I have a 2003 Monaco LaPalma Gas (bought at Lazydays 2010) - Three separate times (at different rv parks) I have plugged 50 Amp to shore power. 4 to 5 hours later all the cabin lights, AC thermostat, smart board panel shut down. A tech checked EVERY electrical component for 1.5 hrs. I only have power at 110V. Outlets working to supply power for desk lamps to give light in the cabin. My Progressive Ind surge protector shows L1 & L2 receiving ample voltage. All fuses checked. Batteries are working. Looked in every nook and cranny for a converter. Not found. Guess that means my Inverter is supplying my batteries -- ??. The tech, in 15 years, has never run across my issue. We are puzzled. Can you please help me? Thank you, Dave

What kind of inverter? This should not be a difficult problem to identify with a volt meter. Is 110v ac power being supplied to the inverter or converter, whichever your RV is equipped with to charge batteries? When everything is not working try starting the engine. If everything comes back on line the alternator is charging the house batteries. With a volt meter you should be able to locate where your voltage loss is occuring with no problem. Items to specifically check would be inverter/ charger or converter, charge solenoid and all fuses and breakers.
