Thanks Elaine and Bill - I'll pass the info on to Sam so she can look for the switches. Jack and Janet - thank you, thank you for so much help with this problem. You diagnosed it without even seeing it. I am so thankful for your help. Hope everybody had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Sam's camper is back working and she has survived some 40 degree nights. When she hooked up the new battery she said lights lip up she had never seen on before, in particular the oven light and outside running lights. The oven light has a switch but she has not found how to turn the outside...

That's a great catch about the 50 amp breaker, thanks. I will ask Sam to check with the landlord and make sure she is on 30 amp service. Here is a picture that shows the breakers and plugs a little better. I think the white powder in the two battery cells is what is left after they shorted and...

The caregiver who helps take care of my elderly dad lives in a 1987 8721 Funlite FLL. A few nights ago she was running what for her is a normal AC load she uses all the time - air conditioner (not on highest setting), TV, refrigerator, and a 60 watt lamp. What we think is her master switch was...
