It was likely the reverse polarity protection fuses that were blown. I'm surprised if the 30A fuse for the slide-out was the issue. There should be two 40A fuses in the center of the power panel, between the 120V breakers and the 12V fuses. This is based on the WFCO power panel that was in our former RP-179 and in our current GW.

Finally figured it out. After changing all the shortstop breakers, 4 total, and still not getting 12v power unless plugged in, I decided to change all the 12v fuses, even though they appeared OK. Once I switched the 30a fuse (slide-out) everything turned one! But if I remove this fuse everything shut down ]]> Sat, 08 Jun 2024 16:58:47 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15974&PID=153525#153525 Mess up and reverse battery connection : Finally figured it out.

I messed up and connected the battery wrong.  I now only have 12v power when plugged in.
The converter was replaced but still no 12v power.  I'm looking at the shortstop breakers under the pod and thinking I need to replace them as they don't a reset button.  I'm I missing anything else to check?
I have 2018 178.
