Hmm, electrical mystery.
Everything works on the 50 amp park circuit for three days. Unplug and no power inside trailer, no lights, nothing, slide wont come in. BUT trailer jack works just fine. Drive home 1.5 hours and batteries have not charged and still 0 power inside but jack still has electricity. Checked breakers and all is well. A short somewhere or the panel has a problem but how come the jack is fine?. Need some ideas on this one....something to ponder. Puzzled in florida, admittedly it doesnt take much..

Check the battery disconnect red handle. You might have knocked it when loading or unloading.

I concur, the battery disconnect does not disconnect the jacks or the CO2, probably other stuff.

Good idea, went out and checked. Batter disconnect is in off position...so that doesnt seem it. Checking indivicual fuses tomorrow. Most odd.

I fell victim to this same logic. The battery disconnect does not equate to the "disconnect" being off. It equates to the battery being off. Switch in on position = battery on, in off position = battery disconnected.
The battery will not charge and no 12v to the majority of the rig in the off position.Geoff and Cheri

As others have said, you want the disconnect switch in the on position to both charge and use your battery.
Here is the new information, If you can remove the red flag key from the switch it is in the off position. If you can not remove it (with out turning it first) the switch is in the on position (battery connected to the trailer).
