I doubt that the breakaway switch suffered any ill effects since you created the short before it. The damage might be in the burned or arced wire cutter. The breakaway switch is always hot in most...

Look for a crack in the condensate line before it exits the cover. Those lines become very brittle and will crack or split. Replace with a section of clear vinyl tubing.

Steve, those 40 amp reverse polarity fuses should be toast! Check them with an ohmmeter to be certain and for chuckles just replace them. Like I said if the battery was reversed they don’t survive!

Those should be the reverse polarity fuses. Is there another circuit breaker near the battery which could be defective? My 2008 has 2, one for the slides and the other for the main dc to the panel.

Next thing I would check is the reverse polarity fuses on the power converter. They could result in no voltage from the battery to the camper.

If you don’t have 12 volts at the other side of the “short stop” or circuit breaker then it is probably defective. Pretty simple device, voltage goes in then out, unless it is open?

GroverT70, strongly advise you have the Onan generator checked out! If that was electrically connected to the power pole even for a short time I don’t think it enjoyed the experience?
