No shore power

I have a T@b 320s 2022.  My batteries completely drained after the breakaway switch pin came out.  My dealer said my batteries would recover after one to 3 days of charging.  Even with dead batteries, shouldn't I still have shore power for lights etc. With the battery disconnected?

    @Bracha, yes, you should still have shore power available.  Not sure where you are plugged in (i.e., at home or campground), but first confirm that you have power at the campground pedestal or your house.  Then, check to see if any of any electrical breakers inside the trailer power center/converter have tripped.  A tripped breaker is the most likely cause of the loss of power.

    One thing that can happen if the batteries are very low: when you try plugging in the trailer, the surge of power to the trailer can trip curcuit breakers or fuses.
    What battery setup do you have?

    I only had shore power when I removed the fuse for the converter.  I checked the fuses on the batteries and 2 out of 3 were blown....

    Replaced all the fuses ( convertor and batteries). Back in business, all systems ago!
