Thank you for your reply. I really don't mean to be evasive or not answer questions...and perhaps what I wrote didn't line up with what I was trying to convey. I ask my son to look at and try different things that were suggested. I guess that when I say all or nothing that was self explanatory...my apologies for the confusion there. I meant about the selling of the moho was of course after we got it fixed...again, any confusion there was my fault for perhaps not stating that correctly. Since I was not there, I don't know what to say except for my son and wife have conveyed to me..."when I plugged into shore power nothing worked; however, upon fiddling with the salesman switch mom said what are you doing, things are working." My son stated he kept an eye on the panel for the batteries and said that the power was coming from the shore power. The charge level did not go down over night nor did the generator run. So my only conclusion, unless someone has another logical explanation, is that the switch or solenoid must have something to do with shore (AC) power. When they returned to the storage lot and turned things on they did not work until he flipped the switch a couple times (on DC power). Again, I am only posting what I was told. As for the solenoid in my photo being the one on the right...I'm sorry, but Being not familiar with what it might look like and only going on photos another (actually not sure who) posted what I see on the right looks nothing like what they posted. It actually looks like memory boards for a computer on steroids (three light gray bars just under the light). Or, is it the black box with clear cover on it just above the strip that has wires attached to it on the bottom right (sorry, mind is drawing a blank on its name). The only other object I was thinking it might be is a small canister-looking piece (close-up in 4th photo from the top) in the upper left of the compartment. For which ever it is it looks like something we can do we just need fairly detailed directions (some photos would be great...but not pushing it). I think/hope I covered most, if not all, the items. One last question would be is the inverter should be on all the time? Where might it be located? I thought when we purchased the moho the guy pointed it out as having access to it in the main pass-through cargo bay; however, my son doesn't see it (IF he really looked really well...lol). Thank you so much!

All I can say is that nothing (nothing meaning all inclusive, except the microwave light and fan) worked either on battery/generator or shore power until my son fiddled with the salesman switch. He did not fiddle with the switch until he had plugged into shore power, then everything worked. This morning after disconnecting from shore power and was on batt/geny he needed to fiddle with the switch and things worked. I am sorry that reply's and info are sparse; however, I am not able to go to the moho and therefore rely on my son(s) to relay the info wanted. They know pretty much nothing when it comes to any of this and get extremely frustrated when asked to look at/find something they know nothing about. Tom Cherry, so sorry you feel as you do. We are trying to do the best we can...I cannot help it if we're (especially my son) not electrically tech savvy...and it would be a lot different if I was able to get to the MOHO. Richard Smith, if the salesman switch only is for DC, then why did things not work when connected to shore power until he fiddled with the switch? If it's really not the switch then what might it be? No, we may not be able to fix the problem but to have it narrowed down it won't take a tech so much time to figure it out and hopefully save me some money. I've done the best I could in giving info, considering my circumstances...my son is doing the best he can as well. I (we) do greatly appreciate all the help thus far from all those who are patiently trying to help. Attached are photos of the panel under the driver's window...for what worth they may be.

Well...good news...son and wife went to the local state park and plugged the moho in and nothing...however, son played with salesman switch, clicking it on and off several times, and waa-laa...everything came to life. Now, how to bypass that darn thing...

Thank you for your replies...for right now to make a short answer...the interior lights (none of them) work. More answers to come when I'm up to it.

Alright...yes, in SC and if anyone is in the Anderson, Greenwood, McCormick, SC or Elberton, GA area we are in storage right across from Calhoun Falls State Park. We have not connected to shore power as of yet because we know no one to go to that has a hook up and the CFSP won't just let us take whatever time it would take to go to a site, hook up, and check...have to get (pay for) a site for the night. The ring and pinion issue has been taken care of and the motor runs and moves just fine. The microwave is the ONLY thing that lights up. The generator runs and the breaker has been tripped off and back on. The salesman switch at the entry door has been on for any/all tests. Attached are photos my son took for me ( at this time my health does not permit me to go to the motor home). He has absolutely no knowledge of using any test meters...and my knowledge is only very basic, at best. In the battery bay he sees no type of any kind of breaker, knife-type breaker/switch, or anything. There is an inverter but not sure where it is located or if it is on or off. Which should it be at all times? Yes, coach starts and runs. The generator starts and runs (breaker was tripped off and switched back on). Nothing works. Yes, even if selling this needs to be fixed first. I tried to cover all previous questions; however might have missed some. It makes it harder since I cannot get there to look at it myself...may try this weekend but will just have to see how I'm doing...you know, sending a 20 year old who doesn't have his whole heart into it doesn't help either...at least he is trying some...lol... mohobatterypics.zip

OK...to help fill in some maybe unknowns. We have not connected to shore power, other than getting a campsite we have no way to do so. We have run the generator with no results. The switch is on at the entry door/steps every time things have been checked. I have health issues and cannot go to the motor-home so my son goes and he is not electorally literate but has checked the breakers but not fuses, he's afraid to touch/do much anything. The nearest location to take her to is over an hour away and with this virus stuff we're not even sure what all they're doing as their Web site is not real clear. Seriously considering just selling the moho. Thank you.

We had our 'ring and pinion' (?) freeze/lock up and when it broke loose it made an awful jerk and thump. After that nothing electrical in the coach works. Fuses/breakers have been checked and none were found (of the ones we found to check) to be tripped/blown. Even with the generator running nothing works. We have not connected to shore power yet to see what, in anything, works. What might it be? Where do we look for what it might be? In other words, any thoughts or ideas? Thank you, Gary
