I have solar panels and 1500W inverter as additions. All the fuses look ok. The battery disconnect is in the proper position. The batteries are fully charged.
Any suggestions or is it time to bring it into the shop? Thanks.

When not plugged in, your rig runs solely off your batteries. I have heard in the newer rigs the slides come directly off the battery which is working according to you. Depending how you wired in the inverter it should also work if wired directly to the battery. The rest of your coach is powered (12VDC) from the power distribution panel which is connected to the battery(s) through the battery disconnect switch and possibly inline fuses, You said you have the switch in the correct position, To me this key switch nomenclature is confusing, key horizontal (Battery disconnect label) battery connected, then vertical battery disconnected. In this position key can be removed. Or you could have an inline fuse blown if you have one going to the distribution panel.
You said the batteries were fully charged, if either the battery disconnect key switch was in wrong position or an inline fuse was blown your batteries would not be connected to the power distribution panel and would not be getting charged from your converter when plugged in.
My 2 cents others may chime in. Think everyone may have eaten too much
