is your power still on..............
I take it you are at a site, hooked up to power
is your Microwave showing power?
if not - the power to the site is off
if so - check the main circuit breaker to see if its tripped
as your lights are 12V - you wont notice if its the whole power out

have you checked the fuses in the setec?
have a look in the nearest cupboard for the power point, to see if it is that

There is a internal fuse but need to take it to a dometic dealer as it is under the main control panel.
Not sure about about a power spike. It was working fine then just stopped. Lost all power. Now nothing at all
Check that the main breaker switch for the AC hasnt died or wires come out.......poor connections is not uncommon........disconnect 240 from van first. If its like the Dometic it does need a 12v supply, that may have dropped off, either way lots of digging around.
Totally agree with Smash above. I had the same problem at Christmas and took it to a dometic repairer who dismantles the unit and found that glass fuse will have blown. The repairer also said that in the event of a power spike, these typically blow to protect the unit. It took about 1 hr to dismantle, replace and put it back together for them and they had said that typically, this is what will stop the unit from working.
Hi,
Mine failed due to a poor wiring connection in the junction box where the wiring from the poptop sock is joined with the main power feed in a cupboard below the he pop top sock. Had the connections properly done and it's been great ever since . So if it's not the fuse, this may be the cause. Each time I raised the roof the connection would weaken, until finally the wiring came out. Poor workmanship by Jayco. I have heard of a few of these blowing fuses due to power surges though.
Cheers

If this is a common issue, sounds like it
might be worth fitting surge protection to the incoming supply
Sounds like I better get one and fit it after the RCD, as not only the AC but my fridge, micro wave and washing machine could cop it, I have them fitted at home and in shed so I don't fizz things like TV and stuff didn't occur to me about the van and it would be in areas more so where it could happen.
FAAAAAAAARQ
surge protectors for sure now mate
dang, not good
did they charge you an arm and a leg to fix it?
Just been googling around and surprisingly there doesn't seem to be much around in the way of surge protection.
Because Jayco use the CMS plug and play system, ideally an in line surge protector would be best after the RCD.
Pretty sure you can get the CMS tails to wire into a surge protector.
