I just took my 2016 179 out of winter storage.We're planning a three week trip to Florida next Mon.I plugged a lamp into an interior outlet and no power.After investigation none of the interior or exterior outlets have power as well as the bathroom vent fan.Since it's so late and dark I'll look into it tomorrow but maybe someone can help me tonight.Would all of these be one the same circuit? And could it be a breaker or blown fuse.Any ideas would be appreciated.

First thing is are you plugged into shore power?  If not you're not going to have any of your outlets powered, they are not 12v.

Also if your battery has been sitting in the Pod and not plugged up for all that time it is also likely dead.  There are parasitic drains on the battery at all times.  You either disconnect the battery with a switch, remove it when in storage, or keep the whole Pod plugged in to maintain power and charging of it.
