Help- multiple electrical problems

We just arrived at camp site in our 2006 Tour 40 KD. We haven’t camped in several weeks due to high heat and humidity. Arrived with no problems but setting up suddenly:

-Electrical entrance step will not extend
-No lights on leveling control pad and jacks not working
- remote mirrors do not work
-rear and turn cameras do not work
-Electric defrost fans do not work…

I’ve checked all circuit breakers and none have tripped

Step worked fine when loading this morning

Sounds like electrical issue but I don’t see any tripped cb’s anywhere…

Anyone have any thoughts on what to check next?

Did you check these 12V breakers in the left front outside compartment, as shown in the Front End Wiring Installation diagram for your coach?

Did somebody trip the chassis cut-off switch by the door?

Yes, the Chassis battery powers many of these items. So your problem could be a loose battery connection, a dead battery or a chassis battery disconnect off or failed or similar.

Since those different circuits have different feeds for the power, my first thought would be that it has to be the ground which is common to all those items.
Looking at the drawing https://www.winnebago.com/Files/File...52109.pdfhere: Sheet one Frame 5 shows a large ground bus bar with lots of different ground wires.

This lists the codes stamped on the wires:

One that I did chase down feeds the mirrows, turn signals, and cameras, so I would make that a first stopfor checking the ground bus is solid to the steering wheel and the specific wires are solid to the bus. The RC wire is a 14 gauge white wire at the bus but many others are also, so it will be necessary to check the wire labels to be sure of the correct wire OR just check they are all good !!

You can see there are many grounds for many circuits and I did not chase them all down but suspect the bus has come loose on the steering column and I think a complete check of the RV might find many other things not working as well!

Is the spotlight and drivers map light out as well? They use the same ground!
