Thanks to everyone who provided suggestions on how to resolve my problem
I did try them all & was about to give up when I decided to take one last look at a small breaker in the bottom of my battery box
I had this same problem before & Fleetwood told me about this breaker which has a very small black button which needs to be reset & this resolved the same problem I had in the past
So this time when i lost all DC & my batteries were not charging the first place I looked was at this breaker but there was no black button projecting out the side of the breaker & I looked at this many times over the last week or so but no button was visible
Just when I was about to give up I took one last look at this breaker & walla there was the button I just pushed it back in & this reset the breaker & now everything works as designed
I plan on contacting Fleetwood & getting a new breaker but in the meantime I read that this breaker sometimes gets stuck & one needs to hit the breaker with some force as to fully make black button pop out so a reset can be performed
Hopefully I'm not disappointed tomorrow morning & discover again no DC
Thanks again for all your help & patience with me & my dumb questions

Any auto parts store

DC Circuit Breaker

At minimum 30A.....look on yours for markings

Some are 'auto resetting'......no little manual button to push.

"walla"?

The term "walla" is a (ahem) "variation" on the French term "voila." It should have an accent grave (pronounced "grahve") over the "a," but I did not take te time to figure out how to make that accent using the iRV2 editor tool.

"Voila" means "look there." It is an exclamation, such as one might hear when a magician pulls a rabbit out of his hat. Pronounced correctly, it is "vwah-lah," with the "V" sound heard, unlike the "W" sound of "walla."

<edit>I found the accent key sequence (Ctrl-`) in Microsoft Word, "et voilà!"</edit>

Thanks! I was familiar with voila (with the accent) from a year of high school French (back before the rocks cooled) , but didn't make the connection with this spelling. "Kewl!"
