New owner of 2014 R25SC. At dock and plugged into shore power and AC Main is on, shouldn't the cabin lights and radio work? What am I missing? I am sure it is something simple that I am overlooking. Thank you for your help.
 
New R27 owner myself!e breakers in? Power selector set to shore power?
 
Just Dreamin' is a MY '09 R25 Classic and inside the engine compartment is a House Breaker which controls the 12v system. It is on the port side of the engine compartment and mounted in such a way that I can trip if not careful. The first time I accidentally tripped the breaker I could not figure out why nothing worked inside the cabin when 5 minutes prior it was fine. Scratched my head on that one until giving up and pulling out the 12v electrical diagram and saw this breaker - reset good to go. Might be worth looking.
 
Your lights and radio are 12 volt, fed from the battery bank(s) not from the shore power AC.
The two master switches from the batteries need to be on to have 12 volt power in the cabin. (the parallel switch is usually left off)
The shore power powers the battery charger and the AC outlets.
