Chuck, I believe I may have been looking at the wrong electrical panel. I did not see anything that could be reset. This panel is not accessible from the adjoining bay.
You are looking at the correct panel, but your coach has some differences from mine.  The 3 big round devices at the top of your photo are circuit breakers.  It looks like all 3 on your coach are auto reset.  You can tell by the part number: on your breakers it says CDLA-80.  The "A" in the part number indicates it is a auto reset (80 amp) breaker.

On my coach, the middle breaker is part number CDLM-90, where the "M" indicates a manual reset (90 amp) breaker.

One of those big 80 amp breakers on your coach probably feeds the 12 volt fuse panel at the base of your bed.  I don't know which one.  But since you say that you have power to the fuse panel and the fuses are good, it doesn't really matter.

I would check every fuse, breaker, connection, ground, and relay on the 12v bay panel.

There are no breakers after the fuse box. There may be a breaker feeding the fuse box  .
There is a blue wire that feeds the missing items.
There also is a green ground wire completing the circuit  . The green runs right with the blue up to the fan. Check the fan mounting screw for green and hood ground. Most likely faulty ground  Imho

Electrical Anomaly—Update and Solution

As an update to my previous post about a 12vdc electrical outage amidships (Grand Villa U300) today I discovered that, after having been focused on the 12-volt fuse box, the actual problem lay in the nearby breaker switch box for the 12vdc components. Apparently, while working in the engine bay, my shop vac bumped the exposed breaker switch panel. I had not found any of the switches moved, but the "Cabin Lights" switch had been tripped. I reset and—problem solved.

Many thanks to all who provided help and advice in finding the source of the problem.

Thanks too, to Tyler Warman, owner of Advanced RV Mobile Service, in Spokane, WA, who helped troubleshoot this, plus totally overhauled my aft furnace.
