Lost all power while driving

Driving down the road, I lost all chassis power to my Hurricane. ERS sent a guy to jump battery but it is fine. Tow guy came next and he cant tow because brakes are locked in back and he cant remove driveshaft. I can not shift out of park. He too checked battery and said it is good. He says it looks like a relay from battery to the ignition? We were just about 500 feet from our home so he was able to lift the rear and pulled it back to in front of my house. More calls to ERS this morning to get this resolved. The battery reset switch works fine. Very scary situation. All dash gauges are locked in the position of the power loss.

Have you considered calling a shop that works on Ford trucks?
This sounds like a chassis/running gear issue: not one with the coach part.

ERS is sending out a mobile mechanic. Hopefully he can resolve the issue without needing a tow.

My apologies to EA37TS for not responding earlier. We currently have FMCA Roadside assistance. We had Good Sam ERS for many years, but switched to FMCA as it was cheaper, and we learned that the Road Service folks typically respond faster to FMCA than the Good Sam calls. Update on the RV, after 2 weeks in the shop they could not duplicate the issue. I then took it to CW for a previously scheduled appointment for interior work. It is still there! Had hoped to get it to a Ford dealer for them to look at it before our next outing...I did report the failure to NHTSA.
