4 winds

I have a 2000 4 winds. I have no 12 volt power from batteries. If plugged in i have it from inverter. I have replaced the relay. Have power from the shutoff. Any ideas?

Mr Obvious would suggest the Use/Store switch. Not sure what you meant by "shutoff" that you have power from.
Try providing a little more info, and maybe you'll get an answer from some of the smart folks hereabouts.

House batteries or engine battery?

Do you mean if the "coach" is plugged in, like connected to shore power? To be honest, I didn't think the 2000 4 Winds came with an inverter. Do you mean "converter" or maybe the battery charger?

Converter and house batteries.

I'm having trouble understanding what you're asking and that makes it tough to diagnose.

But it sounds like the house batteries are dead. How old are they? Have you taken a reading on them using a multimeter? A fully charged 12 volt battery will show 12.9 or above. A discharged battery will show around 11.5 or less.

If you have dead house battery's, then you will get no 110 power out of the inverter. In fact, the inverter will probably refuse to run at all. But if you plug the coach into shore power, the charger in the coach will send 12 volt power to the batteries and the inverter will probably run, supplying 110 to the coach.

Does that seem like what is happening?

The house batteries not dead. Metered them.
