ok. Thanks.
I ordered a new DB yesterday that arrives tomorrow (Friday). If that fails, I'll install a 30amp line at the back corner. It's near the box and I'm planning to do it this summer sometime anyway.

Is that 15A outlet a GFCI that tripped? Do you have an outlet tester?
A functioning 15/20A outlet will run anything in the camper up to the current limits, don't forget the current use in the house for other outlets on that circuit.
The fridge and charging the batteries should not be an issue. You may get one of these to work but not guaranteed, AC, microwave, water heater, fireplace etc.2021 Imagine 2800BH

It's working now.
The battery was completely dead today. The battery didn't die last week even when I tested leaving lights on overnight. It had the same power level the next day after that test, but was dead today with everything already in the off position.
The 30amp breaker was tripped when I checked today. Could've been tripped by storms yesterday. Tried resetting it last week, but it was fine. It was all the way to the right as it should be last week. Today, it was in the middle and clearly reset when I flipped it back and forth. After this, the GFCI outlet (the only one with a reset button) had an amber light that wasn't there last week. After resetting the 30amp breaker, then the GFCI, all power returned.
I've tested with the old and new dogbones and both work fine now. The mostly likely thing is probably something I did wrong as an RV newbie, but don't yet know what that was. I've done enough electric work that I usually know what I'm doing, but RV's are different so I'll be paying close attention to it.
Do I need to do anything about the battery because it is\was dead? Is it safe to allow it to charge? Should I be checking the cells? It was full and at a 100% last weekend.
The RV's been plugged in for 10 minutes since the power returned.
Thank you!
