In many class C's, Thor puts a breaker just forward of the coach batteries, within the battery compartment. About the most stupid place to put a breaker.

On my coach I have a 50 Amp breaker that controls most of the coach circuitry and there is a cable that runs the length of the coach from the breaker back to the converter/charger. That breaker is to the right of the batteries in the picture I provided.
There is a 100 Amp breaker (Left side center red dot in the previously posted picture) which has 2 cables coming off the output side. One cable (black wire) runs directly to the leveling jack motor and the other cable (orange), I believe from looking at the way the harness runs, goes to the 12V input side of my Xantrex inverter (2 compartments to the rear). If I get time today I'll go out to the coach and trip the breaker to see what systems go down. If I am correct that brings up another issue in that the recommended breaker/fuse for the input side of the inverter is 250 Amp.
The 50 Amp breaker, I believe, handles all of the other coach functions.
