Shore power wasn't working
For the records. Symptoms - shore power cable connected, no juice. Checked mechanical connections and replaced end with new plug in case of corrosion. No dice. Found power center underneath bed, looked for burnout of anything obvious. No dice.
Went online and searched for Magnetek 6345 power convertors, and found lots of info, but nothing specific. Mostly they have the 12v system die, and the 110 system stays on.
Accessed the power unit by removing the luan paneling under the mattress. Found a "Automatic Transfer Switch" attached to the power converter. Researched online, and found that this is not a regular part of the 6345 convertor. Unplugged EVERYTHING from power, and removed this unit, wirenutted the generator connector wires, and reconnected the 6345 to shore power alone.
Lights and power 12v and 110 the next time I plugged in the shore cord. Now that I have power, will have to replace the ATS if my onboard genny works (still have to test) but figured this would be a good addition to the stable of bodge fixes for people.
