110V not live on shore power with new coach batteries
Help! I just put in new AGM coach batteries. I still need to put in a new chassis battery but was able to start engine from coach. On shore power my surge suppressor is showing no errors and 120V supply but none of the 110V systems are live (TV, outlets etc.). I checked breakers under the refrigeration and beside the coach batteries. Also ran the generator and it did not energize the 110V system. Is there something else I am missing?

Nothing simple. I don't see how replacing house batteries could affect the 120 VAC supply system. Maybe the Automatic Transfer Switch decided to crap out, or the wing nut connections to it.

Ace is right
Get out your VOM and check the ATS voltage in and out

You mentioned that you "checked" the breakers. Did you physically flip them to the off position then back to on? I recently overlooked a tripped breaker because it had barely moved from the on position.

I believe there is a single 8gauge-ish red(it was when my coach did the same) wire you have missed connecting to the new batteries.
Did you take lot sof pictures before disconnecting?
There are TWO big breakers in the battery area.
One is often mounted Exactly on top of the other making it very hard to see.

Yes, I flipped them, do you know where is the ATS located on a 2018 24.1?

Automatic Transfer Switch
It was asked where it is, not what.

On gas class As the ATS is usually under the bed and at the end of the 6awg lead in cable from the shore line.

That is the trick, follow the shore power into the MH, ours is under a closet, behind a drawer. Sorta behind the 'power center'.

Poorly generalized statement
Ours is under a couch.
They are almost always near/behind the power center (Breaker panel).

Then it's on the steering column.
Automatic transmission selector.
If you didn't offer to get him a picture requiring 200yards through patchy snow, tearing up a drivers side bed or the whole Damn king bed, getting the pic and putting it all back together, as I did, once I knew what he was looking for, then What was your unhelpful statement about?
OP
Ask this guy about his.

So it turned out to be my internal Progressive surge suppressor that died after 4 years. So impressed that Progressive sent me a new one, no questions asked and no need to return defective unit. Up and running again!
