U280 Electric issues

On the road with my FT and lost power to 15 amp panel.  Lights, water pump etc.  Checked fuses and look ok but no power to any of the 15 amp circuits. 

20 amp ciruits fine- AC, fridge, etc.

Connected to Shorepower 30 amp.  running 1 AC.

Guessing one of the solenoids on wall by battery went bad?

Any BTDT help appreciated!!

Does it all work fine on the generator? Only half the stuff worked on shore power when I burnt out one leg of the shore power in the ats.

Dan,
The 15 amp panel you are referring to is 12 volts?  (located under bed with auto blade fuses)
That panel is powered by the "salesman" switch near the entry door.  It might have been accidentally "kicked" off.

John Fritz, you are THE MAN :)

I knew it was probably something simple.  Bench seat on dinette loose and kids knocked it back against switch.

I'm learning!

Thanks All!
