No Electricity

I have a 2006 Keystone Laredo and we lost power last night. There is power to the cord where we are plugged in but there is no power to the converter box(at converter box by fuse lineup). I did run 2 space heaters trying to conserve fuel so I might have overheated something? No brakers are tripped all fuses are good. I took up this box and found this, this is where I'm at. All looks good so far but I imagine I should unscrew box and look inside? Plug in cord appears fine, no signs of overheating there. Any tips, ideas or advice before I go forward would be greatly appreciated!

If you no power inside the trailer and you do at the pedestal, I would first try turning off the breakers all the way and then turning them back on. If that doesn’t work, post back for further instructions. I don’t know where that junction box is located.

I can't tell what the pic is of either.

If you have power at the pedestal (what kind of power - 30/50A and where is service - home, rv park etc.?). Do you have 120vac at the end of your power cable? At the back of the power panel? With a 15 year old RV anything may be going on but if you were running that much "stuff" on what I suspect is a 30A service you probably tripped something.

Agree with the above. If the space heaters are the "typical 5,000 BTU/1,500 watt heaters then they are pulling about 10 to 12 amps each. 1,500/120 vbac = 12.5 EACH.
So that's a potential 25 amps. add in the converter or water heater or fridge on running on ac and your 30 amp service will be overloaded.

If you have confirmed the pedestal is supplying 120 v then as stated first turn the panel breakers inside the camper fully off, then back on. Then if it doesn't work you need to start at the wires coming into the camper and trace where the voltage is lost. The breakers inside can look like they are on but actually be tripped.

How are your electrical skills? Do you have a VOM and know how to use iot?
