Partial loss of 12v power

2008 Itasca Merdian. After a 4 hour trip, there is no power to the entry steps, step cover, outside mirrors. All other 12v components work.

There are a few points that might lead to a fix.
One is that the power for both items comes from the chassis side of things. There often are two groups of fuses/breakers, one for RV things which Winnebago adds but another for the normal truck items like horn, lights, turn singals, etc. So when looking for a power problem for the mirrows and step, first locate the box with auto type things? That would often be under what passes for a hood on many RV. There may be one or more that have failed.

Both models of your Meridian seem to have the same wiring but I took this snip from the 39Z model as typical.

Click this snip to get a better view and idea of what I am thinking may need checked.
If not finding a fuse, you can also test for power and ground on the various parts of the step system. I go to the one I can get to easiest first!

But is your step kill switch set right?

Page 4 of the Front End Wiring Installation shows 12V breakers for the steps and the mirrors. You should find these in the left frontmost compartment. I remember popping the step/step cover breaker once when the driver and passenger both tried to operate the step cover--in opposite directions at the same time!

These might help speed up the look?

Two for the steps and while there might as well check the mirror breaker?

Goodluck on the bug hunt!
