House battery issue

[Kenny4086]

So I have had the house battery tested. I checked around the battery area for a switch ( none here, unless it’s somewhere off the beaten path) and no breaker is flipped. The switch won’t turn on all all.

Thor Industries makes over 100 different version of RVs. It would be most helpful to tell us the year, make and model of your RV,

There is no "switch" in the battery area.

For your Class C there should be two DC breakers in/around/under the battery area that look like:



One is 100 amps and goes to your generator and levelers (if installed).

The other goes to the House DC buss through the battery disconnect latching relay (USE/STORE, MAIn POWER). That's the one you need to find.

You may need to get on a mechanic's creeper and get under the RV to find them.

You may need to look down the side walls of the batteries with a flashlight. Thor can be pretty good at hiding them.

Generally, house batteries are connected to the power center (where the 12 volt fuses and 120 volt BCs are located) by a #6 awg cable. The cable runs from the positive post of the batteries to a circuit beaker (usually 50 amps) in the house battery compartment and on to a battery isolation latching relay and finally to the power center's 12 volt fuse panel. The latching relay is powered by the house batteries.
Things to check - proper alignment of the positive cables and good ground cable. Locate the house battery circuit breaker and trip and reset it. Finally check the fuse(s) on the latching relay.
It is really time for a VOM to check where the break is in the power train.

On most class c the 50 amp 12v breaker is near the power distribution center. It looks like it is under your bed. Look for a gray breaker with a small black button on it and make sure the button is pressed in. Here is a picture of mine. After that follow the advise in the above posts.
