Hi all!

I have a 2010 Scamp and initially thought we had a dead battery. Bought a new battery and still no power. But power works when plugged into our home. Where should I start first?

Thanks for the help

Using a test light or meter check the voltage at the battery and work your way to the fuse panel. The fuse or its holder in the battery box is a common failure point. Your book may have a wiring diagram in the back. Some years had a fuse under the bunks just inside the front also.

This is extremely helpful, thanks for taking the time to explain!

and after you've discovered you hooked up the battery wrong, check the 30 amp fuse in the converter.

I missed the part where they said they hooked up the battery wrong.

It is easy to make that mistake, because main battery connections are generally RED (+), BLACK (-), unlike most everything else you'll encounter.
Re-check the Main Battery connections . then look for a blown Main Fuse in the stated locations.
