Trouble-shooting help please. Battery/Electric

Hello folks,

Today we left Calico Ghost Town (Southern Cal) headed to the Sierra's. We stopped for lunch in Ridgecrest, CA and discovered the water pump didn't work. That discovery led to us discovering that we had NO Power in the rig at all. No lights, pumps, refrigerator (was running on LP), in fact the whole electrical switch panel was out. No lights at all.

We decided to stay here for the night as our destination was a much smaller (and colder) town.

We checked into a RV Park and plugged into a 50amp electrical station/post and all is well. When I flip off the electric switch, again the rig has no power. I did a load test on the batteries (new in 3/17) they both showed 13.10 volts. (under best case, I would only expect to see 13.6-13.7) so the batteries look good.

Is there a breaker or electric shut off somewhere that I'm not aware of? The power kill switch in the convenience cabinet is on and I tried turning it off and then on again.

Ideas? I'd love any help you can provide.

Thanks
wade
