I have fully charged batteries, but the inverter does not receive dc power. The Maxim remote panel only works on generator or shore. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Either a breaker between Battery/ Inverter or in inverter itself, or loose/ corroded connection at battery? If you have voltage going into Inverter, and nothing going out, either ON/OFF switch blown, or Inverter blown?

I don’t have power at the inverter. I checked the breaker and reset i, but still nothing at the inverter.

The inverter only "receives" DC power if there is no shore or genset power available - it ignores it otherwise. Are you saying you have no DC power in the RV unless shore or genset is on? That indicates the inverter produces 12v but cannot get it from the battery bank. That would suggest either the house battery disconnect has disconnected the batteries from the inverter or that a major inline fuse has blown.

I have no DC period ! The only AC I have is the washer/dryer and dishwasher. The Maxum remote panel powers up only on Shore or generator.

No DC at all, points to large fuses or master disconnect switch, near the house battery.

Inverter/chargers don't make DC on shore power, they charge batteries.

Follow the main positive cable from the coach battery bank and look for a fuse like the pictures below .
Other members report loose connections at the fuse holder and finding fuses blown.

That's what I'd look for - mine was red color.
