Silly me. Not "shower," but shore power. I should have proofread my question better. Yes, our water pump worked with the battery on. It is only the 12 volt lights that did not work. The KOA campground manager used a digital voltmeter (I think that is what it was) and said everything was ok. It is only the lights that are a problem. The microwave showed power, although we didn't use it. We didn't try any other 120 volt appliances either. I did contact the service dept. at RoadTrek and, if I understand them correctly, they said that if the shore power is properly hooked up, then we still have to have the battery turned on to use the lights. That is because the lights run only from battery power and not from shore power. However, I am virtually certain (although I wouldn't bet body parts on it) that when we had the shore power connected we also had the battery turned on & the lights wouldn't work. That doesn't make sense, but I think that is what we tried. Thank you all of you RVers out there that are responding to my plea for help!

We are brand new RVers and just came home from our first outing. We successfully hooked up our shore power and got 110 inside, but could not get the lights to come on. But all the 12 volt equipment worked fine on the battery so we just used it. The KOA campground manager checked out our connection, his power box, and our fuses. What did we miss? Is there some kind of master switch we are supposed to have on? Turning the inverter on or off made no difference. Our RoadTrek manuals were of no help. Any help you could give us would be greatly appreciated.
