way, guess what they call that very switch when it's installed in a boat? It sure as hell ain't a Salesman switch.
