*****UPDATE******
I located the Inverter; it is a Heart freedom 15. it is an inverter/charger for my coach. This unit charges the house batteries on the coach. I also have a solar charger for the house batteries. I replaced the batteries and voila everything came on. I reset the breakers and almost all my 12-volt equipment came online (still have no power to the exterior compartment lights and compartment radio system) but that's ok I can work with that.
For FUTURE reference ITASCA's w/ a 50-amp system all should have the HEART freedom 15 inverter/chargers. These are mostly on the higher end models though. I have an "ac temp too high" light on the Xantrex controller, but it is working and I need to read the manual on how to reset it to get the light to go off.
To everyone that helped by posting their responses to my posts, THANK YOU. I have learned a lot from all of you and the information you posted. My next endeavor is to change the oil, test the fuel quality, replace a cracked surge tank, and change the fuel/water separator. I will then fire off the motor and start checking for air leaks, and other issues.
Hopefully it will be roadworthy within a month or so. This coach only has 41,000 miles on it. So, I should be able to drive it a while once its back up and running. I also found that the filters from my local caterpillar dealer are cheaper than most other parts stores.
Again, thank you everyone for making me use my Troubleshooting skills, I had gotten rusty.
