Check the shore power cord for voltage. Our '82 was not wired as I would like and all of the panel was hot as soon as the power cord was disconnected.
Check on my previous postings, I rewired our '82 to have the inverter only power up the microwave oven and the two televisions. I also added a Source Isolation Switch and can ensure that all power is disconnected before the panel.
Anyway, make sure that the batteries are fully charged and disconnect the shore power cord, check the shore power cord to ensure that it is not powered from the coach at the plug (be very careful! not to touch the exposed terminals of the shore power cord!)
