Over this past weekend the following happened:

The light switch in the bathroom/shower area lost power and we could not turn on any lights via this switch.
The switch that was on the wall was working and we could turn on the light and other things. In an effort to fix it (and against the DW saying "Leave it alone") I unplugged it from it's connection and tried plugging it back in a couple of times to see if would now work. It did not...so to see if it was getting power, I tried to use a volt meter to test the voltage across the circuit. Suddenly there was minor "POP" and the following items were no longer working Air Cond (it was over 90 degrees outside). all light switch in the coach, the toilet would not flush and some light fixture did not have power. Not wanting to panic yet...I tried the breakers to see if everything would return to normal...nope..what I ended up with is that I had 110 at all wall sockets, the refrig would on A/C and I could turn on the 2 overhead lights by the switches in the bedroom closet. The EMS sensor would not show any power to the coach. I checked every fuse that I could find inside and outside the coach and all checked ok. I tried this group and got advise on what to check, none of it got me back on power. so 2 days in the heat and no lights was a bummer.

Took the MH in today and they found a blown fuse in a sub panel behind breakers panel. Beware this is where the voltage lines come in and go out through the coach. So if you ever do the stupid thing I did, there is a sub panel in behind breaker switch that contains fuses, that could be blown.
I hope this helps this someone in the group.
